Hi! Here is a mid week vote from Fancy and our herd!
I added a pic of Fancy's heel injury at the bottom of our page. She is out of the stall leaping, bucking, & running hard!
I think Trigger wants Fancy back in the stall. She is directing his every move, even if he can eat. Poor guy. Trigger gained weight while Fancy was in the stall. If he loses any weight, I will have to separate them so he can have some peace.

Depending on days I am physically able, I will ground drive Fancy and let her pull some things. I am excited for this!

Last Saturday my brothers rode Buttercup and Goldie. I got to ride Buttercup. Buttercup kept trying to follow my brother and she would not listen to me. She wanted to have a temper tantrum, so my brother lead her around so I could ride here. I felt like a little kid. But at least I got to ride. LOL.

I wanted to ride Goldie, but after I saw her behavior, I was fearful for my brother to ride her. Goldie is dangerously buddy sour, I tried to hold the reins so he could tack her up. But she pushes you with her body and neck and she will not listen to instruction. She will turn her butt to push you and try to run past you. I think that means she will kick if she wants too. I had to ask Buttercup's owner (my other brother) to hold Goldie because, Goldie made my wrists hurt. I don't want to ride Goldie anymore. She needs some schooling! My brother had a time getting on her but when he was finally on her, they started out rough until she was under her buddy. He had to keep them two together so he could hope for a peaceful ride.

Have a lovely HUMP-DAY
Love from our horsey family to yours ♥

Hi, hope all is ok with you all.
FANCY'S PERCEPTIONS, OUR SAVIOUR IS RISEN!
“The great Easter truth is not that we are to live newly after death – that is not the great thing – but that...we are to, and may, live nobly now because we are to live forever.” (Phillips Brooks)

HI!!! Here is a Happy Easter vote for you!
I am so happy to be able to blog and vote! Saturday I got my job list caught up and the brace is helping with the swelling, pain, & numbness. I have missed interacting with you all. I will blog and vote often as I can depending on my physical situation.

Saturday afternoon we went to the farm to take pics of my brothers and their friend as they rode out. I rode Buttercup in the field, well, my brother lead me on her. When he got her she did not like anyone. Now, she knows who he is and she only wants to listen to him! I could not ride her without him leading her. I did not want to get into a tussle with her either because my wrist are weak. I did enjoy the short ride in the field though!!!

Fancy's wound continues to improve. I was afraid to let her get her kicks out, but I let her out for a while Friday. She ran! Bucked, kicked, & ran more! There was NO limping, no swelling, no bleeding. I did put some bell boots on her before I let her out. Does any one know if it is ok to allow her to wear bell boots all day or night? I took them off when I put her back in the stall. The bell boots covers that wound so I think they will help if I leave her out. I don't know anything about bell boots because I have never used them.

If you saw our last video, don't worry, Fancy was not in any danger. Fancy has been goin up them stairs since she was 10 months old. When we go there more often she walks up them better than I do. They are in the park and there is grass on both sides. I never let her walk down. I think the pool noodle getting under her leg made her feel funny because the first time she was unsure. After I
placed that noodle back at her side she was ok.

