Soccer Ball is on order!

Okay everyone - get ready - I ordered another soccer ball. This time I did it right: I called the place, spoke to a live person, who confirmed that he is alive and best of all they have balls in stock and that they will actually ship product!!! Amazing. The place is called and can be viewed at http://www.naturalhorsetalk.com/horsetoys.html and the friendly gentleman listened to my sob story about my unfortunate attempt to order a soccer ball at horsesoccer.com (I am intentionally not making this a link - because they don't deserve advertisement). It was actually a good thing the horsesoccer people did not send me a ball, because theirs is just like the Parelli ball: They pop!! Thank you HorseSoccer folks for not sending me a ball! And, I have my credit card people dispute the charges!! Ha - you can't do that scam stuff to ME! The gentleman at natural horse talk also confirmed that people told him they cannot get any balls from horsesoccer either...what a mess. Someone report them to better business bureau...but according to my experience with these people, all they will say is: "Phone number does not work - Case closed". I must point out that I tried to call horsesoccer 8 times and evertime it said that their voicemail is full and no message can be left. WHAT A WAY OF DOING BUSINESS: TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN....and evidently without consequences, because they are doing it all the time.

The people at natural horse talk actually designed the ball around their horse, who like to lay on the ball. It has an inner bladder and a cover, so that the horse would get a hold to the cover around it, not the inner bladder. I was also explained on how to properly inflate it. One is to measure the inflation by the outside cover: the inner ball is to fit just inside the cover, when you can barely pick up the seam with your fingers then you know it's done. Well...., we will see how that works out when we get the ball. I expect it here mid next week, coming from Arizona...


I am RRRRRRRRREADY! Bring on dat ball!

Homeward bound

In 62 days I am going home. Home is in Wurzbach, Thueringen, Deutschland.
I have not been back in 4 years. I can already taste the food. In my dreams I am ordering Bratwurst from the Imbissbude (food stand) and buying pastry at the bakery: Fruechtefleckerl, Vollkornbroetchen, Kuchen, Schwarzwaelder Kirschtorte. We will be going out to eat at restaurants: local food as well as Italian, Greek etc. Besides, one of my brothers is a Chef and the other one is a Baker - what more can I desire? Mmmh, I will eat deliciously....and gain weight. Oh, well, I can ride if off, right?
Oh, and yes...I am looking forward to seeing my family too....:-)

What's mine is hers...


It started out real simple, I was upset because I have not receive my Horse Soccer Ball yet. So I decided to fight back. I created a blog... In case you didn't know, I no nothing about computers. So I struggled all day long and added a few grey hairs, But I did it... Yes i know " Good for you". That is not my gripe, my gripe is that my wife saw it

read it

liked it

AND now OWNS IT


Just like a women, Whats hers is hers and whats mine is still hers. A certain blogger that read my blog made a couple of suggestion about how it was set up and adding this and that... BAM!!! My loving wife was right on it. What took me 8 hours to do was all changed in 30 second This is a conspiracy. what happen to women's lib. Now I have to post my gripe on her blog and listen to music i don't like. She is so lucky that I don't have a clue what I am doing, or I would just take it back. I will get even, like leaven the toilet seat up at 2:00am with the lights off and leave the sinks dirty after i shave and if that isn't enough, I got some windy stuff I will leave her under the sheets. This is all wrong...: "I demand my BLOG back " . As soon as I figure out how to do it , IT WILL BE DONE.


Now I am through venting, so let me call my wife so she can tell me how to post this...

Horse Soccer Ball




Has anyone ordered a soccer ball lately? I ordered mine on 7-20, my credit card was charged immediately and today, 5 days later, I still do not have a tracking number, let alone a delivery. I am in Lousiana. It should only be 2 days from Kansas to Louisiana. It's bad business practice to charge a credit card without having shipped product. I hope someone from the HorseSoccer Team reads this because I tried to call but I'm told the mail box is full and no message can be left. I have sent about 4 emails, without response. If I don't hear anything within the next day or so, I will have to recall the charge on my credit card. What is going on here? Any comments?
