I had my Lol Of The Week yesterday. So while I was grooming Snickers, I noticed that his manly parts are Unnaturaly Clean - and he is quite a messy gelding that needs his sheath cleaned on a regular basis! While I was wondering upon how he got himself that clean, another boarder, that is more experienced than I am, approached us and started laughing after a quick observation of my "problem". It appears that Snickers has had some naughty times with one of the mares - who would have thought! Although he is quite studdy for a gelding that was gelded as a yearling,
^^ Oh my gosh!! Thats worrying! Speaking of that....we castrated 12 colts today(in saying WE, I mean the Vet came out and castrated the colleges foals)
He has been checked by a vet and he should be fully gelded, so no problems should arise. After all, there are geldings that still keep their instincts, even after losing their manhood. So I don't mind him having a little fun.
But, if the unbelievable happens, I will be more than glad to keep the foal, lol.
Cheyenne's last show EVER is on Saturday. :'( After that we'll retire her and I'll ride Maverick...Cheyenne'll still have a gymkhana in September and October probably but she's done her share of shows in the past two years, I'm sure we'll have a great time at this next one and she can finish off before retirement doing things she loves the most: 1) Racing 2) Being in the field
Aw, Cheyennes mom, but you can be proud that she had the chance to show with you and now will get a retirement well earned! I believe that she will rather enjoy that, too.
Lucky Pinto!!
Rode a 16.2hh bareback the other day in a headcollar and v short leadrope- she wouldn't stand by the gate to lemme on so I had to get on Flicka to get on her- scary!!
I'm looking at you through the glass; don't know how much time has passed. Oh, god, it feels like forever, but no one ever tells you that forever feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head.
How do you feel? That is the question. But I forget You don't expect an easy answer.
Tomorrow my instructor and I are going out to see a horse! This is the first horse that I'm actually going out to see, and I'm pretty excited to just go out and try him, even if I don't end up with him- it just makes it more real, that I am going to have my own horse soon(ish).
I've met him before, he came to a clinic that I was also at, but I can't really remember what he looked like!
Of course, I don't have anybody to go with me to take video or pictures, which is a shame, because I would like to be able to look back on them after I'm out of the heat of the moment and see from the ground how we are together.
Bahah funny punching match in the dinner line at college with Deano, tackling each other and nearly on the ground when the Duty Officer comes up and we just stop and pretend were hugging each other!! Next minute you hear "Dean and Ellen, end of the line for flirting in the lunch line!" Were just like wtf? He saw us punching and sent us to the end for hugging? BAHAH!! College never seems to stop being fun Gonna miss my friends and my two bull riding boys in the holidays :'( Good luck to my two besties for going to America to ride bulls!!
Wow! Horse show today and all I can think about is how much Cheyenne and I have improved. Compare this (September):
and this:
To this (today):
and this:
SO much improvement!
Today was Cheyenne's LAST SHOW EVER. She's 29 years old and we're retiring her in September. Doesn't look 29 years old does she? Anyway, I'll miss her but I'm switching to a new horse named Maverick. He'll be an amazing show horse for me! He can jump like 4 feet high (even though he's only 15hh) and he gives me a good challenge but he's SO willing to learn. I love working with him so I hope I'm not too disappointed to switch in September.
We need to go grocery shopping, what are the staples that you get when you go?
I want to get plenty of things to make a bunch of different meals from that are fairly easy to make. like pasta dishes, stuff to grill, side dishes, etc. i run out of ideas lol. receipes/ideas/suggestions would be great!