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. Fancy honey, you be there for mom, she needs those pretty shoulders of your's to cry on right now. So hug her back and let her tell you all about whatever she feels like. Which is probably how much she loves you!
So going into the winter after my accident, is when I made the decission to find a new show horse. And that's when Indy came into the picture. I wanted something dead quiet. And that's Indy, so quiet he don't like to lope! LOL! So H.T. went into retirement from wearing a saddle at the age of 15 years old. But he had been shown between halter and then riding for 13.5 years of his life with me. He really enjoyed the good life. In a way, he worked hard for it over the years, he did very well in the show pen. ROM, in Halter with AQHA, and tons of points. In PHBA, several ROM's and a Champsionship in Western Pleasure and Halter. Over 500 lifetime points in Palomino alone.
Went down to see and ride Paige today. Another awesome day! I rode first this time, Karen was busy with the vet doing the second part of spring shots on the horses that aren't going home next month. So I worked her out first, Karen said, guezz you don't need me, look at how good you've got her going without a trainer warm up. We laughed. I said I got lucky today! LOL!
Came home and took care of Indy and Bullseye, it was like 45 degrees and it started to sleet, go figure!
Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. So here's one kinda in a way funny story of H.T. antics! He was 4 years old then. It was the end of show season, like late Sept, and I had to have surgery on my left wrist. Not from him, work related! LOL! I had a boarder at the time, Sue, who was a equine colledge grad, so you would think she should know better. Now mind you, I've got a soft cast from the knuckles to my elbow and very swollen fingers from surgery three days ago. Sue comes to see Toppy Tip her mare. Puts a un-opened bag of carrots on the ledge of H.T. stallion bars. Well that slim muzzle of his and talented lips got the bag of carrots! I'm like Sue, hurry get in there and pull it out of his mouth, she's like you come with me, he's crazy at times. Needles to say, we couldn't get his mouth open and he ate it all! Called the vet, give him some physcilliam for a week, should be okay, about 7 to 10 it'll be in his manura. If he starts to colic, call me again. HUH! Well it took 13 days and the bag and the tie nylon came out in the manura. He's like got 9 lives, that was like number 2 or 3 then. LOL!
At home day today, was nice out, kinda windy by did get to 50 degrees again. Drying things up! Got Indy and Bullseye out in the indoor for play time. Did some fix up work on the drive way to the barn, back dragged with the tractor bucket and smoothed out the ruts from the run-off on those couple of heavy rain storms. Thursday's a Paige day, can't wait. Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. So we got through the shoe boil operation and all that went with it. Started out 2007 show year season. Come June 21st, getting ready to leave in a couple of days for a 4 day show. I'm riding H.T. up in the outdoor (no indoor then) and he's doing very well. We're lopeing along, and all of a sudden, some idiot fires a 30-30 poching a deer in my lower field, and H.t. comes unglued at the seems. He's the one who hates noise's behind him. He goes to a crow hop and buck and I get slammed down on the horn with my collar bone and shoulder, stayed with him for about 30 feet of this and couldn't get him under control. So with the fence on my left and my left arm killing me, I baled off to the right, darn landed on my arm wrong and drove my own elbow into my right side ribs and busted two of them too. I laid there, heard my neighbor come out into his garage, said hi there, I could use a little help. Jason came over, got me up and H.T. to the barn, went and got Eileen down the road for me, she got H.T. put up, feed Junior, H.T. and Bullseye and drove me to the hospital. Yep, broken clavical, torn shoulder and two broken ribs on the oposite side. What a mess. 17 week out of work and missed my entire show season. Said no offense H.t., I think it's time to retire you before you kill me!
What a ride today on Paige. My trainer said that we were 100% loping to the left and I'm about 85% keeping her together and just using leg to the right lope. She just texted my and said "You and Paige are really becoming a team. So proud of you!" I'm on another natural high again in life! got home and played with Indy and Bullseye. Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. So Angle H.T's tramur starts again in the summer of 2006. Seems while he was at the clinic for his colic surgery, he developed the start of a shoe boil on his elbow. Over the next four years it got very large and would effect his stride. Decission made to go back to the hospital and have it removed. This time he did not have to be totally knocked out. And I got to watch, for most of it, left when it got a little to entailed for me. He had about an 8 inche incission. And they stitched him up good, but being the point of the elbow, well you know, it didn't hold for enough days. I came home three days later from work on a sunday and it was ripped open and bleeding. In the trailer back to the hospital, had to stay for two days. Couldn't be re-stitched, now it had to be packed daily and cleaned out and had to heal from the inside out. I felt like a full time nurse again. About a week later, he started with a fever and was punky, back to the hospital for another 2 or 3 days it was, he picked up a staff infection there the week before and now had that to deal with. But he come home and things started to improve once again. It took that 6 inches gapping hole about 6 months to fill in and another few months he had almost all the hair grown back in, you would have never known about that ordeal. Good thing it was the winter, and of course I was the nurse all winter again. We did a lot of bonding that horse and I!
Well we got lucky today and the snow storm stayed well south of us, we had over cast skies with periods of sun even, while an hour south of us were getting pounded with snow! Got the boys out in the indoor and did some showmanship with Indy. Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. Today March 24th would have been H.T. 21st Birthday! Onto 2005 with the adventures of H.T. What a show season for us. We were at the NJQH Youth show and showing in Trail class. You know I love trail class, right! Well, We were going against this woman from Conn. with her two horses that show at the Quarter Horse World Show and are always in the top 5 placings! I'm like, I'm out of my league! But we showed the Select Class and there were about 6 riders in our age group. HT. had an awesome pattern! Placings were called and we were 1st and 2nd under the two judges. I beat her and then came in second to her, we kinda flip flopped on the placings. I was on a high like you couldn't believe. He was so good, we did the Open trail then, against like 11 horses and were 2nd and 3rd under the two judges. I couldn't contain myself after that, I cried tears of joy all the way back to the stalls, then had a beer! Yeah, me the person who don't drink! LOL!
What a day today! Paige is just getting better and better and I'm really learning to feel my way through all the moves to keep her up without letting her get to out of frame! We are really becoming a team now! Karen of course has no problems, but hey, that's why she's a trainer! LOL!
Got home and it was like 45 degrees, got the kids out for a little fresh air and moved hay to the barn. Wood to the garage in preperation for tomorrow's big snow storm! Yep another one! Oh well, after all it's spring! NOT!!!!! Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

