      Ah, “The greatest comeback since Lazarus” was one of Tom Durkin’s best calls! Glad Da Hoss had a nice long retirement at the Kentucky Horse Park where they obviously loved him and took such great care of him. He was quite a horse. RIP Da Hoss, beautiful one. Condolences to all who loved this champion.

    I was greatly saddened to hear about Da Hoss RIP. but was very glad to hear about Shinny. I was needing a bit of good news as I’ve been a bit bummed the last couple days as a little beagle dog got him by a snow plow and was thrown over into our yard. In the seven years plus the little bit of this one, that makes 3 dogs and a little fawn that have been claimed by this darn road we live on. On a happier note, we’re getting our driveway cleared tomorrow so perhaps we can get out to the store. I hope everyone’s New Year is starting out a little better.

    Happy Friday everyone!
    As will be clear from the title, our boy Hovis doesn’t see any need for self-improvement, but he has numerous suggestions for the mothership (what a surprise ???).

    https://secure.horseandhound.co.uk/blog/hovis-friday-diary-all-this-new-year-new-me-stuff-is-a-waste-of-time-773754

    Hope everyone is safe and well given the numerous batches of bad weather across the country! That mess in Virginia was just epic!! The wind direction initially gave Buffalo a boatload of “lake effect” snow too, and now it’s here along the north coast. We’ve escaped up until now, which is good, of course, but that was then, this is now ❄️⛄️❄️

    Stay safe everyone M

    Have not kept up. Managed to catch a cold. Too bad there is no vaccine for that.

    Unfortunately, there was at least one fatality from the fire. Do not think they have a cause yet.

    Hi Zsters!
    Just an fyi…a new book by James Patterson and Mike Lupica is coming out today. It’s called The Horsewoman.

    As most-read know, James Patterson is a crime novelist whose books are pretty gritty, but he does occasionally write “regular” novels. This appears to be one of the regular ones.

    Mike Lupica is a very well-respected sports reporter and a novelist himself.

    Here’s a synopsis that I read: Maggie Atwood and Becky McCabe – mother and daughter, both champion riders – vowed to never, ever, compete against one another.

    But a dramatic turn of events ahead of the Paris Olympics changes everything.

    Mother and daughter share a dream: to be the best in the world. Only one rider can fulfill that dream and make history.

    Hug, hugs, Cheryl

    HM! I’ve tried twice now to send something. Maybe the third time is a charm. Maybe I’m just a bit excited. Traveling Tiger now has a gorgeous little filly. If you go to Foal Patrol.5.com you might even be able to see this little one being born. Spanish Bunny is next up. Her tentative foaling date is 02/02/2022. May everyone have a lovely night with many sweet dreams of more little ones.

    Happy Friday everyone!
    Hovey fears that his vacation from “working” is coming to an end in the near future so he’s getting in as much munching and schmoozing as possible. I’m sure he will have a lot to say (if his mother is cleared by her PT . . or not . .. .).

      Seems everybody can get snow except the NC piedmont! We are to have a half-dozen snowflakes and then freezing rain with high winds. You know what that means — high probability of power outages. Give me snow anytime! Sunday afternoon and evening will bring rain. Very dismal.
