Okay, I need to defend myself! LOL To be fair, he was curled up in a tight ball in the barn and I didn't know if he was feral or friendly but stuck my hand down there anyway... picked him up, he wasn't sure what to do, took a quick peek under the tail, took him to the house for something to eat...

Any suggestions? This past Thursday, I stepped in a hole while longeing a horse (so moving somewhat quickly with purpose and not watching where I was going), and sprained my ankle badly. I am on crutches right now - the DR suggested stay off for 10 days and ice daily - foot and ankle is still...

Why, the lollipop patch, of course. :) Just kidding... reeeeeeeeeally slow at work and I have read every single BB in the world already.

I didn't get a chance to read all of the posts, but I should point out you don't necessarily need a draft. Though I am a pretty balanced rider, I have in the past (and still do I think but am working on a plan where I work my butt out for an hour a day and only weigh once a month) tipped the...

Interesting opinion to say the least.... Precisely why I know what I do with my animals, and I share, but I don't try to force my beliefs and values down the throats of anyone. With human vs animal, it comes down to RIGHT. It is a human "right" to reproduce (though I have to say I think...

Oh my sister dear... you know how I feel about this. You're going to have your hands more than full with Zoey and Muggie in barn training this winter - nevermind the piles of homework you have had all year so far and the skiing we plan to get done! The entire situation with the current owners...

Hi guys, AP's older sister here. Thought I could shed a little bit of light on this situation.... As far as the vet situation - our previous vet, who was both a large animal vet provincially and had a small animal practice on his own terms (outside of provincial hours) did, in fact, retire...

kad, I have been considering having the vet come here... though she loves car rides so much that provided that she still has mobility, we might go that way. Nonetheless, our small animal vet is also our horse vet and is employed by the province and comes to our farm on a semi regular basis... I...

About when it is time to let your elderly canine friends cross the Rainbow Bridge, assisted. Please let me preface this by saying that I have been thinking EXTENSIVELY about this over the last couple of years. My 'elder dane' as I call her, Sarah, is 12 years old. While she still enjoys a...

I have the 10$ rip off version. :-D In orange. Haha. Drove everyone I was with all winter nuts, but I work in an office environment and I have boots to wear to the horse and agility barns. I learned my lesson about running agility in crocs though when I sprained my foot and dealt with...

Yeah, and you have to keep after him, too. If you just leave him be for any period of time, he'll completely forget everything. *insert eye roll here* I know he's way smarter than that, but his momma acted stupid for the first three years of her life, sooo... For example - he's had a couple...

LOL, and some other things I didn't really want. We're working on a few behavioural issues now... it's my own fault that I haven't cracked down on him and demanded more respect before this point, so I am taking my lumps, needless to say. Especially as he is a stallion prospect - if he's to be...

I am quite partial to miniature australian shepherds, but that's just me. :-D I suppose Morrie is more laid back than the norm, though, or .. apparantly (??), though I've never had any dogs that were execptionally energetic. Their energy is more fun and goofy than a border collie or a...

A couple of people I have talked with have suggested that this is the "big melt" from the ice age, things will melt, freeze again and start allll over again. I am not sure what I think, but WHAT HARM IS IT to take care of our environment now, whether global warming is "a real issue" or not...

I have been wearing Crocs all winter. I HATE GIVING UP MY SANDALS. My two favorite seasons are flip flop wearing weather and mitten wearing weather. :-D Can't wait to buy me some flipflops, but as we've just recieved 12" of snow, maybe not so soon.... :-D

Note that none of these are particularly lovely angles nor was I doing much but snapping shots as I chased him off, sooo... Channelling an arab. :-D He's got that wild eyed look!

Rex's first birthday. To celebrate I chased him around the pasture with a lunge whip for 20 minutes... just kidding.. he's recently been seperated from the rest of the gang as he's starting to act studdy and he will stand outside the door when he does get outside time waiting for them, which as...

interesting, for sure. I definitely believe in that sort of thing... several of the photos that I took of Rex directly after my mare died had orbs in them... I like the idea that they're sticking around, watching over me. I like to think of it more in that sense than in the sense that they...

Haha, I am projecting it's going to take at least a couple more evenings to finish editing and uploading all of the pictures from my trip. I took a LOT! Plus there is, of course, the ponies and such. I am going to be busy preparing pictures for everyone to see!

Haha, sometimes it takes someone truly awful to make you feel good about yourself, sad but true. Happens to me all the time with my horses - re: feeding, handling, training, etc. I'm happy to say my horses are fat, respectful and well trained for what age/personality they are/have... but people...
