*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Just in case you were wondering….. …..I’m still looking….. I’ve added some more to my cash envelope for my next Hunt horse….. …..but…it’s not impressive….. I’ve been scouring the internet for the perfect Clydesdale mare….. This Hunt Season has already started….. …..they’re only a few Hunts in….. And lets not forget…I don’t have my truck back yet…either….. …..(geez…I’m starting to sound pathetic)….. But I have located a farm out in California which has…

Claire Is A Great Mom

Claire Is A Great Mom

Claire likes babies….. She is attentive…..engaging…..TOLERANT…..directive….. …..and protective….. I don’t know what her background was before we found each other….. …..I don’t think it was a very positive one….. …..she was certainly neglected….. But she seems to know that she has found a safe place….. …..somewhere where she’ll be okay….. …..(I still think it’s odd that she and Chantilly were both missing the same front tooth)….. …..(and that Claire can’t efficiently “scoop” with her lips when she’s eating)…..(food is always…

I suppose I have to now……. I’ve been putting this off for awhile……. It’s been over two weeks……. So I’ll just jump in at the deep end……. Chantilly died suddenly……. So suddenly…….. I can’t wrap my head around any of this……. We’ve involved the county’s Environmental Crimes Unit… But like everything else……. …they are not going to be able to find anything……. We have her death on surveillance camera footage……. …….very dramatic… …….very sudden… I’d been watching the horses since…

  It doesn’t look it……. …..but Addy’s doing better… We really are………………………..phew… Her temperatures are now within “normal” range…….even though the weather continues too be in the 90’sF. and there are no afternoon rains yet.       It’s Hot!     Last night at 8:00PM, after all of the day’s heat, Addy’s temperature was 100.6F. That’s very acceptable (for a horse). Right now, I’ve got multiple water sources spraying and sprinkling all over this property. My home-made, PVC-piping “T”…

    April 21st., 2019… I know it’s Easter Sunday………. ……….but it’s another day too……….   ……….it’s the day last year that our horses started dying………. My family is trying to move on………. …..we are………. Additionally it’s the anniversary of my Father’s passing……………   Quite the day, isn’t it?………. But……………we’re also hoping that Claire is in foal to Brave………. That’s something to celebrate……….isn’t it?!! We do still need Dr. Stevie Wonder to confirm by ultra sound to make sure……….  …

    Esther came over today and we went trail riding. It never ceases to be therapy for me…………….as long as I don’t fall on my head… And, today, I didn’t. Tra!  La!   Celebrate the small stuff………. Esther and Chantilly had a good outing. It was a relaxing, easy ride. And here’s another mini-celebration………….Addy got her tootsies wet today, in a minuscule muddy puddle (that in her mind was probably filled with hoof-dissolving acid)…………..and she didn’t melt…………….!   For…

  We’re getting there… The girls are slowly putting on weight……………….but where horses are concerned~~~slow is good……………….where I’m concerned~~~I can put on weight at super-sonic speed~~~eazy-peezy……………..and also, not so good.     I’ve had to hang a horse crop out by the wagon (where I feed the ladies), so that I don’t get mowed over in their zealousness getting to their feed pans.       Chantilly and Claire have had a history of scant and/or scarce meals of questionable…

  I went trail riding a couple days ago with my friend, Lola. We haven’t seen each other for a while. It’s been because of the hot, hot summer weather…………well, that and me loosing all of my horses last spring…………………………………….(sigh) But it’s time for a happy day now. Lola came over and we went trail riding…………..it’s the first time I’ve ridden since before the horrific April tragedy………………………………….(sigh). Lola rode Chantilly. I rode the Pop-ster……………….who tried me with a couple of…

  It’s been unusually hot and humid this year. This weather has been dragging on longer than what anyone expected. I’m thinking that there is a cooler weather front that is on its way………….stalled, but on its way… In the meantime……………..the horses are really uncomfortable and blowing. Chantilly (who has breathing issues right now anyway) is huffing, but so is fat-Poppy, who is puffing away… A couple years ago, I made a tall PVC attachment for one of our hoses………………a…

Ponies Packing Poundage

Ponies Packing Poundage

Comments 0 Comment

  The Clydesdale ladies are putting on weight. Most times, we girls don’t want to admit added dimensions or even think about the potential of extra poundage. But for Claire and Chantilly……………….this is a good thing. These days they’re both happy members of the “clean-plate-club”. I am putting them both in the “rescue horse” category. I had originally thought that Chantilly was in okay shape when I got her and that Claire was the only rescue case. Now, I’ve reconsidered….
