Family Thanksgiving

The family Thanksgiving was great. We got home, stuffed to the gills, and did chores. Came in to relax. Kept hearing the dogs go off but didn't see anything.  Even the inside dogs. It was weird. Then a pickup stopped in front of the house and said the horses were out and headed up the hill onto conservation.  Well we take off with flashlights and headed up the hill, dogs in tow. Wes went and got the pickup. Yes I know, no motorized vehicles up on conservation but this was an emergency.  He found them grazing in an opening. Turns out that it's the entire herd. The gate chain broke and they all took off. They stayed together but wouldn't follow the feed bucket so we went back to the house leaving the stock dogs with the horses. I grabbed my saddle, bridle, leadropes, halters...etc. saddled up faith but she's developed heaves I believe  so that didn't last long. Put hater on her and handed her to Wes to lead. I caught Royal and we started walking to the house. Yep truck up in a field. Turns out the others not only followed but ran ahead of us. They waited at the bottom of the hill for us and when we caught up they headed into the yard and over to the opened gate and went in and headed for the water tank. It actually turned out easier than I thought. Got them put up and got in the suv to go get the truck. Thankfully it was warmish outside. It just sucked that it was pitch dark. It was an eventful evening.  

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was yesterday and it was just me and Wes. I have 4 days off work which is a greatly needed break. Tomorrow is the family Thanksgiving.  

I'm not feeling real good today. Bought some honey for my throat. It really works. I think I need a nap. 

I have been at my vet tech job 3 months now. I will never work anywhere else. I love it there. 

Rebel

Rebel found his forever home at a fancy riding/schooling stable. He is a Christmas present for a girl who is an exceptional rider. He will also bloom to his full potential which he has so much of. 

Kai went to Texas to be a working ranch horse and Diamond went to a 12 yr old girl to be her 4H horse and show her. 

Spartan belongs to a good friend.  

Still haven't gotten my title for my new to me SUV. 

Rebel

I did something I never thought I'd do a month ago. I sold Rebel. I sold him to someone I really trust abd they retrained him and boy did they do an awesome job. He will be rehomed but to only a very approved home. I cried today for the first time when I saw him for sale. I knew this was going to be the case and thought I was prepared for it....I wasn't.  I did get up, go outside, grab my tack and headed to the roundpen.  Newt met me at the gate so he was the one I rode. I  can describe him in one word....EASY!  This boy looks so handsome but all tacked up he is gorgeous. He was perfect considering he's 3 years old and doesn't know much. He picks thing up quickly though. 

There were no shenanigans of any kind. He is a doll. Rio is the same way. I need more ride time. Anyway, the ride did me some good. It's been what I've needed for a while now. 

I've not been the same since I lost my Loki. That one hurt so bad. I hate the fucking people who did it. They will get their just rewards. That's a promise. My anger grows daily so it would be in their best interest to not come anywhere near me....EVER.  I'll need bail money. 

I'm trying to move forward. 

I sold 4 horses so I'm down to a number I haven't been at in a long time. There will be no more foals. Ice and Royal are my born here horses. I'm seriously considering selling my 4 miniature horses.  

I'm rearranging my arena too. I'm going to try and ride every nice day this winter.