☆★☆ Good Sunday morning! Hugs and a vote… 26 MPG winds! 44 degree’s but wind chill is 34. That is cold to us but compared to you folks in northern states it probably sounds warm-lol.

Yesterday made Deacon & I’s 6th anniversary together! It was cloudy after work but no winds and I did have to wear a jacket but it was pleasant outside so I haltered up each horse one at a time and took them to this spot that is about an 8’ by 12’ area that has a lot of green grass growing. It needed mowed so each horse got 5 minutes to eat! They were in HEAVEN!!!! Then I rode Deacon bareback with just his halter to celebrate our anniversary together. We walked, then trot and I backed him and side passed both directions. I repeated this about 3 times and then he gave me his famous kisses and I hugged him and turned him loose…he is such a smooth ride! Have a great day ♥

Yesterday I rode Misty and ponied Sierra for about an hour, they were both great. Later I tryed longeing Cherokee, I'm not sure if he has ever been longed before but he did fine. Then longed Dakota for the first time in months. He did fine too but he has just one gait for longeing and that is trotting. He will trot slow and trot fast but he will not walk or lope. He doesn't know reverse either, he just trots around in a circle until I tell him whoa! Headed out to feed the boys now, have a great day.

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. So after 8 days H.T. got to come home! It was a lot of work, the first 30 days I had to moniter his temp twice a day and scrub the incission with a special mixture they gave me. But he had to, and they meant had to, be hand walked every day for at least 20 minutes. That meant nice days and rainy days. Of course I DID NOT have my indoor then! He had some ruff days, had my vet out, found out he was rejecting the master sutures and they were coming through the skin, the were the internal ones. My vet showed me how to remove just little pieces at a time. Of course this meant laying under this 15.3 fire ball, but he knew we were helping and never flinched. The second 30 days consisted of tune out. Now mind you, when you build pastures, they are all good sizes. We had to make a tempory one 30 X 40 so he could not run at all. And the frist 10 days he had to be given a little ace to keep him calm. After those 30 days it was lungeing for 15 to 20 minutes to build him up for show season. Now the hand walking was in Nov, the turn out in Dec and the lungeing in Jan. With the snow and ice, is was plow the area and stock pile the snow, if needed I would re=plow and cover the ice with 6 inches of snow. I lost a lot of weight that winter! Be we got through it. Feb I kept up with the lungeing and March too. then April I started to ride and he was very good, I think he knew he had a second chance on life this time around! We went onto have a wonderful show season that summer. there is life after colic surgery!
Today Indy had a day at the spa. It was very cold and windy, windchill of high teens, I think spring made a u-turn and is hanging out in south america! Tomorrow I'm going to do another tack and clothing sale. Only now I find out it's outside in a parking lot. Temps for the day, mid to high 30's with winds 15 -25 mph and gusts to 35, should be a ton of fun! NOT. And I prepayed for my spot! I'm not losing my money on it! Darn! Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

I had a nice long ride on Misty yesterday, she is settling down better now that it is warmer out. I also rode Cherokee and worked on leg yielding with him. Today I did ground driving, longeing, and backing with Sierra. She is doing really good with ground driving, she knows the voice commands walk, trot, and whoa already from longeing so she responds to them for ground driving too. It is super nice out today, 30s and sunny so I might ride Cherokee later.

