"I'm talking about what people perceive, not about what's real."

I had sent out the below resume to a training stable a couple of weeks ago, and didn't receive a response. I then remembered the quote on October 13 from a seasoned trouper from across the water, which I have used as a header. No way do I want to be a "soft target." I couldn't believe after 34 years I had forgotten the "circus mantra" for success, so I immediately sent the above recent photo of myself to the aforementioned training stable yesterday. I am waiting to hear back, so wish me luck.

Jody - Somehow I knew you would find a use for this guy (the one in the picture, not Mr. Burck). After all, you're only as old as the men you feel.

John,
You see Mate, I'm about fair play. Even if I just gave your Queens calvary a bit of a clout and you feel the need to give me a hiding. LOL
That is a heck of a festival lineup in Italy as Raffaele mentions. Are you able to make any of them?

It's Frickin Freezing here this morning. Had to knock ice off water troughs with the elephant hook Harry Locker gave me.. And my help hasn't shown up yet.......Where is he WADE???/

Jody - Ice? In Texas? Come on back to good ol' Lake County. The snow is almost deep enough for Wade to snorkel in and we are having a heat wave - it's up to 29 degrees this morning.

Jeannie,
When people used to ask me why I lived in Illinois, I told them, "because it's further south, and is warmer then North Dakota."

Jeannie,
No thank you. I left there in 81 to get away from the cold..
Either I need to cut back on horses or I need to go somewhere else where the temp stays above 75.
The older I get the thinner my blood gets....

Wade - That's true, it is warmer and further south. Personally, I like the variety of seasons and I'm looking forward to moving to New Hampshire, where the weather is the same and not as many people.
