Colors to paint a twilight themed room?

By admin on Feb. 5, 2010.

Well I just went through a huge clean sweep in my room
and its pretty bare
So this is the perfect time to repaint it
Right now It has this weird horse theam from the Previous owners of the house that I hate to my vary core

Any-whoo
I wanted to repaint the whole room twilight theam
Twilight saga -by Stephenie Meyer
And stencil some things like the names of the books and characters
at first I wanted to do the tridishal Black and red twilight colors
like the colors of the books
But Now Im rethinking
for one black and red are quite depressing colors to have in a room
and for two
My room is rather small and dark colors would just make it feel smaller

So now I’m at a loss?

Does anybody know any other ways I could paint it
but still keep the twilight decor?

One idea is to paint your room white, and use bold black and red accents. You could stencil the names in black, and use red and black fabrics and furniture.

What’s the most amazing thing your child has ever done/said?

By admin on Feb. 5, 2010.

My daughter was always an animal lover. She seemed to be born with this incredible gift of connection. Once, when she was very little, my sister was watching her. She was talking to a horse owner, when they noticed my daughter had gotten away from them. They spotted her entering the area of a particularly hostile horse. They tried to stop her, but couldn’t get there in time.

My daughter walked up to the horse and petted it. The owner said, “I don’t believe it! That horse Never lets anyone near it!”

After having a long day at work my 6 y/o wanted to go for a walk on the beach. Even though I was tired I went with her and while walking on the beach she got a stick and wrote in the sand "I love my mom"……..it made the walk worth it and we walked along the ocean and watched the sun set….

just for fun…horse jokes?

By admin on Feb. 1, 2010.

You may be a horse person if…….
…you were driving to the grocery store and you freaked when you didn’t see the trailer behind you.
…you have ever used perfume on your horse.
…you consider belt buckles and spurs jewelry.
…you spend more hours at the barn than at work.
…your dog drinks out of a bucket rather than a bowl.
..your kids shop at Tractor Supply Co.(or any horsey store)
…you put your coat on the floor because the coat hanger is full of bridles and halters.
…you think high-heels are cowboy boots.
…when you think strapless is the kind of spurs where you push them onto your boot.
…you get pizza delivered to the barn more often than your house.
…the perfect getaway is a new trail.

How do you…
induce labor in a mare? Take a nap.
cure equine constipation? Load them in a clean trailer.
cure equine insomnia? Show them in a halter class.
get a horse to stay very calm and laid back? Show them in a speed class.
get a horse to wash his own feet? Clean the water trough and fill it with fresh water.
get a mare to come in heat? Take her to a show.
get a mare in foal the first cover? Let the wrong stallion get out of his stall.
make sure that a mare has that beautiful, perfectly marked foal you always wanted? Sell her before she foals.
get a show horse to set up perfectly and really stretch? Get him out late at night or anytime no one is around to see him.
induce a cold snap in the weather? Clip a horse.
make it rain? Mow a field of hay.
make a small fortune in the horse business? START WITH A LARGE ONE!

Horse Hair Warning

Horse Hair: Potentially Dangerous!!!
In a press release today, the National Institute of Health has announced the discovery of a potentially dangerous substance in the hair of horses. This substance, called "amo-bacter equuii" has been linked with the following symptoms in female humans:
Reluctance to cook
Reluctance to perform housework
Reluctance to wear anything but boots
Reluctance to work except in support of a horse
Physical craving for contact with horses (may be an addiction)
Beware: If you come in contact with a female human affected by this substance, be prepared to talk about horses for hours on end. This has been a public service announcement.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar and sat down to drink a beer.
After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said "Who owns the big white horse outside?"
The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gun belt, and said, "I do, why?"
The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "I just thought you’d like to know that your horse is about dead out there!"
The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside, and sure enough, Silver was ready to die from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got water for the horse, and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better.
The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, "Tonto, I want you to run around Silver,and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better."
Tonto said, "Sure, Kemosabe", and took off running circles around Silver.
Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the bar to finish his drink. A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and
A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and asks, "Who owns that big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stands again, and claims, "I do, what’s wrong with him this time?"

