About Me
Active within 1 Day
I am from Pearland, TX and I've been a Club Horse member for 4 years, 10 months and 12 days
Nicknames: I have 7 horses: Godiva, Peekaboo, Buttercup, Peach, Princeton, Smooch & Sing. They are all pictured below.
Hershey Kiss= dear poppy, was a true "babysitter". Started all my kid riders. Never bucked, ran or scared any rider. RIP Poppy, 5/3/2012.
Age: 12 years old
Gender: Mare
Breed: Thoroughbred
Height: 15.1 HH
Color: Bay, Solid Paint, Chestnut, Pinto
Type of Riding: We do English, jumping and bareback.
My Horse's Achievements: He was used in the security patrol around Bush Intercontinenta- l Airport when we were on high security alert after 911. They asked for volunteers and I used him and Sing both to patrol the perimeter.
He did one horse show with a 12 yr old rider in hunter/jumper.
My Horse's Favorite Treat: Apples, carrots, cookies, & pony pops are the usual treats.
My Horse's Favorite Things To Do: He loves to "dribble" his red apple toy that is tied in his stall, with his nose.
Pet Peeves: He does not like rain and will duck his head down and run for cover when it's blowing in his face. He's easily spooked by "big foot" the bull that is pastured next door to our property.
My Horse's motto: "The rider should whisper his request and the horse should SHOUT his response."
Jane Savoie
"Light hands,
Strong legs,
Calm mind is what it takes to be a great rider."

How We Met
I rode as a teen, then quit for 25 years. I started up again and began a small riding school part time. I was at the feed store and kept seeing a sale poster for Smooch. The image of his foal picture was stuck in my head! You know how that goes. I soon ended up with him in my barn as a long yearling of 18 months. My intention was to train and sell him. He had such a calm sensible disposition that I began using him as a lesson horse when he was 2..

Hi Susan
GOOD MORNING, please drop by Charlie's page, I posted a picture of his foot, 2 weeks shy of 10 months, lookin' good...We left votes for everyone too, thank you
You guys are really good, a couple of you asked about her saddle fit, before we even got Dr. Cook involved, we had a saddle fitter take a look, he was satisfied that we had a good fit, on palpation of her spine she showed no tenderness. So here we are at the Hospital, the referral was made and Dr. Cook had sent a history and asked for xrays. I have to say the day was very long, but incredibly interesting, I was warned ahead of time that this is a teaching Hospital,so this would not be a quick in and out visit. Sterl was assigned Dr's in charge of her case and then there were what seemed like a million students at varying levels all hovering around my girl. Every square inch of her was gone over, and a million questions were asked. How nice to spend a whole day talking about your horse and everyone HAS to listen. They told me they would gather all their info and a report would be sent to Dr. Cook. They did absolutely everything except watch me ride her. When they lounged her, she actually moved pretty good, I think it was adrenaline 'cause this was exciting for her too, in the end her assigned Dr's said they saw NO need to xray her spine. Those of you that know me,even a little know that I am non assertive, but, be proud of me, I became like a Mamma bear with her cubs, I said "do you know Dr. Cook? he sent us here for xrays, do you have any idea how hard it was to get here today? we are not leaving without xrays" So, they took our xrays, she needed some sedation because these needed to be very accurate, we waited until the films were ready, they were brought to a large viewing screen and all the Dr's and students that had been with us all day were gathered for the reading. TO BE CONTINUED, LOVE DONNA LEE & STERLY GIRLYCome visit me, Sterl May````June HOTM PLEASE````, Angel Sassy Mac```VOTE STERL MAY HOTM``` & Royal Mes``VOTE STERL MAY HOTM```.

Fancy and I enjoyed a cloudy evening! We were overdue for this show practice and time just hanging out. Fancy did not fret for Trigger one bit, even though Trigger screamed murder every time we got out of his sight. We are expecting rains and clouds all week. But the weekend may be nice. We will try to practice a little each day. It was so much fun! And today was the first day Fancy was ridden since her heel injury. She was great. Like she never missed a beat. I am glad I did not rush her.

Hi Sing & Herd, here's a vote for ya. Got a super nice ride on Pagie today, used her show bit, haven't had it in her mouth for like two weeks now, she really sets that head and stays in it. Then lunged Indy and did some shwomanship work with him. Then the fun job, de-furing Bullseye, he really needs his body clip, but we haven't had warm enough weather to give him a good bath first. I would ruin two, not one pair of clipper blades doing him! Plus with the nights going down into the 40's and the barn dropping down under 60 degrees, I don't want him to get chilled. Rained on and off all day. So then I spent the day in the house with Harley dog! Love ya, Marion and the blondies. Come visit me, Nuttin But Good. Thanks for 3100 Whiskey & Deacon, R.I.P.

Not sure how I came up with Kingston! It is "Kingwood". It's north Houston. East of Porter & Humble. Does that area sound fimliar? I know your South of Houston so it is probably a good ways around to that point! ✞ Cliff finished putting up the barbless wire on turn out #3 yesterday. Will hang gate and add hot wire this morning. When I get off work today we will introduce the herd to it! Scaredy pants Deacon will not want to go to the back end of it because there is a tank and it is surrounded by lots of trees and bush! We haven’t fenced it yet. We will fence tank area next fall. Deacon (with his alpha self) knows coyote’s go down there sometimes so he is always Leary and high headed when I ride around that area. I will work with him on that. Have a wonderful day!

you're up early or late???
GOOD MORNING, LEFT A THANK YOU VOTE, So, let's get right to it. On routine exam all her vitals where good, she, of course appeared healthy, she had regular vacs, wormings and her teeth were good. We drew blood for a complete work up, all neg, with nothing obvious we started the slow process of ruling out, one by one the possibilities. I mean slow because in order to not get confused we needed to give each treatment time to test effects, does that make sense?? Being a Mare, almost 15 and never bred, we wanted to rule out ovary issues first, I was happy and relived when the physical exam and the internal ultrasound was negative, we then went at the simple stuff like corrective shoeing, we tried a course of Regumate and a series of Prostoglandn injection, we tested for neurological issues, we looked at eye issues, double checked teeth and throat, there was no obvious tenderness in her back muscles, however she lounged better than under saddle. Thru all the testing, which took weeks, I still rode her and acted like everything was fine. When Dr. Cook was satisfied that we had ruled out EVERYTHING, he said he needed some very accurate xrays of her spine, he needed us to go to the Equine Hospital in Guelph. He called to make her appointment and I asked Val(our coach) to trailer us up there, and on Jan 15/98 in on of the worst snow storms ever off we went. TO BE CONTINUED. Have a great day, Love Donna Lee & STERLY GIRLYCome visit me, Sterl May````June HOTM PLEASE````, Angel Sassy Mac```VOTE STERL MAY HOTM``` & Royal Mes``VOTE STERL MAY HOTM```.

Awww, great photos, it is certainly a lovely occasion when great friends get together.
I planned on working with Fancy today, but the rains came in. She has shed her winter duds and she is slick and shinny. I guess I will get new photos after she has a bath. Trigger is slick and shinny too.
Mother's day the neighborhood kids came to visit Fancy and Trigger. The children gave them treats and pulled grass. Trigger is still quite aloof. I wonder if anyone ever gave him treats before we got him. He acts like they just rode him hard and put him up wet. Once you catch him, he is so sweet though.

Voted- It is too funny about your little rider hitting the pooh pooh pile. If there was only 1 pile in a huge pasture I would hit it for sure. One time I feel off my old mare and had my pager on my hip and that is where I hit. Oh wow it hurt and I had the blackest painful bruise on the side of my hip for weeks. I don't carry the phone on my hip anymore, I do learn, ha ha. Had horse show today and Zuni placed 1st and 2nd in her classes. Have a good day tomorrow Come visit me, Zuni Silver Pueblo- Happy 3rd Birthday 5/6/2013.

Hi & a Vote,
We had a great riding day today. I rode Rocky and my friend's sister rode Cowboy while she rode her buckskin. It was so much fun and she loved Cowboy. She hadn't ridden in a few years since the other horse her sister had died at 24. He was the one she rode when she visited since he was Mr. Dependable, so now Cowboy is taking up the slack. Good boy!Come visit me, Rocky (the blue-eyed wonder horse), Comet (the jumping bean) & Cowboy (the New Boy in Town).

