Here’s hopes & best wishes for a full back recovery. You know the saying: if you ride, you fall. I’ve had four broken arms & one concussion, all from getting tossed. All you can do is heal up and get back on.
Arab/Appy is a good mix. I had one myself. I never heard of a rider not wanting to keep her feet in the stirrups. That’s a new one for sure.
The inception of your Appy reminds me of the founding of the Thoroughbred line. The Earl of Godolphin was gifted w a prize Arab stud, which he despised for its smallness. He tried to partition it off, but the Arab jumped several fences in order to breed the Earl’s best racing mare. The Earl hated the offspring and tried to ignore it too. In due time, however, the half-Arab’s ability to outrun anything on four legs was duly noted, and so began one of the three lines to which every Thoroughbred traces its heritage.
I remember as if it were yesterday. In fact I was thinking about it when I read this thread. And you are absolutely correct.
Yes indeed, he has his father’s chin.
I never did read 1984. I should order it from Amazon.
I know but I like books I can hold in my hand - I can only stand so much time sitting in front of the computer screen emitting electro magnetic whatever they ares.
;-)
So you admit that you’re a criminal?

.Not Afterbirther Trolls!
sorry wrong book....that 451’s hero is Guy Montag. What I meant to write and din’t was 1984 by George Orwell
Thanks for the ping!
Well, this explains a lot of the goings on the the last week!
And his nose and ears and eyes and his AGENDA!
You know, when I first started, there might have been a few hundred birthers. Now, there are tens of millions of us. Perhaps we should resume our CoLB troll hunt?
“We have at least one Fogbow person right here at FR.”
You’re being very conservative w that statement. I realize you qualified it via ‘at least’, but still, the actual # is considerably higher than one or two. Fwiw.
“Perhaps we should resume our CoLB troll hunt?”
There are other things you can do. Just poking them now & again can be v entertaining. I asked one some time ago if he was a conservative, & if so how he came by his conservative world view. You’d think I asked if he murdered his grandmother, & if so by what method. He protested a bit too much, to make an understatement.
What conservative acts like such a question is over-the-top offensive? I used to be a liberal. I LOVE to tell the story of my conversion. It makes liberals & liberalism look very, VERY bad. As such, I get a real kick out of relating it at any & every opportunity. Iow, I’m delighted to be asked why I rejected liberalism & embraced conservatism.
Otoh, if I were asked about it & went into an overheated, defensive, snotty-angry tirade...well, people would wonder. & rightly so.
we scrummed one the other night, IIRC. LOL
