Soooooo....

Picture yourself, if you will, walking to your horse's pasture to blanket him.  Its in the low 40's and 9:30 at night.  Assume the barn owner is sleeping so you don't want to wake him by shoutin your horses name, but, you don't wanna go lookin in the big dark pasture for your black horse.  So you proceed to kiss and whistle over and over again.  You wait a few seconds.........................

nothin.  So you kiss and whistle again this time quietly calling your horse's name once...............................

nothin.  So you kiss and whistle some more............

then, thanks to the help of a passing car's headlights you see a silouhette moving.  Is it moving away from you or toward you?  You can't tell so you take a tentative step forward.  Then you hear the steady rythym of a horse's hooves poundin on the ground.  It's cantering.  You can count the beats..........

1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3....

but wait........

somethins not right...it sounds like...there's more

sure enough....you hear more than one set of hooves.  They're gettin louder...Louder....LOUDER!!!!  WHERE ARE THEY COMIN FROM?????!!!!!!!!

Now you can see, and you see more than one sillouhette!  In fact you count 4!  Your mind is racin.  You have four horses all canterin towards you.  You remember you locked the gate behind you.  No fast way out...

they're gettin closer....what do you do!  try to unlock the gate?  No time....crawl through the fence what about the blanket?  They're almost on top of you!  You prepare to jump out of the way!  All of a sudden 3 of the 4 horse turn!  And your horse slides to a halt in front of you.  12 inches away, breathin heavy, and........

nuzzlin for his treat!

LOL!  Yep that was me tonight!  Scared the shit out of me!  LOL!  I got his blanket on him though at least!  LOL!  I need to invest in a flashlight.....

Help Me Please!

So I need another job.  Wild Wing Cafe ain't cuttin it on its own.  I wont make Novembers bills if I don't get another job ASAP!  I will do anythin from back breakin yard work to cleanin houses to workin with animals to you name it i'll do it.  It doesn't matter.  I just need a job!  Please help and if you know of anyone hirin please send me their way!

Thanks y'all

Back in the Saddle

Literally!  Finally got back in the saddle today for...god I forget how long.  And we went back to square one but at lease it didn't take as long for him to learn again.  We rode him today without shoes and he actually seemed to do better without them than he does when he has them on so I think I'm gonna keep him barefoot for awhile and see how he does barefoot.  Might as well I've tried everythin else.  He is lookin better actually.  His coat is almost back to normal (minus the winter coat comin in), and and hooves and still lookin good from the last time Ken was out.  Here are some pics of how he is lookin.

So Far So Good!

Well so far Sebastian's hooves havent started crackin or chippin or peelin yet since Ken came out.  Hopefully that is a good sign.  His coat is also gettin darker, softer, and shinier.  His mail, tail, and forelock have still has a way to go.  I got his boots for his hooves in so that we don't have to put shoes on him for awhile.  I am tryin to get out to the barn to get them on him so that I can start riding him and see how he does but somethin keeps comin up and preventin me from doin so.  This is so aggravatin.  I should get out there tomorrow.  So it may turn out to be an interestin day.  Lol!

Farrier Time

Ken Moody came out today.  He recommended that I just leave Sebastian barefoot and ride him in boots until we can get them healed up.  So I will be doin research tonight on them.  Let me know if any of y'all know of any places that might have them on sale or on consignment please!

GO* D*** IT!!!!!

Shoes went bye bye.  again... this freakin sucks!  what the hell!  I mean are his hooves ever gonna get better?  UGH!

A Few More

I'm at school and in between classes so I am bored.  I am lovin the weather we are havin right now.  Its nice to be able to sit out in my truck between classes and not have to run my AC so I don't die.  I'm almost ready for it to start coolin off.  Not much though.  Low 70's High 60's would be perfect.  I have turned off the AC in my house for now and have opened all the windows.  Our house is stayin at about 73 which is amazing.  I can guarantee you once the temperature starts droppin I am turnin off the AC permanantly and openin windows and investin in box fans.  I can't wait!

Dakoda is settlin in nice.  He is startin to eat a little more so I'm not as worried.  He didn't take up as much of the bed last night either.  He did step on my stomach early early this mornin.  That is one heavy dog.  LOL!  He has his wellness checkup tomorrow so we will weight him then.  I have to admit...I'm never owned a dog that was over 30 pounds.  This is a first for me.  Anyway here are a few more pics of him.

Nuts I Tell Ya! Everythin Bout My Life is LOCO!

While I was draggin pastures today Sebastian went nuts.  He galloped around and bucked and everythin!  It was real fun to watch!

Dakoda is really startin to settle in here.  He isn't quite eatin the way he should yet but he should in a few days.

Thats all I have to say for tonight!  Later!

Lesson and News

My lesson on Sunday went ok.  I got really frustrated though cause it seemed like Bastian and I just were not on the same page the whole time.  He kept runnin my leg into the fence and everythin.  Finally Holly got on and then things started clickin I think.  I got back on and he seemed to do a good deal better.  He is really startin to move into the frame we want from him.  Hopefully I'll have time to ride him tomorrow so we can work on it.

Now for the news.  I am gettin my new dog today!  He is a male and about 1-3 years old.  I am gettin him from the Goose Creek SPCA.  He is pure white and I think supposed to be a very fluffy dog but he is body clipped right now except for his tail.  That is definately fluffy!  LOL!  The card on his cage said Spitz/Mix but it didn't say what type of Spitz.  I have never heard of this breed before so I got online and did research (y'all know me...wanna know everythin about everythin) and there and mutiple types.  The one I think he might be is the japanese spitz.  Here is a link on them...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Spitz.  I am gettin him today after school.  I will get pics up as soon as I can of him!  Now I need to come up with a new name for him.  I don't like his name now which is "Adam".  So if anyone has any ideas let me know!