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. So H.T. got to live at the Mid-Atlantic Equine Hospital for 8 days after his colic surgery. You can bet I was there everyday to see him. I was working for the company that I retired from last year, and at that time was a department manager. I would go in and give my part-timers instructions on what to do and then leave on sick-time. My boss at that time was very understanding! I was driving a total of 200 miles a day, but my boy was worth it. He had some bad days the first few, but improved as each went on. On my day off of work, I would take Teddy (Lab) with me and sit in front of his stall on a chair and read to him. H.T. also loved when Teddy would go in the stall with him and they would kiss each other, that's how I knew he was getting better.
Was down to ride Paige today. She's getting so good and steady now, just a few minor adjustments when she don't hold herself up and she's hooked again in that lope! Then we did showmanship practice for like 45 minutes also. I think I was more tired than the mare!
Got home late cause of both things and just gave hay to the boys for a late lunch. Usually they have lunch about 3 pm, today it was like 4 pm. But they were happy. Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

♡♥♡ So glad HC is working, I sure missed it yesterday! I went out this morning to feed the outside cats and guess what I ran into! You guessed it~a little skunk!!! I opened the door and it scampered down the walk way, didn’t try to spray thank goodness! So, Cliff grabbed the flashlight and went around the house and looked the direction it went into the field and he saw 4 sets of eye balls-WOW…don’t you know poor Cliff was thinking about when Rain (our dog) got sprayed 3 x’s at the end of summer ha ha!!! We are getting a spotlight so he can actually see to take care of this problem. We have reports of skunks about 20 miles from us having rabies so….

★ I will be off work tomorrow so phone votes for as many as I can! We will see if I can get some horsey time other than feeding time. We are expecting rain 20 to 30% so we will see!

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. So poor H.T. underwent his colic surgery and it was for a retro flexed pelvic flexor. Something in his stomach moved, probably rolling or even just getting up from lying down the vet said. I got home in the wee hours of the new day, sleep for a couple of hours, feed junior and bullseye and got back in the old truck and drove 2 hours to see my baby! He looked so pathictic still! I was standing there talking with one of the techs, Lisa, and when H.T. went into his routine for peeing! He must have learned this from watching the cat in the little box in the barn! He would circle once, stand extended, but then paw with a front hoof to move more bedding under himself to guard against the splash back of the urine! Vet tech says, oh boy, he's colicing, again, gotta get a vet, no Lisa, wait and watch, this is how he pees! She started laughing then when he did pee. I said if you see him doing it, just give him a minute before calling in the National Guards! I stayed about 4 hours with him, just talking and petting him, he was hooked up to an over head IV and tubes and could walk around and lie down, it was very interesting in a way. Still had to wear the muzzle for a few more days they said.
Didn't do much today other than turn the boys out in the indoor for play time. then did a little showmanship with Indy. Went to my lung doctor for my asthma check up, all's well. Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. So we're still in the later part of 2002 and I had just gotten a new 2003 truck in Aug. It had a little paint problem and after show season we would take care of it. Good thing I didn't trade in my 1991 diesel for it. I got home on a sunday afternoon after dropping the truck off at the dealers for them to send out for the paint repairs. Anyhow, about 2 pm I go to let the horse's out and H.T. is in distress. Colic! Call my vet, Oh Oh, he's on vacation! Got the emergency vet to come out about 3:30 she got here! Oh yeah he was colicing big time. But 7 pm my good friend was here and we were headed to the equine hospital I use. We got there a little after 9 pm, wow, full staft waiting in the parking lot as we pulled in! He got better treatment than a human going to the emergency room. After a ton of tests, it was deamed either surgery immediately or he was a gonner! Okay, the insurance company gave the go a head, weather they did or not, I gave the go a head and would pay for it. He was in surgery for almost 3 hours. When Dr. Patty Doyle walked into the waiting room smiling, I knew he made it! He was in recovery and we could go and see him shortly! He looked so pathictic! He had to have a muzzle on and was hooked up to all kinds of IV bottles and stuff. I was in shock! He would be in the hospital at least a week they said! And they told me, it would be a roller coaster ride, he would have good days and bad days and hopefully pull thru this. We left at 3 am to come home. I sleep for a couple of hours, feed junior and bullseye and left for the 2 hour ride back to the hospital to spend the day with him. More to come!
What a great day down by Paige today! She's really getting it together now! I think we've really got the buttons in the right places now! Karen said that this was my best ever ride on her and we looked awesome! Got home and played with my Indy boy. He's my lover boy! We got like 6 or 7 inches more of snow last night and thankfully some of it melted off today with the 40 degree day and sunshine! So I didn't really finish plowing the driveway and didn't run the snow thrower at all. Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. So the stories of H.T. go on! He came home that day from the surgery, a little while later, had to stay in recovery for a few hours from being put totally under! I had to keep him on meds and keep putting that silver spray on his eye brow! He didn't mind at all. He always was a good patient. We got thru the winter and into next year, 2002 and a friend was then helping me ready him for trail classes! If you want to do trail and jog overs and lope overs, it's like when you've done about 1000, go for another 1000 and you might have it mastered! LOL! He did well! He liked the challenge of something new to do!
Got a text from Karen, she said that Paige was awesome today! I told her to tell Paige to hold that thought for tomorrow. If I can get there! We're in the middle of another snow storm. 2.5 inches in 3 hours and it's supposed to continue all night till tomorrow morning around 8 am! So I don't know if I'll be going to ride her or not. Did get the boys out today for some free time in the indoor. They do have fun in there. Look for Bullseye's new video, should be up tomorrow, it's very cute and funny!

