That is funny.

Has Very Hungry ever tried to bite a child? :shock:

Not yet but it is early days. She has only been a lesson horse for a couple of weeks!

I did laugh out loud when I read that running line, how suited to the name I gave her.

Some time ago, I reserved the name 'Hold My Beer' -- When Y'all Watch This retires, I'm going to tag one of her foals with the name.

Lesson horse this morning
Dreamingofschnapps was looking for a little snack during lesson time today and decided that the flower box looked tasty.

The first "Double Dog Dare Ya" - which I bred and named - turned out to be a claimer that declined to "stiff and awkward"; so when I was looking for a name for my Obsidian Fury-Yellowtail colt I struck upon that one since "yellow" is slang for a coward, and how you get someone to do something they don't want to is to dare them (and if you are a fan of A Christmas Story - you 'double dog dare" them) so the name was transferred - and he went and galloped freak.

The fact he even exists at all is because I have enough sim $ to check my productive and below unraced 5yo mares to see if they rate formidable or better and then breed them for at least 2 foals. Yellowtail rated "formidable" - her subsequent foals have been 2 claimers and a productive. (And by the way - Stormy - you have Yellowtail's 1/2 sister Giant Sky in your broodmare barn)

Giant Sky is also a formidable.
I booked her to Obsidian Fury for next year. Just bred her to my other stallion Tuck Everlasting.
I sent her to Mal for her first foal. She hypoed a B+ with all three.

Also, Y'all Watch This...was bred today too.
I sent her to Tuck Everlasting, and I did name the colt "Hold My Beer" He will probably take after his mom, and be a complete, but hopefully funny, disaster on the track:
