Todays Funny
Laugh of the day:
Apparently I'm very paranoid about the horses and can't count. Hadn't seen them all day so stepped outside and whistled as they know a certain whistle that I do means come up. So here came a stampede of horses so I count as they come in. I counted twice and came up one short, or so I thought. I gave a quick look and couldn't find Belle so on with the mud boots and out to walk the pasture. Didn't go in by the barn and count just lit out to find her. She's in her 20's so of course I thought the worst. Twisted knee and all, walked the whole place, no Belle so then walked back to the barn, there was Belle looking at me like why you out there hollering my name? I right here mom. Yeah ok so I can't count. Everyone accounted for. Next time I'll just go over to the barn and recount instead of walking entire place hollering like an idiot!
Post script: Pistol and Belle look just alike except for boy parts. Both bay, face markings just alike.
I do love to see them all run up when they hear their special whistle.

Baby Boy
Little ones Momma Diva left to go to her new home on Friday September 4, 2020. He turned 4 months old today September 6, 2020 and got to be turned out with his big brother Tonka and Trick. He took up immediate with his brother. He's done exceptionally well with weaning. He does spend his nights and early mornings in his stall to get all his breakfast and dinner.
He will be gelded next summer.
Trying out a few names on him but haven't decided on one yet. Considering Sunny since he is a gleaming Champagne overo or Dusty. Yes it's simple but oh well. He is a loveable wonderful colt and I'm lucky enough to have have he and his brother out of Hotshot Ashwood. Hotshot did an excellent job with color. Always wanted a foal out of him now I have 2. Previous owner will not release papers on him because I refuse to sell him to her. That's fine. He's mine and always will be. So take the papers and shove them. I have the best colt ever born here.
His mom needed a lot of training and went to a really good home to start her training. She came to me as a pregnant coming 3 year old, which in my book, is just way to young.
He is all legs and going to be exceptional as he has been very imprinted from birth and was one of ghose that were born loving human contact.
He got to be turned out with his brother Tonka and his mentor Trick for the first time today. He immediately took up with his brother. I have such high hopes for my babies that we currently have, which are him as a eeaninling, 2 yearling dunskin full brothers and a couple 2 year olds.
My herd is complete after all these years. I'm very blessed and grateful for each and every one of them.
Happy 4 month birthday baby boy.
He is a very special boy and a jr version of his sire. He's everything the breeder was breeding for but when you don't even bother to tell me the mare is bred and due about a month and a half after I purchase her then shame on you. M a de it clear they didn't like the dam at all.
He is the whole package for sure. I'm usually not a Champagne fan but boy do I love him. He has his sires personality and is, in fact, a jr version of his sire. He has his sires sound mind and wants to please.
He will never be for sale. I was told to nsme my price....there isn't one.
Now to settle on his name.
He sure had fun today.

Trick Tonight
My incredibly brave and strong boy tonight. Weight looking great, face looking great and the strength this boy showed in the last four months, the war he fought just proves everything I've always loved about this boy, my boy, my go to horse. He was yhere for me on so many occasions over the years. I was blessed with his determination and my gift of being able to help him when he needed me most. I love him more ghat anyone could understand and we have a bond that will be stronger than it ever was before. It was strong then, it's even stronger now. I promised to always be there for him. I don't love my others less, just differently. Twelve years together with many more to come.
Thank you Trick for not leaving me. My heart would have been shattered. So many won't understand this.
Weight is finally coming on more rapidly and face is healing better without fly mask rubbing on it constantly.
It's nice to see his plumpness returning which means more of the nutrition is going to his body and less to healing, telling me his healing is almost complete.