☆ Good Monday afternoon! I had a horsey filled weekend, how about you? I would love to hear all about it! Saturday I took Deacon and hauled out to our favorite place, “McCown Valley Lake Whitney “. There were so many people there. A lot were camped out with their horses competing in trail obstacles. There were judges staked out at different areas so they could perform maneuver’s to get points. Anyway, me and the crew I was with took back ways that no one else really knows about. Deacon was a ball of energy the 1st hour and after that he smoothed on out to his perfect self for the rest of the day! Sunday I got out Whiskey. I groomed him and broke out the clippers. He usually does not like the clippers but I worked with his legs and moved on up and got him use to it first. He sure looked pretty after I removed all the hair around his face! We rode there around the house for about an hour. Yes I groomed Rocket as well. No I didn’t clip him nor did I ride him. I did work from the ground with him. I lunged him at a walk, then trot, and worked on backing. He was such a good boy. You can tell he wants to learn and do well…have a great day!!

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. HAPPY ST. PADDY's DAY!
Well moving right along to 2001 with our Angel H.T. hightlites! Now I know that a lot of you use those fly masks on your horses! I used to too. Won't no more, costly mistake for H.T. It was like Aug and he was out in his pasture, I see his really shaking his head, but he had his mask on. Go investigate! There was a bee inside the darn make going to town on him. Well he got a bad sting above the eye, it swelled up bad. Cold compresses and the whole deal. Leave 5 days later for a show, he rubs it on the hay bay in his stall at the show and it's swollen shut the next morning. Have the on call vet out! Gives him a shot and checks it out, just really irratated it. Got better, we showed! He had a mickey, but we showed and he did well. About two months later, there's this little pea sized lump right in the serba orbit and it's moving around and each day growing. Call Larry my vet, but the fourth day when I called him it was the size of a golf ball. Larry says, it's gota come out, but he has to go to the hospital. He'll be knocked out completely so they can get it all, what ever it is. He goes for surgery two days later, comes out of recovery and looks like Mame from the Drew Carey show. Bright silver eye shadow over the eye lid. About 15 stitches and Rick (the surgeon) showed me the golf ball, he opened it up and there was this hard bean in it. Sending for biopsy. It was an encapsulated abcess with the bea's stinger in the middle of it. Thank you fly mask and a ton of money for surgery! No more fly masks for us! And that's when I applied for surgical insurance for him, besides his mortality policy.
Went down by Paige today and rode, had a good time, love that mare. But it's looking like she's might be starting her heat cycles! UGH! Regumate time! Came home and played with lover boy Indy and then Bullseye.
Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. So Angel H.T. is moving right along! We're at the year 2000 and he's doing very well with riding and showing, Hock is fine and just keeping him going nice and soft! It was a very good show year and he kinda stayed out of trouble with road cones and toys. Just loves to play and do silly things that boy did!
What a silly day, got up to the sun out and by 1 oclock this afternoon, it's snowing and still snowing. they are saying 2 to 4 inches could be possible! About an inch so far in like 5 hours, very light and soft wet snow, go figure! Indy and Bullseye were out in the indoor for playtime. Today was Paige's day off from work, so no report there! Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

Hi I'm Mazy, a 7yr old Haflinger mare. I ride western when the weather is good. My Mom flew over my head one day while paying attention to Pork chop the pig. I just stood steady when she landed at my hooves. My motto is "Sure I can talk...just watch me" Please stop by and leave a vote.

