What was the bump on the front of my horses leg? A strain…caused by me I feel HORRIBLE right now. Like the biggest jerk ever. How did it happen? Well I have been using strips of vet wrap instead of the whole roll. My logic was two fold. 1) Let the cut breath and 2) [...]

So you know how I said Gen was doing better? Well he was…as in past tense. Last night I pulled the wrap off and there was a BIG BUMP…not on the back of the leg with the open sore. No, that would be too easy. My horse had a huge lump on the FRONT of [...]

It hurts to breath right now…not for any bad reasons. It is because I am TIRED. My trainer KICKED my butt today. Texas and I needed that though. I have been a total slacker in the work out department…being in the car for 3.5 hours a day has killed my motivation on weekdays. After this [...]

Baby’s First Horse Show! – Part 3

During that last 15 minutes of warm up things really started to come together. Texas started to listen to his Owner. His canter was still a little rough, but his canter is ALWAYS rough. In fact, watching his warm up reminded me of him being naughty at home. There was no difference in my mind [...]

He was very nervous when he first got off. His eyes got really big and that giraffe like neck of his went straight up. I grabbed him and started to walk around. I loved looking over at the warm up and seeing my trainer, talk about comfort! I knew that this was going to be [...]

When I got to the barn yesterday morning to help load Texas for the horse show I was met with a terrible surprise…NO MANE! His owner got up at 5:30 am and pulled it! My poor bald pony. He also got his bridle path and his feathers clipped. Considering clippers had never touched him before [...]

Texas went to a horse show today!!!! I know this is a very ugly picture of my boy, but he was tired and we were getting ready to turn him back out. The Young Rider looks so happy there because she is torturing me and trying to get Texas to be mouthy. Poor thing was [...]
Buying Tack In A Bad Economy
Posted in Horse, tagged Horse, horses on March 21, 2009 | 3 Comments »
So I am not huge into politics of any kind in this blog. There are places to shout your mind, but to me, my blog is not one of them. That being said it is impossible to just ignore what is going on in the economy. Especially when it becomes so obvious. So I don’t [...]
