Well that definitely falls in the random shit category. I know nothing about horses why buy one there? Just curious.
From what my mother said when I was on the phone with her yesterday, the way the horses and ponies are raised and trained in Ireland is more preferable to her than how they are in the U.S. The animal is five years old. She already owns another horse so I assume this one will be stabled in the same place..

Hope she checked into the quarantine expenses here in the states before she pulled the trigger.

I didn't even think of that. I hope she did. She's got the money for it, fortunately. Any idea how long it has to be quarantined?
Couldn't tell you that. I do know it's months long process and tens of thousands. Horse sales and training are big business around here for over a hundred years.

Same where she is in SE PA. She competes and knows a lot but this is her first international purchase. Hope she did her homework.

Hopefully she knows this show. 170th annual horse and colt show. It's huge and not that far for her.

My guess is she does. We used to live about two miles from the Devon Horse Show. My mom who used to ride as well used to go there with my sister.

Best place for this rant I suppose and not thread worthy.

Wtf happened to T9 on phones? Google can predict and write half my emails. Who decided a full ****ing keyboard on a phone made more sense than 9 buttons?

T9 still isn’t going to predict “**** you” and then it’s like 19 taps instead of 8

After it was phased out the 3rd party I was using learned and would definitely say "**** you".
Usually only needed 1 extra tap from the list of options for things not usually used.
This was like Mortola Droid Era when things were less filtered. Pre-smartphone.

Maybe I'm getting old. Just hate 2 thumb QWERTY.

I turn my phone sideways for no one... besides pornhub. (Jokes)

Have a large phone and even with longer fingers text one hand is a bitch. Feel like a cheerleader "give me an "A""

Found out the horse must be examined first by a vet in Ireland and then gets three days quarantine when it gets stateside.
Had a guy at work get a dog from out of states and it took about 2 weeks before he was released, this was also closer to covid so it might of been a holdover for safety concerns?? Anyhow GL to your sister on a speedy transfer.

I use Samsung's swype function on their keyboard. Pretty nifty for quicker one thumbed typing
