My pictures from the horse show today...

Dee Dee and Hallie · September 03, 2005, 09:09:44 PM

were somehow dominated by pics of Hallie. Now how did that happen? ;) (I was taking photos as reference to paint horses from). I'll see if I can post a few...these are her on the horse race track we jogged around the whole thing she went wild in the sand.

Dee Dee and Hallie · September 03, 2005, 09:10:26 PM

Is it windy out here or is it me?

Dee Dee and Hallie · September 03, 2005, 09:22:57 PM

Hallie is ready to race...but she cant' find any horses. So she calls for them. Then she decides to go looking for them herself.

Dee Dee and Hallie · September 03, 2005, 09:46:02 PM

(mom hopes she isn't going to get in trubble for taking up too much image space :))

1st pic: Can somebody look behind me and tell me if THOSE are horses?

2nd pic: I don't care what they are...I'll race 'em. I'm in my "GET SET" position. All is need is a "GO!"

3rd pic: We might as well go home. We aren't EVER going to see any horses.

(For those of you who don't know me very well...I better add that at no time was Hallie remotely in any danger of horses or bison.) :meme:

Kari · September 04, 2005, 12:29:50 AM

Awesome Pictures Dee Dee!! I wish Penny was as photogenic as Hallie! Looks like she had a lot of fun

Dee Dee and Hallie · September 04, 2005, 01:06:09 AM

Heh, Drew, she was in the middle of a yawn. I love catching yawns on the camera they are always open to good captions!

Hi Roberta! Ha, I love that caption too...where has the water gone. It does look like the beach there. And YES I got 300 pictures of the horses, they were awesome I'll be painting all winter (Hallie and I have been hitting horse and dog shows every weekend to get as many pics as possible before the fall weather hits). Here is one of a Lipizzan stallion. There were lots of warmbloods, Trekhaners, Hanoverians, etc all kinds of sports horses, it was the championships for Dressage in the area so some fancy dancy horses there today. There was a young Oldenburg there I wanted in the worst way but he was a mere $40,000.00 and I didn't have that much on me. LOL. I'll also attach a photo I took a couple of week ago of my cousin's Friesian gelding, Thor. I will definitely be painting this one I just can't come up with a background...

Thanks Kari...Penny is very photogenic! She is sooo cute!!!

OMG!!! The picture of Thor! What a beauty!
Hallie"s pics cracked me up, they are priceless.
Good to have you guys back.

Paula · September 04, 2005, 05:17:28 AM

GREAT photos!!!
Hallie is looking GORGEOUS as usual - good to see you guys!!!

Marcia from MI · September 04, 2005, 05:46:58 AM

Thank you for the Hallie pics. I have missed seeing her. Eddie says that he wants to be part of her next racetrack excursion. How did her last show go? If you need kitty pics let me know the girlz will be more than happy to share their pictures with you.

I love the Royal Lippizans eversince I saw the Disney movie about them. And Thor's picture is fantastic.

Hi DeeDee & Hallie, it's so good to hear from you. Love all the pics of Hallie. She is just so adorable. :bkiss: The horse pics are great. :thumb: Horses are such majestic animals. When my daughter was a teenager we owned a thoroughbred gelding and she loved to compete in dressage. However, as she grew older she spent less and less time with him. We gave him to the riding school, but I will always remember the fun we had with him.

Teresa · September 04, 2005, 11:11:45 AM

I love the new Hallie pictures. :apls: I especially love the way she is cutting her eyes at the camera. It looks like she is making sure that you are getting the picture of her and nothing else!

Roberta · September 04, 2005, 03:08:38 PM

Thor is a stunner, and has a magnificent coat.

Brekkesmom · September 04, 2005, 03:40:21 PM

Love the Lippizaner and Friesian pictures - and thanks for throwing in those rare photos of Hallie!

I also love the one of her yawning!

Brekke here: Auntie Dee! Where did you find the tall white dachsie? I love those things! The brown one was cute, too, but I always notice the white ones! Hi, Hallie! Momma says she's gonna start giving me peanut oil for my coat. Can you use that, or are you allergic? Momma says it'll put shine on me. Somebody told her that! Oh, oh, oh! The third grade teacher next to Momma at school has a b&t smooth dachsie named Frieda Kahlo, and the newest first grade teacher has two red smooths - George and...

Vienna!

Ha! Horses? What horses. All I have eyes for is that lovely fluffy sweet li'l Hallie Berry Butt.

KathyP · September 05, 2005, 07:03:05 AM

Woo Hoo Hallie girl!!!!!!!! How GREAT to see such wonderful photos of you (I still have your Christmas pic on my fridge!)! You look like you were having a fun time running all over the track with the wind blowing your beautiful hair! Oh, and the horses are pretty too...but you take the cake for me, honey girl!
Great pics Dee Dee!! Thanks for sharing!!

Carol · September 05, 2005, 12:27:25 PM

I thought it was so great I had to go catch Penny in a yawn. She even winked when she did it.

Liked it so much it's my new avatar.

Dee Dee and Hallie · September 06, 2005, 10:50:55 AM

Thanks guys, Hallie and I are going to a bunch more horse shows and dog things in the next couple of weeks for pics. I'll post my best shot here of a doberman I took 2 days ago at a Schutzhund practice (where they do the bite work on the sleeves, etc). This dog is actually a real sweetie. And no Hallie doesn't come ANYWHERE near these guys!

LOL LOL Drew...the more you look at that, the funnier it gets. You can just hear her talking, can't you? I can think up dozens of captions. LOL. Good catch with that shot, Penny is a doll!

Marcia, at Hallie's last show, she was on the long down, got an itch so whipped her head around to scratch, when she turned back around she was in a half sit. So that was a flunk! She did lay herself back down but it was too late. That was OK though we go to have fun which we did! Her next thing is she is going to the State Fair to be judged by all the 4-H kids who made it to state, in obedience. That is on the 17th. Tell Eddie Hallie would love to race him around the track anytime!

Brekke, you will have to let us know how the peanut oil works. Hallie takes fish oil but we've never tried peanut. That's cool your mom has a teacher friends with DOXIES!

Shumard4 · September 06, 2005, 02:36:23 PM

Oh Miss Hallie how very pretty you are with your hair blowing in the wind.
