I hope y'all have your popcorn ready for this afternoon. Looking forward to watching the Yellowjackets sink the Commodores. Go Jackets!!

I had the goal of posting all of Centerfield before 2024 came to a close and I made it. It didn't happen without a few glitches though. I managed to double post a chapter, realize I'd left a chapter out of Feasting With a Silver Spoon, posted a blank chapter, and probably a half dozen other issues. Thanks for your patience. All of those problems have been corrected.
If you enjoyed it, despite the glitches, send me a note or vote.
I'm working on "Tourist Season" and hope to have it finished and begin posting in early Spring. We'll see how that goes.

Merry Christmas to all
(Die Hard is a Christmas movie - in case you didn't know)

I've had experience with Mustangs, American Quarterhorses, Arabians, Frisians, Thoroughbreds, Saddlebreds, Boerperds, Morgans, Paints, and a few others but never a gaited horse. We picked up a Tennessee Walking horse recently and I've only ridden him once. Does anyone have experience with a TWH? I'd be curious to hear your impressions, especially if you're coming from a Mustang, Paint, or Quarterhorse background.
This big guy is as sweet as they come and "in your pocket" as they say. Riding him is so totally different.
Let me know if you have experience with a TWH, and if you don't tell me your favorite breed.

If you've been reading along and don't remember the "rodeo chapter" it's because I double posted chapter 20 for about a week by mistake. It's been corrected. Rodeo and triathlon beginnings were highlights of the chapter.

If you're an equestrian, I'd like to hear from you.

I've ridden Arabians, Warmbloods, Standardbreds, Paint, Appaloosa, Friesan, Mustang, Tennessee Walker, and Boerperds. I'm sure there are others. I have a couple of favorites. I'm curious as to your favorite, and why. Anyone ride an Icelandic Pony?

I rode an couple of horses yesterday that were breeds I hadn't ridden in quite some time. I love the variety and know that the individual is more important than the breed in many cases.

What's your experience? If you've never ridden, what's your favorite TV or movie horse, or even favorite horse movie?