Hi Sing & Herd, here's a vote for ya. That was so awesome that you got to finally meet up with Joey and her sister! Love the pictures of all. Maybe you'll be able to set up side riding time together also. That would be really great! Well I got my ride in on Paige and a couple of outside things done before the rains came in! And from the looks of the weather reports, right straight thru till next weekend! HUH! But my ride was great on Paige. Then I went to a BBQ for a little while, came home and spread some Magnesium chorlide flakes in the indoor arena to keep the dust down. Haven't put any down in a year now, it needed it. Just used 100 pounds for now on the really dry dusty areas. To wet and crummy out to turn the show kids out! Hot house flowers they are. So gave them lunch of a couple of flakes of hay, they were happy about that! Easy to please! LOL! Love ya, Marion and the blondies. Come visit me, Nuttin But Good.

I did pretty good picking out the horses from pictures I have seen on HC. I did get Peach & Butter cup mixed up, Susan's little student corrected me:)Susan has a great place and wonderful horses. A couple of the pics are upside down which I corrected in documents but I guess I didn't!!! I'll work on that. Hope you are having a great weekend...Thanks Susan:) Come visit me, Ginger Congrats Fancy May HOTM & Angel Betsy Plz vote Sterl May and Rose June HOTM.

I am soooo happy she has gained a little weight!!! WooHoo! ♥♡♥ Yep, grey skies changed my plans yesterday morning! I did spring cleaning till nearly 12:00! I ate lunch, and then brushed Deacon and Rocket-fly sprayed and turned them out. I got Whiskey next and bathed him! He looked so pretty...after that I was tired, plum pooped!! So I relaxed and watched them graze. It will be a few days before I can ride around my home area due to the rains! Come visit me, ♥ Whiskey ♥ turnout #3 & ♥ Deacon ♥turnout #2 w Cliff.

Hi Susan
GOOD MORNING, LEFT VOTES FOR ALL, TO THANK YOU FOR YOURS. This is where Sterly's story takes a bit of a twist. FF almost 4 years, we are still at the boarding barn, Sonya is now in University, I still ride 4x a week. I started to notice a slight hesitation from Sterl that was new, she did not want to go forward, at first it was mild, and I could push her thru it, but it got worse. She would actually do a small buck and a very tiny rear when I asked for forward. This was so out of character for her, but ever her resistance was polite, like she was trying to get my attention, she did. Believe me when I say there were lots of suggestion from folks that observed us, most thought that it was behavior and that I was not strong enough and I was letting her get away with it, one woman told me I had to beat her hard enough to make a welt on her skin, that would smarten her up!!!. I chose to call Dr. Cook, I explained the situation and we made arrangements for him to come and see her, I asked if it could be "just" behavior, he said "whenever a horse that was happy with its work begins to resist, they are trying to tell you something is wrong", in the meantime carry on as normal, act like everything is fine TO BE CONTINUED, Talk soon, love Donna Lee & STERLY GIRLYCome visit me, Sterl May````June HOTM PLEASE````, Angel Sassy Mac```VOTE STERL MAY HOTM``` & Royal Mes``VOTE STERL MAY HOTM```.

Hi Sing & Herd, here's a vote for ya. Glad that Peek put a few pounds on. That's good. I guess you finding the distances on jumps is like us finding the strides for lope overs and jog overs in trail class. Yes, my mom had a wringer machine when I was a very young girl. I used to watch her work it in the basement where I grew up. They don't even have parts for my machines anymore! Too old! Hoping that the one I took from Dad's house when I sold it is still good. It was bran new then. But it's been sitting in my garage for almost 4 years now! Had an awesome ride on Paige today. I even put a neck rope on her and gave the reins a lot of slack, like I don't ride that way anyhow! The grabbed the neck rope and worked her. She did well, not perfect, but good. Got a little faster at the lope and jog than what she's trained to do, but I didn't put a lot of leg on her either, I know Karen would have her going better like that. But I'll work on it once a week. Had them out this afternoon in the warm sun. Mowed another pasture, now I can't start all over again tomorrow with the lawn and follow with the pastures! LOL!

