Life as of late hasn't slowed down much. If anything it's gotten busier. Now normally, I'm a fairly lazy person. I would rather relax, chill with the horses, sleep, ah sleep. That's a strange concept as of late. I've lost 2 employees in less then a week, so someone has to make up the difference. Guess who got elected? LOL Oh well. At least I know that whatever needs to be done is getting

On the 4th, there was the "typical" local celebrations, food, fun and fireworks. Each nyear at night, I make sure I'm home. So that If and when the horses freak out and bust through the fence, I can catch them and settle them down. This 4th was no exception. I was home. Fireworks were let off, the horses didn't freak to badly, a little running around and such, but not much fan fair all in

Cotie Loves Gregory. Everytime Gregory is around him, he has eyes only for Gregory. Cotie was scratching Gregory's head, so that made Gregory laugh, which made Cotie do it more. They were quite the pair the other day.

They were outside enjoying a rather beautiful (if not blazingly hot) day.Collin took it upon himself to play in a mud puddle, while Gregory favored the pool. They were so cute playing that day.While Hannah contented herself playing with bubbles and in the pool, the boys were hamming it up doing their own thing. It amazes me

I had been pulling Zelda in before anyone else so she could "take her time" and not feel rushed and putting her in her own enclosed area. A lot of good That did. First time she choked, it was on hay alone. Dislodged that, but evidently left her throat irritated. Second time, she choked on pelleted grain. Such fun! Not, called the vet out for that one. This time, it was sweet feed and one

Typically, here in Va, at least the area that I live in, we don't see a tornado, and certainly not one of any kind of significance. That is until today.

David (son) didn't want to get up and help Rob. It was later in the morning, like around 11. Is that technically still in the "morning"? Anyway, Rob grew impatient and decided to take drastic measures.First it was nice, Hey David, wake up, gotta get to work. Second attempt - same, still no response.

Gregory was helping build "his" Zelda a new run. We decided because she's on the meds for so long and she can't have the typical hay, we made an area just for her that runs along most of the pastures so she can still feel apart of the group, but be seperated. He was cute. He tried to help untangle some of the electric tape that was pretty tangled up. Gregory had started picking grass to give

When you went to where ever your horses are and you notice that your herd has increased? It appears that someone has purposely put the horses in with your own. Who would you notify? And what if this was something that was becoming common place? There's no room in any of the local shelters or they don't have the facilities for abandoned horses? Would you assume thier care? What would you do?

So please excuse the muck.Cotie weighs in now at 969 lbs and is somewhere around 15hh. I'd like to see him bulked up a bit and of course fully shed out.

I was accused of being "proud" of my horse Cotie once. Ya know, I have to agree, after much deliberation and thought, I admit, yes I am proud. Cotie came here when he wasn't quite 4 months old, he got shipping sickness shortly after he arrived that quickly turned into full blown pneumonia. Fast forward to about his 2ND yr. I decided to sell him to someone who really wanted him to service her own

I met an interesting person. Someone that I know I've seen before, but never had the opportunity to talk to. She ended up with a horse that is in her words, "Sorry shape", enough so that she's flaming mad about how poor he is. He has rain rot, skinny and of course blowing his winter coat. So he looks worse then he actually is I'm sure. However, she said she could feel every rib.I felt bad for her

The storms had taken out all but one strand of my fence, so, I had to fix that. Then we decided to block off part of the front pasture to allow some grass to grow. But while I was at it, I thought, well now is as good of a time as any to build seperate pens. One to allow each horse to eat without the fear that someone else is going to steal their grain, and two, so the one's that aren't used

It may have been storming inside, but it was storming outside as well. The first storm that came through two days ago, decided to take out the fence that keeps Cotie in. There was a good 10 foot section that was knocked out, took out the stock fencing as well as the hot tape. Well, I found it that night after I got home from work. The tree was fairly substantial. Thankfully Cotie didn't

Such a cute little boy. He's getting his first tooth already, is trying to sit up and is cooing to get attention. He had his first real laugh 2 days ago. He's so much fun! All but when he's screaming at the top of his lungs for that bottle! He weighs about 15 lbs now.

Meet Zelda. She's about 36 yrs old now if not older. We acquired Zelda in 1991, July 4th to be exact. On July 5th, the vet estimated her age to be a minimum of 19 yrs old. Probably closer to her mid 20's. So an exact age for Zel isn't possible. Notice all the white coming out under her forelock. Under her mane there's a lot of white also.

Cassie is 15 hh flat, CC is 14.2, Elly is almost the same height as CC. CC of course has had longer to fill out and elongate, but between the two (CC and Elly) Elly will be a stockier and bulkier horse. I think she will be as bulky as Cassie is if not

Aka Dolly. This was taken on the 8th of Jan. She'll be 21 this year. I was told that horses tend to mellow and slow down by the time they hit 10 to 15 yrs old. I would like to know who forgot to give Dolly the memo. (Must have been me :P)She loves to compete and has what one would call an inordinate amount of Go. On the trail, she's hyper. At a show, it's a completely different story,

Which it's doing right now also. Once we get some decent snow on the ground, IF we get it that is, I'll take a picture. So far it's not sticking, but, if it does, I'll be sure to ad a pic or two. On the 15th, Sabrina wanted to take me to get my hair highlighted. It was her birthday present to me. :D While we were there, it snowed some huge flakes. It didn't stick, but it was cool none

One Pissy Shasta. She was a bit perturbed that she had to share the attention everyone was receiving. You would think she's ignored on a constant basis. Not! She probably gets more attention then any of the other foals out there, only because she Demands it! Look out Amy cause she's going to be a pisser. Feel like ignoring her for a day? Guess again! She has her own notions on that front!

