Re: [RC] [RC] something fishy - desertrydr1Heck, I can beat that, I have five horses and two mules. All of them have names, but I usually call all the girls "Siss" and the one boy is "Boo-Boo" or "Bubba" My dog(s) and cats get the same thing. Saves having to remember all those names and features. Confuses people a bit tho--"I thought THAT on's name was Sissy" jeri-----Original Message----- From: Soli Sorokin <soliae@xxxxxxxxx> To: Ridecamp <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri, 20 Jul 2007 5:52 am Subject: Re: [RC] [RC] something fishy On 7/19/07, terre <tobytrot@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

I know nothing about the issue at hand, but I can say as the owner of many horses, and rider of even more over the years, I do the same thing. Even my own horses are refered to by their sex, color, and age more often than their names. When talking or working with other people who may not know your horses names, they usually are at least adept at noticing the sex and color. Also, this saves embarrassment when you're asking about other people's horses, because while I can remember color and sex myself, I usually am awful at names. Even my cats that have names are referred to by their sex and color. It's just simpler. It doesn't mean I am any less bonded with them. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