Hi Fancy Pant, here's a vote for ya. So miss fancy pants, what do you think of your new little brother, and he's the same color as you! Well close, a little lighter!
So we're movin' on into 2000 and springs here! I decided to just lunge him for 30 minutes and get on. H.T. was very good for me. He's finally growing up! LOL! We had a really good show season that year and he won a lot of halter and pleasure classes, especially at Palomino! He had his usual play time antics, like chasing the cat all over the barn if I left his door open for two minutes to empty a water bucket, he'ld come out and stick his nose down to the cat and push him along, like hey, get movin' or I'm gonna get ya! But he never did hurt the little guy. And he loved to nuzzle with my then lab Teddy! They were always kissing each other.
Went back to the dentist this morning for one more adjustment on the tempory crown. Then down to ride Paige. Since I was like 45 minutes late, Paige was standing in the indoor arena tied to the wall. This is a good thing to get them used to tying where others ride next to and around them. Although she could care less about being in traffic! Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. So we're in the summer of 1999 and H.T. got better in june, but then by mid july he was moving funky behind. I had my vet out, he suggested pulling blood for EPM, since severl horses in our area were on the meds for it. Blood work came back positive, to really rule out if he needed the expensive meds, I got him admitted to Mid_Atlantic Equine Hospital for a full work-up. And one vet said hocks, other vet said let's run the spinal tap just to be sure. I watch the entire procedure of the spinal tap. He was heavly sedated. Very interesting. We then went with some hock x-rays and came up with a little goings on in the left hock. Decided to do hock injections as we were there and he was still under. Results came back from the double viles of spinal fluid as negative in the spinal cord. Good news. Withing 7 days he was totally sounds and off to the Palomino show where we kicked some butt and won it all! Happy ending on that one!
Didn't get down to Paige today. Truck was in shop, it was the starter! Only it wasn't bad, it was the four bolts that hold it in place had been worked lose and it rotated and caused the problem. Bob my regular mechanci and I are both wondering how 4 bolts all come that lose at once. We have our suspusions on how!
Got to the dentist and got my tempory crown glued back on and things are going in the right direction again.
Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. So we got through our ruff end of 1998! Onto 1999, H.T. is now 7 years old and I was a little leary of starting him out in the spring. Bobby out of business due to health reason. So a friend suggests that I use her trainer, let's use the initals PB for him. Seems that was a big waste of money and my horses health. He did nothing with him for the month he was there, go to my first show and he's a nut case! Call PB, what the heck did you do, oh besides not ride my horse. Oh I'm sorry I'll give you two weeks for free, bring him back. Well now, he goes to working the heck out of this poor horse and darn near cripples him behind. Hock injury that lasted a couple of months! Don't use someone who you know only works for his major clients! Lesson learned!
Karen texted me and said Paige was very good and getting very solid now, can't wait to show her! Got the boys out in the indoor for some playtime. Ground is a muddy mess and I don't want pulled tendons!
Was supposed to go the dentist and the lung doctor, go to leave, truck won't start. The started went in it! It's at the garage to be fixed tomorrow! Hopefully it's just the started and it didn't take the fly wheel with it! It just don't stop! Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

Hi Fancy Pants, here's a vote for ya. So we're at the end of the 1998 show season and at out last show. The yellow jacket bees were out in force, hanging out in every garbage can around. We just come out of a halter class and were waiting for out next one, when a couple of kids knock the 55 gallon drum and out they come. Stinging poor H.T. on the butt! He lunges forward, knocking me to the ground, tries hard to clear me but still lands a hoof on the inside of my right thigh. I hit my head pretty hard to on the blacktop! Another trip to the ER! One heck of a lump on the back of my head, slight concussion and a hugh hemotoma starting on the thigh! That was Sat, so no show on sunday for me or him! He did have several welts on his butt later on that afternoon, he got stung a few times! More to come.
Today was a great day down at Paige's. she rode awesome for me. Karen tuned her, and just as the vet was getting there for Redford, Karen says here ya go. She's all yours, I'll be with Terry and her horse and the vet. Karen would glance over and yell, wow look at you two, looking good at the lope. Wow , nice right lead lope, she's staying really nice, keep that leg in her if you need to! It was great! Got home really late, had the dentist afterwards, so Indy and Bullseye just got hay and stayed in the barn, heavy rains also!
Love ya, Marion and the blondies.

Fancy has a Tuesday vote for you. :)
Our yard is soaked after last nights rains! The daffodils still look so pretty!
After having the cold winter months off, Buttercup finally had some riding time this past weekend. She seemed to enjoy her short time under saddle. I think she will be ready for the trails come spring. NOw to just get Fancy ready! I look forward to seeing Fancy prancing in the sun when her ouchie is all healed.
We always build their riding times up during many short rides. Do you prepare your horse for hours of riding.
