STOP!!! STOP NOW!!!!

Hey, you started it, what with dying your
pond and all! Note that this method was
never included in the all encompassing algae
primer. This should have told you something,
but no.... you had to go dye your hands blue.
And just for that.... let me threaten to tell
you how to keep a horse from pooping in the
show ring...

AGGAHAHAAHHHHH!!?!??!?!?!?!

HOW? HOW? HOW?
And what's the vaseline for?
What do you wear when you do this?
Do you have to buy the horse a drink first?
What no foreplay?
What position do you use?


AHHAHAH...I can't stop...JMK HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!

Hmmmm.
Okay. I'll be strong. I need to keep my future
employment as an educator firmly in mind (as this is a public forum) and let
others take on the majority of those questions...
(how did we get so far astray? - going up to add OT to the subject line)
But I will explain the vaseline. My dear old horse was half Arab half Tennessee
Walker, a beautiful palomino and a sweetheart. He was shown in Park Class, the
fancy english saddles, long linen coats and derby hats. The horses were
supposed to be very showy, lots of high action and fancy stepping. That
included holding his tail high and letting it flow behind him as he went around
the ring. Now underneath that tail we would we want to see a dusty neather
region if you are a judge? (The answer is no ;-) Grooming is part of the
overall effort.
So vaseline was used as part of the grooming for show. Those horses were
treated better than rock stars ;-) - and I don't want to hear any stories about
rock stars and vaseline!
Now you know more than you ever wanted to know about blueing, vaseline and I'll
leave out ginger for today.

My sister shows Hunter/Jumper. No flowing tail or mane
there, but she sure has fun with all that braiding. I
know nothing about the dying.

We used to show Limousin cattle and I agree, the show animals are treated
better than rock stars! (Behave better most times too! LOL!) The stuff we
did to get cattle ready to show still amazes me. We even had a bull that was
"collected" to be used for artificial insemination. ;o) Our show girls were
generally too good to rish a breeding accident so they never got "the real
deal" when it came time to breed. Good bulls also meant that a breeding
accident couldn't be risked, hence the "collection". Quickest way to end a
bull's prospects is a broken penis! O

Wouldn't the vaseline act as an attractant to dust, dirt and other
undesireables?

Not for the 30 minutes in the ring.
The rest of the time he could be as slobby as he wanted. Kind of like spiffing
the boys up for a family wedding.

ok, you got me interested.
: )

daughter shows horses, does all the other grooming previously mentioned,,
but I never heard you could STOP a horse from pooping IN the ring ( btw, I
never heard that count against an exhibiter........ dog shows, yes).

(now if there is a miraculous way to keep a gelding from , ummm exhibiting
himself during halter & showmanship...... , whomps under the belly with
the whip, is the only way for that we knew of)
