I am going to trail.
It sounds like Stude will show?
Glad to her the ponies are better. How did you deal with the founder?

Pilot is feeling much better but trying hard to still behave.

Have a great weekend! ...

Not much happening.
A light rain shower this morning.
Made rattlesnake hunting a no go.
Saw it again yesterday when we went to feed the weaning calf.
It was probably close enough for a strike by the time I saw it but it went under the shed ...

The weekend went by too fast.
Saturday I got to see our first Longhorn calf being born.
This one belongs to us. Wasn't close enough to determine for sure, but I think a heifer.
The last is a cross from the neighbor's corriente bull.@ ...

Hi,

I'm new to the forum. I am hoping that I am doing this correctly.
I am looking to see if anyone's horse has ever experienced a horrible skin problem.
Our horse started off with what looked like 4 dime-size bumps on the left ...

The doctor informed Pilot after reviewing the CT scan that he had actually broken 4 not 3 spinal processes.

We had 20% chance of rain yesterday and it rained all day.
I should have been a weather guesser.
The weather is messing with first ...

I've been working on a septic tank repair for Jmebear for a few months. That job just started out attempting to figure out why the leech lines weren't working properly and why the tank kept overflowing.
First I tried cleaning out the leech ...

Happy Birthday!
Enjoy your AWESOME adventure! ...

Again.
Super long volunteer day is planned.

First off feed calf which is still in the weaning pen. (and hopefully I don't run into the rattler this morning)
MaderChica informed me that the weaning process won't work since we have ...

Plan is to feed the horses this morning and then walk and do maintenance on our best trail which we have not been on since some time last Fall. Tomorrow I plan to take Fancy on the trail provided I don't run into any major issues today. The wife is ...

is finally suppose to stop blustering.

I suppose now the flies will really be bad.
They are awful. I use feed through, fly spray and balm, stall spray, and trap.
Nothing works?

I have a super long day today. All the regular volunteer ...

My friend and I took the boys for a really long ride today.
We rode up to R&C's to check on things. They will be back from a trip tomorrow.
We saw 8 hogs, not good.

And since we were halfway down the road towards the cabin we decided ...

A day to remember what many sacrificed so that we can live as comfortably as we do. So often we take our freedoms for granted and we forget the ones who made it possible.
Now, on a lighter more horsey note, I took Whisper out on the road late yesterday ...

I had a three day migraine and it's finally gone.
This weather is culprit. We have high winds for a week and not ending until perhaps Tuesday.

My friend Amy is back and we did a ride Wednesday.
Pilot is doing better, able to get in and ...

Most of my have to do list is done for the month.

Yesterday was Board meeting and election.
Today I picked up cattle feed. Still waiting on next new calf.

This coming Monday I chair the Resource Team meeting.

I missed the Preakness ...

Watched The Preakness Saturday. Another interesting race. Like many others I was fixated on Bodexpress after he threw his rider, who was thankfully unhurt. He just kept on running, in fact, he did the whole track TWICE. As the race was taking place my ...

Ssso tired.
The rain held off last evening so C and I snuck in a ride.
I wasn't feeling like getting on the big old boy Tex and chose Sarcee.
Of course she decided to be in a running mood.
It was fun anyway. C wanted to leg up a horse ...

Volunteer day.
My friend Dianne and I are the only two volunteers from open to close today.
I also need to go to Help Center at noon.
And check on my dad at noontime and on my way home after 5.
I hope my feet and legs hold up.

Have ...

Another storm last night.
Only a quarter inch but too wet again for turnout.
Everyone got out yesterday.

I took Tonto out to graze on lead after he had a nice bath.
I feel bad for him.
Thought about getting one of these plastic portable ...

Happy Mother's Day!
Jet's birthday. He is 21.
And best of all it is FINALLY sunny.

We have had rain all week.
I know we always need it but we are finally saturated.

Long hard week for me taking care of everything with Pilot ...

With the days longer and a couple of days of no rain, I have been leaving the horses out longer. Less cleaning in the stalls that way and they are free to do as they wish outside. A major rain event moved in around dark last night. Guess another day in ...

Thunderstorms all around us.
It sounded like a big one was going hit us about 3am this morning but it slid past.
We are still wet from last week's 2 inches.

Barely dry enough for horses to be turned out but because I am short on hay they ...

I won't get to watch.
Wednesday morning My Dad called and I had to rush him to the ER.
Emergency surgery, bowel blockage.
Good grief he could have gone on Friday when we asked him.
Instead he had to nearly die by drowning in his own waste ...

Once again we have rain. I guess there are parts of the country that need it. This is currently not one of them. The mares are loving the green grass coming on. Whisper does not like rain much so they are in today. If it warms up they might go out. @ ...

My mare is (should be) 10 months pregnant. Shes due in 4-5 weeks. I did have her preg checked by a veteranarian. He told me that she was "far enough along that palpating should be enough." He also confirmed by palpation that she was in foal ...

Hey everyone my mare is due to foal around the end of May and I was looking for some name ideas. I need both a registered name and a barn name. I would like it to incorporate both the sire and dams name. Sire is Excalibur’s Dark Knight and Dam is She ...
