Roamin' the tracks. Don't know about ya'll, but they scare me more than the armed policemen do. Not that I've ever had anything in my pockets to "worry" about.

Seems to me the horses are as polite as anybody at the grounds and never seem to bother anybody. In fact, there is one speckled gray NOPD horse that dances, yeah, I tell ya, that horse DANCES out there on the track. Too cool! Somebody told it was just dressage moves, but I say dressage, schmessage, he's rockin' to the music out there.

Being a Kentucky boy, raised in the Lexington Bluegrass, I have noticed the beautiful mounts that the NOPD use. Funny story...3 years ago at Jazz Fest there was a Black Police Officer on a spectacular gray horse near the pisser I was using. When I approached the horse my buddy asked what his name was. The cop replied "Traveller". My buddy and I looked at the cop trying to figure out if this was a joke. Only in New Orleans will you find a black cop riding a horse named after Gen. Robert E. Lee's famed mare. Gen Lee would be proud.

Let me take a stab at this one, I think I can answer very well. There is nothing to worry about from the horses around the track. Most of the people who live in these horses are very nice people, some of them don't have a lot of money, others have very much money. In any case, if you talk to them in a friendly manner, you will find that they are very much like you and I, nothing to be afraid of. Some people I have known before this year have rented these horses during the Jazzfest, and found the accomodations satisfactory, especially because of the convenience of being so close by!

Do the Big-Ass Horses run faster? Guess I'll have to check out the post parade before making my Derby wager.

The HUGE gray horse that dances is awesome. Every mounted officer I have spoken with has been curteous and friendly. Considering that people have tried to burn the horses with cigarettes, maybe they should be aware of the humans.

I'm thinking of selling my horse in Flagstaff and moving to NOLA. Are horse prices there reasonable? What neighborhoods are nice?

Well, big ass horses will tend to more expensive but compare very favorably to big ass horse prices in similar metropolitan areas across the US. Bear in mind that the NOLA climate is very harsh on horses, big ass or otherwise, and therefore upkeep tends to be a significant cost factor.

It's interesting that many of the NOPD EQ mounts are bred and trained at Angola, by expert inmates. Most are thorougbreds crossed with ancient warhorse bloodlines (Percheron and Morgan stock)...
Big asses are a favorite in Louisiana...

I've been called a big ass, a real ass, a horses ass, and a tight-ass. I like a nice ass. Nobody rides for free.

My grandpap always said," never buy a sharp-assed hog". Guess it applies to a whole lot more than pork.

On Christmas morning a cop on horseback is sitting at a traffic light, and next to him is a kid on his shiny new bike. The cop says to the kid, "Nice bike you got there. Did Santa bring that to you?" The Kid says, "Yeah." The cop says, "Well, next year tell Santa to put a tail-light on that bike." The cop then proceeds to issue the kid a $20.00 bicycle safety violation ticket. The kid takes the ticket and before he rides off says, "By the way, that's a nice horse you got there. Did Santa bring that to you?" Humouring the kid, the cop says, "Yeah, he sure did." The kid says, "Well, next year tell Santa to put the dick underneath the horse, instead of on top."

A woman had taken her 7-year -old daughter to Lexington to the Kentucky Derby. They went on tour of one of the famous horse farms there. Off in one of the paddocks, the little girl notices a stallion and a mare in the act of breeding......The girl asks her mom, "Mommy, what are those two horses doing out there?"....The mom felt a little nervous about going into the facts of life at that point, so she replies," Well, honey, you see that one horse broke its leg and the other one is trying to help it get back to the barn." .....The little girl sadly shakes her head and says,"See, Mommy; you try to help someone and you get screwed everytime!"

Bump for Headless Hornman and Jada :)

[VWGal]

This was in the early days of lurking for me. You can imagine the look on my face when I read this thread, the Jazzfest poles, and of course "none". I knew I had come home!

[funkkjunkie]

I am roflmao. The horse pix of late would go great on this thread. I do miss being able to tell when a post was made. Clarification:The TH name above the dotted line made the post below the line.

Thanks baybee! Funny, I was looking at my post total on that thread...it's the year I was born.

[Jada]

Oops, nevermind. I was looking at the total above me. I don't think it's possible that I was born in 1230. LOL!

Jada: I wonder what the #1 song was on THAT birthday!!

Something by Tony Bennett.;)

[MzJoey]

...that great song about the plague! (too early though I think....not big on world history in 1200's)

[jumbalaya]

That was a classic. Where's the "none" thread?

[Amyloves...]

OMG I loved that thread....montana's post was hilarious! The "Jazzfest Poles" was another favorite of mine.

Thanks! I remember BAHs being mentioned on the old board but I never saw the original thread.

That photo was taken by my business partner's mother. He described it to me but I was still amazed--"put that on the scanner before you return it."

[breambob]

Radar, tall and a big ass too.

Another tall-ass horse:

http://knoxnews.com/news/2007/jul/19/neighborly-effort/

But does tall-ass = big-ass? An important question.

[Corona]

not necessarily Bream....but since it's a front-end shot, I'll say...sure, that is one big-ass horse!!!! :)

[NYMAMA]

Wow she is beautiful!

[breambob]

Here's another picture of Tina. She's cute, she's tall. But she has a boney ass....
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but definatetely not a big-ass horse. And you know how I feel about these matters.

This one always cracked me UP!

[VWGal]

This was in the early days of lurking for me. You can imagine the look on my face when I read this thread, the Jazzfest poles, and of course "none". I knew I had come home!

Well, three or so years later, I still love the big ass horses, and hope to move into one very soon!

And I miss the Poles too. God Bless Mac...

I wish there was a way to link to the old bored; there were a lot of great memories back there.

If I remember correctly, there is a threadhead who downloaded a great deal of what was on the old board and his name is Breambob. Perhaps when he is back to his self he could enhance what is posted on the archive.

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]
