ok. Those of you who dont know, I gave ruby to a trainer in eugene. she became to dangerous for me and i was worried about my son getting in her way and her biting his face off or ramming him into a wall wich would be grounds for me shooting her in the head.
i picked up a new horse... she is wonderful! alot sweeter, just as high strung but had a way better start to her and i can put her in her place and i dont feel bad about it.
her name is smash n chocolatte aka vixen. she is a cute 15.3 hands tall probably close to 1200 lbs when full weight and cute as a button!!
pictures to come

HOWEVER she aparently had an abscess that blew out tuesday night when i worked her.... ouchy is all i have to say, because it blew out half of the sole of her right forehoof... ouch ouch ouch... no wonder she was a butt on the ground... she is hurting!
so I will keep you all posted!
keep it sleezy!

money money money

I hate money. I hate everything about it. I hate moving, i hate not having my dog live with me i had not having a my durango operating properly.

I hate Barn managers that act like druggies and beat my horse with whips.
thats right, they hit my horse in the face with a whip every time she pins her ears at them... thus making her even more angry than before.. it really is a no win situation concidering i have made all this progress with her just to have them fuck up and hurt her setting me back a long ways....
so now i have to move both mares and my gelding.... this is always a good time

on the bright side my son is officially walking today!!

spencer come home and bring me my keys so the guy can come fix my durango!!!!!!!!!!!

oh ruby dont take your love to town!

So miss fatty pants had her first set of front shoes put on! and only tried to kick Darren's face off once.... in which shortly (within seconds) there after i commenced to verbally assaulting her worse than her poor horsey heart had ever been asaulted! seriously... i need my farrier!
needless to say... she will never do that again... and it took less than an hour to get them put on!!!
Even if everyone at the barn thinks she is going to kill them... i know better! she just doesnt want to share her stall!
she is doing really well.. just very slow going!
i will post pics soon!!

NOTE THE SARCASM

last night i had a very very startling conversation with a 17 year old claiming to be a horse trainer... who claims to have been the one who started my stud horse shorty. when i picked him up he was maybe 12 hands and half starved... barely ready for me to start. he knew nothing. would not yeild to leg pressure would not take the bit and had no idea what a saddle was. the woman who had him before... angela said she had not even started him and had only taken him to barrel competitions and tied him to the trailer....

so this girl said she started him..... wow... so what i did was absolute crap really...
i didnt have him spinning i didnt have him sliding i didnt have him doing anything... it was all a 17 year old girl...... NOTE THE SARCASM.....

THATS ALL BULLSHIT!
ok im done bitching gitta go

chasing cows!!!!

so the team penning season starts again soon! and miss diamond has not been around cows. tonight i will ride her in the pasture around the reds and see what she is going to do. it could go one of two ways... into the cows, or me on the ground. Now because if certain things that have been going on health wise i would rather stay in the saddle. if i end up on the ground at least it is soft enough i would not get too hurt.

Her owner wants her to pen, thats the glory of it... so in training her i am teaching her a discipline... thus no longer making her a green horse... thats the glory!! she really is a neat horse. all be it... a not so smart one... but a nice all around horse. perfect for bonnie... at times she reminds me of Vanna white... thats what i cal her at the barn... vanna hahah... she turns into a rail horse when i work her and i can quite litterally run her into a wall... she just shuts down... she hates arena work... but is a great trail horse!

Ruby ruby ruby... she murdered the hitching post..... there were no signs posted that said... "DO NOT TIE HORSES TO POST... UNSTABLE....." and instead of trusting my instincts.. i saw the self proclaimed 17 year old horse training wonder, who by the way bruised a mare on the chest... how do you do that? i watched her tie her moms horse and her two year old to it and they were fine... but they were not my skitish little filly Ruby. she pulled back on the post and the whole top pole came flying at her like a 100 mile and hour fast ball... rediculous if you ask me, ONLY because it took me out at the shins.... i flew hahah, swept my legs right out from under me...
nothing serious... just quite comical... due to the fact ruby had the pole tied to her face and her ass planted against the hot wire.. which luckily isnt working very well in that spot... couldnt have been above a 2 because she only flinched when it touched her...
ruby thinks everything is going to eat her. the last trainer who had her must have went at her like a flying mass of yellow jackets... the whip is going to get her.. the cross ties... the brushes.. and last of all the farrier... that will be a fun one... her previous owner... who owns diamond says she is out to get all who proclaim themselves farriers... oops... i dont think darren will like getting his as bitten... we will see what i can do with her

i am feeling much better! my neck still bothers me... but the doc said it will take time to heal... dammit... the one thing i lack the the personal department is patience... when its about me it needs to happen now!!

im out of here like a bad hairdo... cheezy i know...
but its all i got!


peace out homeys!!

blood clots and strokes

so what i thought was a mild muscle strain ended up being a small anuerism and a clot with a torn vertebral artery. wow... thats a mouth full. so im out for at least another week, maybe two. I have no pay coming in, no income whatsoever.... yuck.
i have not been able to ride diamond... i think she is getting flabby.. and ruby has a pot belly from hell im working on....

ruby does join up ok in the round pen, but she is afraid and i dont blame her at all...

ok im off to see why my child wont sleep...

peace out homeys