Hi Susan
GOOD MORNING MY FRIENDS,I would like to continue with Sterl May's story, thanks for reading them and commenting on them, because she is 30 and retired, it is also fun for me to remember the early years. THANKS FOR THE VOTES AND SUPPORT. All was well at the barn, Sterly's retraining was in full swing, I still leased Fool Kat, so I was a pretty busy girl, 2 horses to ride 4x a week and the barn was 40 minutes from home, a full time job, a house and husband to take care of plus 4 cats and a dog(Nicky) that I did agility with. The young couple that owned Fool Kat were pregnant and building a new house, they had no time for her but, did not want to let her go. So I was a perfect solution for them. Unfortunately, the baby arrived and the house was ready and they were ready to take her home. I had leased her for almost 2 years, I had Sterly but still it was a sad good by. Fool Kat was 23 when I started her lease, I kept in touch after they moved her home, she was basically a pet, she died quietly at 32. TALK SOON, LOVE DONNA LEE AND STERLY GIRLYCome visit me, Sterl May````June HOTM PLEASE````, Angel Sassy Mac```VOTE STERL MAY HOTM``` & Royal Mes``VOTE STERL MAY HOTM```.

Had some Sadie time today. We both need it everyday. It's getting hot here, so I didn't ride. I put the halter on her and walked her off the property. She was a little nervous, so we took it slow, stopping when she needed to to look around and see that she was okay. Neighborhood dogs were barking at us. She walked a little fast on the way back to the house. Had to keep stopping her to slow her down. She loved it. Going to walk her more often to get her use going off the property. Going to work up to riding her. Last time I rode her off the property, she was nervous and wanted to fight me. She should trust me more now. Hugs and a vote.

Hi Sing & Herd, here's a vote for ya. Well hopefully that manura pile made for a soft landing! Poor kid! Bet she smelled good in mom's car on the way home! Had a really good ride on Paige today. Needed it, started the day off with my washing machine taking a dump on me. I think this time it's a gonner! It's almost 35 years old, what'a ya think? Of course it was full of laundry and water, had to try and hand ring things out, bring them upstairs and handwash in the kitchen sink. Not my idea of fun! But the weather was beautiful, hit 82 with sunshine and I got a lot done outside too! Love ya, Marion and the blondies. Come visit me, Nuttin But Good. Thanks for 3100 Whiskey & Deacon, R.I.P.

HI, left a vote. Posted two more pics of Amber today, one in black and white, and the other with my headstall that I think looks great on her.
Got to ride Amber today. Had to ride in Tasha's saddle as I forgot mine today. LOL I got on, realized that the stirrups were way to long, but I am lazy today, so I just rode in the saddle just didn't use the stirrups. Amber walked right by the spooky spot from Tuesday with out an issue today! No one was out there today, so the mounting block I use, was left in the middle of the arena. As we are coming out of the turn in one end of the arena, Amber sees the mounting block in the middle of the arena, and snorts at it, and then jumps to the side! Silly Amber, I just used that block to mount, and now you are like what is that!? Too funny. So again, like the other day, I just bent her head around to a stop. Then we walked off, just stayed to the outer part of the arena, when she relaxed I then started to circle the block, at a walk, each time getting a little closer to it. After three circles, she then was like hey, we are close to that block, jump to the side! I got her to stop, looking at it straight on, just made her stand there, she snorted, but stood there, then I asked her to take a couple of steps towards it, she did, snorted, I stopped her, stood there again looking at it, repeated that step again, we are now about 10 feet from it, I ask her to walk towards it, she did, she walked right up to it, sniffed it, then used it to scratch her face with! That took a whole of 5 min to do. We then walked off, and she was ok with it the rest of the ride. I then told her, "Ok Amber, legs are hurting time to end the ride", she then walked right over to the mounting block and stopped! Awesome! It felt great to accomplish something else with her today, only our 5th ride.Come visit me, Toby & Amber.

Great Picture Susan...
GOOD MORNING, here it is day 16 already. WE LEFT A VOTE FOR YOU, and a big thanks for the wonderful support. Being a pretty new horse owner, I had sort of thought once I get the first year under my belt, I'd be good to go....Silly me, aren't we ALWAYS learning from them. One thing is for sure, if all horses were like STERL MAY, everyone would have a horse. By now she is pretty much the "sweetheart" of the barn. The owners loved her 'cause she was easy to handle, never caused a fuss and I was there regularly(every chance I had). One morning, Sterl was in the aisle cross ties, I was grooming her and Margaret was touring a new prospective boarder, they got to us and Margaret says "this is Sterl May, she is Standardbred, this horse jumps" as they walked past, I heard the guy say "nice butt!!!" HEY,he was talking about the horse. LOVE DONNA LEE & STERLY GIRLYCome visit me, Sterl May````June HOTM PLEASE````, Angel Sassy Mac```VOTE STERL MAY HOTM``` & Royal Mes``VOTE STERL MAY HOTM```.
