Looking at the Rear View, Badly Rhymed

By Patty Wilber    


Warning: bad rhyme to follow (think Gilligan's Island)    


Just sit right back and you"ll hear a rhyme

a rhyme of an adventurous time

it was the year 2010

and I will now begin.    


It was like a totally awesome year,

Definitely not ho hum

Lots of horses near and far

loads and loads of fun.    


One hundred thirty three hours of trail work

which included packing, too

Penny lead and Risa followed,

since her other skills are few, I mean her other skills are new!    


Risa: REALLY? Me: YES!


Risa: Really?! Me: Yes!


OK! Merry Christmas from Risa


   Some cows got sorted and pushed along,

Penny was the one

T got cut behind the gut,

After getting some, after catching more than one.    


Merry Christmas from Penny


  The Fjords kept me guessing about what to try,

Colorado was a blast

Donati, Juanita, Anni and Paul, too

Boy what a class, they are quite the cast!    


The young ones I started (Tabooli and May)

gave me lots to do

And the rescue horse (Winston, cute boy)

Has a home that's new, they got him right on cue!    


Merry Christmas from Tabooli


 I had some here that just needed a bit

of a little tweak

Show Boy was one, and he's so great

the other one was Zeke, and he was not a geek.    


The Belgian (Waffle) was a LARGE treat,

I've never been so high

He started spooky and afraid

but now he' calm as pie, which makes me say "Oh my!"    


We did a show and a dressage clinic

with the Azteca Dart

My good friend helped me that day

and Dart is always in my heart, he's really in my heart.    


  


 


   


There were a few just here a while

to see where they would fit

Cisco, Millie, and Sienna, too

I never want to quit, they were just here for a bit.    


I did a little rehab stint

with Dartagnon and Longshot

Longshot's growing like a weed,

he will not be going to pot, I think he has a spot.    


I had a slew of lessons starting with

Whip, Shadow and the Schmoo

Plus Fletcher, Glory, Ruble,

Rose, Cookie, AJ, Charrito, Rocky and Dusty, too. And little Dusty, too.    


Merry Christmas from Schmoo


Merry Christmas from Dusty


Rocky says Merry Christmas!


  One more shot I have not forgot

is the buckskin appy colt

Three's his age; reining's his game and

he is one smooth colt; he'll slide without a jolt.    


How embarrassing. My tongue is out!


Merry Christmas from Buckshot


 Rain and sun all came together,

to make a big double rainbow,

As I ride out of the '10, doncha know,

'11 literally starts with 2 shows, Jan 1 & 2, two shows!!    


Merry Christmas from The Boss of the Universe (Cometa), who approved this blog,


Merry Christmas to all from Risotada Training! 


Merry Christmas from Patty
