after a long absence, I am here. Not sure where I left off so, Banker is no longer with me. He was almost blind, losing weight, and Jade was threatening to push him over the cliff. I made the hard choice and had him put to sleep.
Someone on MFT rescue posted a link to a little mare in Tenn. She reminded me of Whisper. I foolishly posted she could live here if I could afford the trucking. Got some quotes. She arrived June 20. Three weeks of white snot coming from her nose and eyes but no fever or swollen glands and she is now healthy. I named her Contessa, Tessa for short.
A friend of many years needed a horse to trail ride with her daughter...She met Jade. Loved her. Borrowed her. Says she is fabulous. She will live with her until my friend can no longer ride and then return to me.
Tessa likes being the only child. I have yet to ride her, first it was get her healthy. Then get some weight on her. Now to get someone here with 911 on speed dial so I can try her out. She is good. Hated a bit when I tried a bridle on her so I tried my bitless...she must have had one before since she was perfect with it.
Health wise, I am getting things under control...less stress helps. Emotionally, on a better path. Now to get the physical back up to a better place.
Have missed all of you.
This is Tessa. Oh, stupidly got a dog around Christmas. Cute little puppy. Now a brute of a dog but she is finally house trained and seems to love me. Got her a harness and now we can actually walk without her pulling my shoulders out of joint...such enthusiasm.
Glad to be back.