Amazingly, no one gave me any trouble about putting their blankets on. Imagine that! Elly stood there like she's had one on many many times. She's such an old soul. Yes that is mud that Elly is standing on. Frozen mud at that! My hose froze and split. Who would have ever thought it would be a challenge to find a hose in winter?

Hannah on Christmas morning. She ripped through her presents in record time. Notice the cowboy boots she got in the second picture. Once we put them on, she refused to take them off! LOLThe first thing she said to me when she got here was, "I wanna ride my pony!" Dear Lord..... I am in so much trouble with this one! She's never been on a horse, let alone allowed to get any where near them

I just love this horse. I have a few favorites. She is at the top of the list. ; )

Admittedly, I'm not a good photographer. However, this gal Finally stood still long enough for me to take her picture. She's Usually up in my face or has one of those Eeyore looks going on. She is the hardest horse I have to take a picture of. I think CC looks pretty darn good. She has grown a bit, and now is a good solid 14.2. I'm hoping to send her to a trainer here shortly. She is

The Warmth Of A HorseBy Shelly Whiting ~//~ When your day seems out of balanceAnd so many things go wrong... When people fight around youAnd the clock drags on so long...When some folks act like childrenAnd fill you with remorse...Go out into your pastureWrap your arms around your horse.His gentle breath enfolds youAs he watches with those eyes...He may not have a PhDBut he is, oh so so wise

This kid comes to life when there's a camera pointed at him. He loves to take pictures and have his picture taken. He's a real hoot! He may be 3, but sometimes he acts like he's much older and wiser then some of us "adults". He's the house clown though, that's for sure. Papa's been spoiling the heck out of him lately too, which doesn't help. LOL

He was less then pleased. He liked it for a moment, then started crying like we were hurting him, so his bath was short and sweet. He looked so cute though. See his cheeks aren't as plump as they were when he was first born. ; ) He's so sweet.

Well I did it. I went and finished my paperwork for RS. I'm not sure when I start back there, but I'll find out tomorrow I suspect. On another note, The Store~It seems that no matter how much one makes there is always going to be someone that is jealous, fearful, manipulative or controlling, the worst is someone who is all four. We have 3 such individuals, one that denies she is, one that is

I've been doing a lot of thinking about jobs as of late, can't you tell? LOL Anyway, I'm curious, what would be the ultimate job for you? Here's mine ~ PT hours for a full time pay. A minimum of 25 hr. Work 3 to 4 days a week for eh, I don't know, 6 hours? With a nice lunch break in there too. Just enough challenge to keep my brain stimulated, just enough exercise to keep the muscles

1. We DO NOT need to show up with our hair combed, make up on and wearing a clean shirt. 2. Moaning, groaning and complaining about aching muscles is perfectly acceptable,as is taking Motrin prior to a ride. 3. Helping someone on or off the horse does not mean the rider is an invalid. It only means the horse got taller overnight. 4. No one will comment about how big someone's butt

Yesterday, I thought ~ It would be easier for me to feed everyone if I opened the gates and let all the horses back together. Now Why would I think it would be easier? Less traveling time so to speak, meaning that the 4 mares in the back field could get in the barn Should it start raining, which it did last night and most of today. Well, in my Brilliance, I didn't take into account that Dolly

Well of course the baby was born early on Friday so that started the weekend here off with a Bang! He's a lot more animated today, but is still quite the quiet one compared to his brother. Thankfully! I can see though, where Collin is going to give Gregory a run for his money later down the road. He's built to be a football player. LOLAnd today, while I was at the hospital, my sister in law

Well at 12:10 am Sabrina's water broke. So.... we b lined to the hospital. They checked her in, got her in a room all by 12:30am. The doctor arrived at about 1:30am. She was prepped for the surgery and taken to the OB operating room. Only one person was allowed to go in with her, I was "it". Although they wouldn't allow me in there until they had everything in place and they were about to

After the LONG wait, tomorrow has FINALLY come.. We will be leaving here around 9:45am. They have told my daughter that only one person can be in the delivery room, so I get to be it! I'm under strict rules ~ No photos of the actual cut and whatnot. She doesn't want to be grossed out by the cutting for the C section. :P Can't blame her, but.... I may have to snap one anyway. If she

They all got wormed first. They must have actually liked it because they weren't trying to wipe it all over me this time. LOLThis is Cassie and her OH so concerned look. She just wanted me to go away so she could eat her dinner. She really didn't care one way or another. This is Cotie's "concerned" look. He's almost to mellow. Is there such a thing though? Really?Then they all got their

Mr. "Fugly" himself. He's starting to get fat, even though I've cut his feed back significantly, he's still gaining weight. He is also slightly butt high again. I really need to get some decent pictures done, one of those things that are on my "to do" list.

The EACH have their Own buckets, but that is just to easy! They all have to eat out of the same bucket. When the first one is done, they all move down to the next and continue until all 5 buckets are empty. They fight a little over who's turn it is to stick their head in the bucket, but it's not much, it's usually just pinned ears and get out of my way. LOL they are bad.....They do the same

This is Slydone Got Lucky, aka Miss Elly.To some, Miss Elly may look like a typical red dun filly. But, she's much more then that to me. This is the story of how Miss Elly came here to be with me.Some years ago, my mom and I were looking at horses. She wanted one of her own to ride so she could go on trail rides with me. While we were looking at this one particular barn, we spotted a gelding
