        @seekjustice Yeah. I think I heard we beat the last record, though I would have to double check.


        @jenwriter17
        What was your sentence?


        @rochellaine
        I think we could just share one. *shrug*

        I got 146.
        My sentence… hmmmm…

        Her legs felt like iron beams cemented into the ground as the moss and dirt fell off the dragon rising from its slumber.

        I realize I could word that better now…

          Guess what? I got 269. Without eating pizza.

          I’m sort of stuck on the details of capturing brumbies though. Exactly how one does it with a horse and no helicopter.

          By the way, Jen. Since you are an American horsie person, what does the word colt mean? You seem to use it in a different way to we do.

              @catwing @rochellaine @seekjustice

              oh yeah, my sentence…

              I didn’t know if we were doing our favorite sentence or the last sentence we wrote, so i’m just putting here the last sentence I wrote: Vega twisted one of her box braids around her finger. 

              I know, gripping isn’t it? 😛


              @catwing
              I like your sentence 🙂

                And I’m pretty sure I have no interesting sentences, but this one…

                This brumby was one of a highly sought after colouring–not quite pure white, but not cream or golden either.

                …is a reference to one of my favourite childhood books, The Silver Brumby.

                  @jenwriter17 I chose favorite. My last was…

                    We use the word colt for a male horse that hasn’t reached adult age yet.

                      @catwing I think I like the idea of choosing our favorite sentences better 😉

                        @seekjustice I’m an American horse person… And an American cat person… 🙁 ( 😛 )
                        Foal – Baby horse under one year (I think it’s one year)
                        Filly – Female foal
                        Colt – Male foal
                        But some people are named Colt. 🙂

                          @catwing Okay, my sentences were all pretty short in the last section I wrote, so I’m going to give two that go together:

                          “We have not killed your brother, girl.  We speak the truth.”

                            Righto. The things I was reading seemed to indicate it meant more generally a horse that hadn’t reached mature age. Here it very specifically means a horse between 1-4. Younger than 1 is a foal, and a female is a filly. I’ve never really seen any Americans use those terms though, which was why I was a little confused.

                              But some people are named Colt.

                              😛 And my first thought was “Some guns are called Colt”

                              If we’re doing last sentences, then mine was pretty boring too.  It was

                              And then Yishay had been there to meet her.

                              😀

                                @seekjustice Okay. I double checked and…
                                They are called a filly or Colt until over three years of age. But at one year they are yearlings, instead of foals apparently.

                                  @seekjustice I think all those terms are a little confusing for some people (including me, tbh 😛 ), and I don’t think all horse books get it right anyway, so maybe that’s why Americans don’t use the terms that often. 🙂
