[beethoven2]

Am I the only person on this forum that likes piano AND horses...or are there more?  I'd really like to know.

i used to have a palomino gelding (way back when i was 16).  he was a sweet horse.  but, he liked to dip his head down and eat grass every chance he got.  i had to literally make him do what i wanted and get him into shape.  otherwise - he'd just eat grass.  he was a retired barrel racer and was good for trail riding. 

i think animals are great to learn from.  i mean- music is about sensitivity.  and horseback riding is quite a sensitive thing too.  you are basically 'one' with the horse.  sort of like playing a piece fully from memory.  you can sense what each other is going to do.  of course, a piano isn't quite that alive - but seems to be at times.

I love riding horseys. are you any good?

Now the next step is to play the piano while riding a horse...

Horses don't even have toes. How can you like them?

No certainly you must be the only person on this planet that likes both horses and pianos.

i love riding horses, even though i've only been able to go once. about 7 or 8 years ago.
it was fun though!

I liked the horse part in the Godfather part 1!

A lot of my younger female piano students like piano and horses.

Horses and Dolphins are smarter than humans.
Right now they are planning an overthrow of the human society.
Man, this will go down in history as 'The Revolution of the beasts'.

I dont think there are so many teen girls on this forum. Except ahinton of course.

 

[pianistimo]

what a strange thing to say, nicco.  i don't recall that he's ever screamed.  but, then, not all teen girls scream.  anyways - he seems a perfectly normal guy - excepting his eccentric likes in music.  and, for the record, ahinton likes animals.  he has two cats.

I'm a teenage girl.
Technically.
