Ojo de Tigre

Hi, Been pushed in the direction of the forum by my OH (Grumpy Badger) I think its a cunning plan to get me to browse the for sale section before his Birthday! Subtle, subtle!

I'm rather coveting a Root Beer so much so that my foal is named "Ojo de Tigre" in its honour (Tiger Eye) maybe when he leaves for his new home in September I can splash out!!

Welcome to TRF. Have heard that you're quite a photographer. Looking forward to your contributions to the forum.

Ohhh, how I hate to be predictable!!!

I'd say Mosco or DavidSW would be the best men to talk to about the AP15300 if you're ever feeling generous and Steelerfan could help you out if you ever feel REALLY generous and fancy getting me a MilSub!

A very warm welcome to TRF LHG, your positioning of your right hand when saluting leaves a lot to be desired though.

Plus she'd need a few Kirby Grips!!!

At least the beret doesn't look like a furry helicopter landing pad!

Laura, I loved the tribute photo of the "Appeal to the Great Spirit" you and Mark did, I'm a Bostonian and the original is something I see very often driving by the MFA. Welcome welcome welcome!!

BTW Mark, if the LHG likes watches, sharing with her will make it easier to add new pieces to the fold!

I still only have to think about that day and I laugh, stallion unridden in about ten years, blundering of across a ditch, brutal cold wind, couldn't help for giggling. We need to think of another one to do!

It's great to have you here, Laura! Welcome.

I can think of nothing better than a double root beer/15300 incoming to mark the occasion.
