I'm an avid reader of the Fail Blog (http://www.failblog.org/) and its related websites. My little brother, who is 7, was just saying the other day that we should make an "lol horses". He's pretty funny, but you had to be there for the whole conversation. I would love to see an lol horses or lol farm animals. Well, I'll get to the point. I was reading my June issue of a popular horse magazine the other day. Let's take a tangent and discuss how annoying it is to get the "June" issue while there is still quite a bit of May left. That has always driven me crazy.
FAIL #1
Anyway, in an article on maneuvering through trail class obstacles, I found this:
(Ignore my thumb) I believe the photo is the professional whom they consulted when writing the article. If you notice the right side of the cinch is at least 6 inches from the saddle pad. On the left side, it is touching the saddle pad. This article was something like 4 pages long with several photos, all clearly showing this saddling atrocity. Having a properly fitted cinch has always been a huge pet peeve of mine.
Fail #2
Studly's PtHA papers came in the mail today. Here they are:
Hint: my horse is a 1993 model, with a bald face, high white stocking, and large white belly spot. So, yet another phone call to make.

OMG!!!!! They are way off on Studly's papers LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI can already imagine the conversation with the registry.
ReplyDelete"Are you sure that is not the correct picture? How do you know that is not your horses picture? Well, sometimes things like this happen, but it is pretty rare. So, the picture you sent us for the registration is not the correct picture? Well, we would have used the picture you sent us."
GOOD LUCK with that CCH...:)
I didn't have time to call them today, but obviously my horse isn't a yearling and the photo doesn't have the correct markings or brands. Ugh, the PtHA papers aren't even that important to me from a breeding standpoint. I just thought I may eventually go to their "world" show one summer. I hear the Pinto cutting class is not all that tough.
ReplyDeleteNew blogs to follow on AQHA papers, now there's a nightmare.
WHERE'S MY STRAW?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? LOL!!
ReplyDeleteDagnab it, I can't see the pictures very clearly.
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting the correct papers for Studley.
Dontcha love administration incompetence?
Joys of registrations! lol
ReplyDeleteWhere the blog post on the new farm addition? Been waiting! *taps foot*
Yeah!!! Where is our surprise?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad YOU said it, NDa & NCC.
ReplyDeleteI'm much more patient, and polite:):):P