The cowboy looks him in the eye and says . . .

"Nothin’, but you left your Injun running".

Who Can Open the Gate
This story takes you to a big pasture, filled with a lovely bunch of horses. A question has just been asked amid the herd.
Let’s listen in on the conversation among the many breeds of horses.
…………"Who Can Open the Gate?"…………
Lipizzan: No need for opening it! When are you all going to learn how to fly?!!
Thoroughbred: I don’t want to mess with that gate and I am too scared of flying! I will just jump over it and leave you all behind.
Paint: Yeah, what he said! Na Na Na Na Na Na!
Palomino: Forget it. Count me out. I am not taking any chances of messing up my chrome!
Arabian: You’ll have to get somebody else to do it. I’m not messin’ up my nails for no one!
Quarter Horse: Maybe if I push on it with my big buns, I could open it!
Standardbred: Pity on all of you. I’ll figure it out, just give me some time.
Polo Pony: Wait just a minute, let me get my stick and give it a few bloody wacks!
Shetland: Let me at it. I’ll break the stu
Shetland: Let me at it. I’ll break the stupid thing! Then you all can get out of my face.
Mule: Oh, let’s just pack it in and call it a day.
Saddlebred: Now, now. I’ll open it, if someone could help me with my shoes?
Fresian: I’ll do it! Do you think it will mess up my hair? I always have such good hair days.
Mustang: Heck with opening it, how about I just run the whole darn fence over?
Belgian: Step back! You all aren’t strong enough to do it. I’ll do it. Oh, but what if I break it?
Morgan: There, there. I’ll do it for you. No need to have such a big fit. Peace be with all of you. Is there anything else I could do for you after I get done with the gate?
Appaloosa: Oh, hush all of you! Ya big bunch of sissies. No one is leaving till I say so!
Percheron: I have already opened the gate while you all have been arguing! I even went down the next row and opened all the other gates. So it will be awhile before I have to listen to all of you argue again!

lol, nice! I enjoyed reading them! Here are some more "you know your a horse person if…" for you;

YOU KNOW YOUR A HORSE PERSON IF…

- You accessorize your hairstyle with peices of hay
- You examine every peice of rope or twine for its halter potential
- You think a great vacation is spending a long weekend in front of a horse trailer by a dusty arena
- You take your children’s tempurature and think 102F is normal
- You spend more money on horseshoes than on your own shoes
- You always keep carrots, apples and sugar cubes in your refridgerator
- You perfer the smell of a stable to cologne
- You sleep with your boots on and count horses to fall asleep
- Your laugh begins to sound like a horse whinny
- Instead of giving someone directions to turn "left" or "right," you tell them to "gee" or "haw"
- You still have your childhood horse statues in your bedroom
- Your favourite outfit is made of leather and includes whips and spurs
- You talk to your horse more than your talk to your spouse
- You spend more time at the feed store than you do at the grocery store

Hope you enjoyed them n_n

Present for my horse crazy friend?

By admin on Feb. 1, 2010.

I am hosting a X-mas party at my house with four other girls. We are doing a Pollyanna, and I have my friend who loves horses. I have no idea what to get her. She loves horses, leasing a horse named, Ellera, and she just started showing more often (like at least 2 times a month). Our budget is $25-$30. Thanks!! I need a really good gift for tomorrow, so please answer!!
my friend is 11 years old

Find out where she likes to shop for her hobby- a local tack store, probably- and ask for a gift certificate in the amount that you can spend. Tuck it in a card and write a little note saying that you’d love to help her pick out a few small (depending on how expensive the tack store is!) things from the tack store for her new leased horse :)

You could make a day out of it and have your parents take you out to eat after, or go to the barn and order a pizza afterwards so she can try out her new stuff- good luck!

How is it possible not to look a gift horse in the mouth…?

By admin on Feb. 1, 2010.

…when all horses are gifts from God? :(

Great rivers of spiritual gifts pour down from heaven All we need to do is open our hearts to receive them
