Diminishing Marginal Utility? With Ponies, Never. Nasser posted this video on my facebook wall first thing in the morning, I mean seriously, how cute is that song? Haha.. that's going to be myyyy song, one of many of course lol.. talk about possessiveness Haha
Cantering bareback is so much easier & SO MUCH mOre fun than cantering with a saddle, especially when it's a Wintec we're talking about. Did I ever mention how much I hate Wintec saddles? No? Well, you DON'T want me to go there. The last time I rode with a Wintec saddle my inner thighs & knees bruised for a week. ugly. I hate bruises.
So now, I am officially an addict.. of bareback riding, that is. I can't quite tell what is it about riding without a saddle that I'm loving so much {I'mmmm lovinnnn' it! echoes in the back of her head}-- It is probably a combination of the close contact with the pony.. that strange 'jello' surface of flesh, & the purity and simplicity of it. English riding costumes notwithstanding, I often imagine a camera craned around filming me in a scene for a historical documentary or a movie about Arab women and their infamous Arabian horses.. the feeling almost makes me want to step out of my breeches into a deliriously embroidered Arabic dress, undo my hair, & smudge my eyes in jet-black Kohl and gallop my heart out putting my pony's stamina into a test.
He always wins, of course.
Stemming from those animated visions was the urge to capture them in stills. I've scheduled a professional Hassleblad portrait photo shoot for the two of us, but that has been pushed back till about the end of this month, which is when my Stallion is due to come to the Emirates.. iffffff we find him a quarantine box, apparently those are rare in this time of the year >_<; Did I mention how much I love my mom for this beauty!! I love her => I dooooooooo
Martha entertaining in her stables *sob sob sob* -- I waaaaaaaaaaaant! 
My ultimate dream-home would be a place where my place is built in the midst of a dream-like scape, with a thousand & one breathtaking ponies running free. Entertaining in the stables a la Martha Stewart would be SO much fun! But for that I'd have to have mOre than a couple of ponies, non? No problem lol, the law of diminishing marginal utility obviously does not exist on my books; I've decided that my next horse purchase will be a fairytale straight egyptian halter show pony, and after that either a baroque knabstrupper that I'll train for jumping, or a Friesian that I'll prep for dressage or just to toss his thick mane around in slow motion lol, & of course, the five of us will live happily ever after with Chanel & Tantra dorking around =>
The two girls have just been introduced to clicker-training. Nikki -their trainer- visits them twice a week for that, & as it appears, Chanel turned out to be the A+ student, while Tantra is the spoiled little thing that has her mind fixed on the chicken sausage treats and expects to have life easy.. & I know I should be angry at her for that, but it's quite the contrary: I love her for it! *lol* -- She just has a mind of her own, and to her the world is play play play Haha.. The good news is Nikki doesn't have my love-weakness, so Tantra behaves when she's around and does what she's asked to do with not so much as a blip. I'm excited though, I mean.. last night was their first fetch-training session, & I threw a round little thing and both of them went after it, grabbed it.. and well, Chanel brought it back, & Tantra decided to keep it for herself >_<;
I wonder if I could train them to carry their own little handbags?
Will keep you posted on any progress in that direction =>
