Happy New Years!….the party’s over now…

It’s time for that whole painful process of getting your life back on track.
I know *I’m* more concerned with being prepared for show season than a day on the beach (but of course even as a Floridian I’ve never been too keen on frolicking in ankle deep murk wondering what critters are touching me). Whatever your New Year’s resolutions may be, I hope you achieve them. Best wishes for you all for 2014 (it is, after all, the Year of the Horse)! 🙂

It’s time for EVERYONE’S Favorite: Family Christmas Photos!

And for Heaven’s sake what have you done to the dog?!
‘Tis the Season to fully irritate your pets and be thankful that they don’t have the opposable thumbs to retaliate (of course they do have other ways). I’d love to see everyone’s holiday pet torture! Feel free to share pictures on the Facebook page. 🙂

They’re always so…helpful.

In his defense, it DOES smell divine.

Never bait a pony…

I should bite my tongue more often.
Ah yes, with winter comes the “how-quickly-can-I-destroy-my-blankets-and-make-mom-go-broke” game. It’s a seasonal favorite among my boys.

Alas, it is true…

Who wants to donate money to send poor, frozen Woody to Florida for the Winter? I’d of course go to babysit him. 😉
I’m not sure what sense there is behind horses shedding right before they grow in their winter coat. I mean really, it seems to me that it’d be more energy efficient to just add a bit more hair to what’s already there. In any event, it is a telltale sign that summer is coming to a close and while I am enjoying the descent into Fall, I am dreading the inevitable cold (and for me cold is anything below 50 degrees. 😉 ). Woody senses it too and he is not a happy camper (for him cold is anything below 70 degrees).

Job not what you thought it’d be?

Woody, despite being bred for it, firmly believes that cows are unclean and as such he refuses to work with them.
Ironically I do believe that Willie, my dutch gelding, finds cows more tolerable than Woody, who was actually bred to work with them. Go figure.

I speak from a place of experience on this…

Or you can also just be me. That’s also a super way to ensure your horse will go lame.
This is the story of my life.

How does your horse enjoy the weekend?

Mine especially enjoy this over New years and Christmas.
Doesn’t it always seem to be just at the most inopportune moment that your horses maim themselves or suddenly have the worst colic in history? Yeah, mine too.

Because you don’t do enough to support your local vet…

Can I get a padded stall?
I’m always appreciative when my horses point out the flaws in the craftsmanship of my stalls and fencing; it’s always so helpful.

Older siblings always know just what to say.
