**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** This year’s Fox Hunting Season is in full swing….. Mary Constance just sent me the GPS mapping of the hounds at last Saturday’s Hunt….. It was at a ranch just south of us…and apparently they covered 15.5 miles….. Geez!  Louise!………….that was a long Hunt….. But a good Hunt horse can do it…at least the weather was a little cooler…not cold…but cooler….. Mary Constance said the first half of the Hunt was a blank……..

*******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)…..

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Another post about Claire-Bear and her hooves….. I wish all my posts could be positive….. I wish Claire would heal….. …..neither one of those wishes appear to be realistic….. But the good news is…Claire isn’t acting any worse for wear….. She just keeps plugging along….. One hoof in front of the other….. Claire is inadvertently living out her own twelve-step program….. One day at a time….. Montana (our blacksmith) was here again…(it’s a…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** The weather is so inhospitable right now…going outside is something to avoid….. I’m looking at photos of my hearty friends venturing out on trail rides with their horses….. I have to admire them…I have to admire their mounts…I’m hoping they’re out on the trails when it’s still quasi-cool in the early mornings…(but it’s never cool)….. Claire and Anja and Brave would faint if they were asked to exercise right now….. …..they are so…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I had to take a time-out from a clean-up chore….. I was going to clean-up the area around the hitching post on our driveway….. …..all of the recent rains have washed leaves and sand into wet dunes all over the cement….. It’s not dry enough to blow off yet…it needs a flat-bottomed shovel to scoop and push all of the debris back to where it came from….. I needed this cleared so I…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I just came in from fly-spraying and bug-treating the horses….. This is the time of year that I find so frustrating….. …..forget about me…it’s got to be worse for the horses going through this….. …..they get rained on…they get to live in a steam-room 24/7…the heat and humidity is incredible….. …..and let’s not even talk about the electrical lightening storms that whip through like clockwork….. Over the years I’ve tried so many different…

I haven’t actually “put a stick” on her….. …..no…..that’s not true….. …..I’ve attempted a couple times….. …..but I gave up…..’cuz it didn’t work….. “The Stick”  I’m  referring to is a way to measure the height of a horse….. *****The…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* CLICK HERE***Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*** I “think” we’re making headway with Claire’s hooves….. But when my vet doesn’t know…..and my blacksmith doesn’t either?…. …..then who am I to guess…..(?)….. Remember that weird semi-soft-semi-turgid-lumpy-thing that appeared on the outside of Claire’s hind right hoof? My blacksmith didn’t want to touch it…..he wanted me to show it to my vet….. I showed it to Doctor Stevie Wonder…..he said…
