Meet LuLu
 

I just bought a horse. Yes, me renown horse disliker. Her name is Illusion but we call her LuLu. And no I'm never riding her either. But Maddie loves her and for a horse she's not horrible :)

Congratulations!

Ummmm, Congratulations? Is Madz going to split her riding time between Lulu and Nemo? Or, are the two of you going to go riding together. You know, riding is what you do when you own a horse. Just saying.....

Conga rats on the new acquisition!

So Maddie isn't horrible as a horse, but how is she as a teenager.

Nemo's gone (long story and I use many R rated words to describe how it went down) so LuLu is now her new baby. And I've done the riding thing and I've got the cracked collar bone to prove it - so she's on her own.

So far Polo's fine, Pony Club we aren't sure yet as Maddie has yet to jump her and drill team pratice tonight was kind of a disaster. But with lots of pratice and patience LuLu will become the new Nemo.

do you want us to help find him/her?

I always wanted to get a horse and name it "Cat".

Or Elmer.

Congrats. Is she on her own with the mucking, too?

LuLu looks like a nice horse.

Congratulations. I've never ridden a horse. When I was young it was because my mom is afraid of them, she says you can see in their eyes that they want to kill you, so you can't trust them.

Then when I got older it seemed like a cruel thing to do to a horse (not riding them in general, but rather putting me on one of them).

I rode a horse once. Bucked me off. Then I tried to get back on and it tried to bite me.

Decided at that time it wasn't for me. So I'm with your mom, Alex.

Keep an eye on the next jump - it's a Lulu!

Haa-choo!

Yea me too. I'm allergic to horses, hay and alfalfa.

It looks like a very pretty horse. Congrats to Madz!

I miss riding.


Ok, I haven't done it in 32 years. But it was cool, and I'd love to ride Lulu, if she'd have me!


Is she going to be at the housewarming??

Well she's not right at the house but Maddie can take you on a short field trip over to the stables :)

I'll go to the stables! I miss having a horse - not the upkeep but the riding part.

We could put her in the garage. Since they're cutting the school buses next year Maddie could just ride her to school.

That animal will never fit in a shoe box that has holes in it for air that stores nicely under a bed...

Horsey! Luv luv luv.

I miss my horsey days. Grew up riding horses nearly every day of the summer on a ranch in Nor Cal. Now that we live out in the country, sort of, there are lots of people with horses. I just keep reminding myself they are expensive and require a LOT of upkeep.

Congrats to you guys though. Pretty horsey!

She is beautiful! :)

It depends on whose shoes...

And whose box.
