He sure has matured into a gorgeous stallion.

Lightning
Well my sweet girl hasn't popped yet. I really do like this mare so much. I can't wait to get her broke to ride. She has taken to me and we have developed a strong bond. I can go out and say come here and she will follow me all over the place. She comes over and gets close to me and loves me to groom her. She grows more special to me every day. I hope we don't have any issues foaling. I watch her closely. She is my girl.

Clint Accident
Yesterday was a horrible day for our family. Especially my daughter. She came very close to losing her husband.
I've known Clint since he was a small child. So he didn't just come into our lives when he met my daughter. So this is hard for me as well.
He was out on their ranger ATV and lost control and it threw him and flipped and landed on him.
He is still in ICU. He was life flighted to the hospital, a level 1 trauma center. He went into surgery at 4:30 pm and came out at 11:00 pm. They had to repair tendon and artery damage and temporarily fix his leg. He has 3 bones sticking out. His arm is going to be ok. This is going to be a long recovery.
Monday he goes back into surgery to repair the inside of his leg and the have to do a skin graft on his leg. They will also remove blood clots from his arm.
He can move his fingers and toes which is an excellent sign. When he is released from the hospital he will go for inpatient physical therapy. Clint will be fine, it's just going to take a while.
Get well soon son. I love you.

General updates
Trick the Dick
Trick is fixing to fine his ass pulled up out of the pasture. He decided to make a real bad decision last night by running diamond out of the/over/through the fence. She is not hurt but was visibly shaking so she is in the small pasture with Cat, Josie, Abby and bolt. I think this weekend they will get turned put and Trick will get brought up for a while for a come to Jesus meeting. I have no idea what prompted him to act like thet to her but I'm about tired of his bullshit attitude.
T-Bone
T-Bone is doing fine. It's weird hearing a moo when all I've had is horses around. He is a cutie but not friendly so eating him will be easier. Seems to be doing well since being off momma. It's almost been a week now. The horses were extremely curious but are now ignoring him.

Worms, worms and more worms
With the recent rain we have night crawlers everywhere and we went out and caught a bunch of them.
I see fishing in the very near future.

Hoot hoot
This is the owl that was right outside my bedroom window last night. It's blurry because the screen was on the window.

Some updates
Lightning is in the maternity turnout now. Her bag is the same as yesterday. I check daily now. She is a really good girl and I love grooming her and she seems to enjoy it.
Abby is improving big time. She got sick, was on antibiotics and we have fought this for a month and now we are on the good side of things. She got to go out to pasture and the green grass I'd helping her greatly. It wasn't her tummy so we are a bit puzzled as to what exactly it was.
But she is doing great now.
Royal is turning out so nice. She is an in your pocket sweetie. Just love her. She is going to be so big. :)

Lightning
I have put Lightning in the birthing area now. Her bag is growing rapidly. I went out and groomed her today and she enjoyed that. I think the foal is in position now and I'm not seeing as much movement now as I was before.
She is 4 years old and she is a very tall very hunky mare. Lots of muscle. She is very sweet and is a very good girl.
We are hoping for a loud buckskin overo filly but will be happy with whatever we get.
Baby soon
