Yes, I am having LOADS of fun! doing mare care for a horse being bred to my stallion, but though the owner said she's always "friendly", I find her not to be in season, kicking stall, etc. trying to get away from him. When she's ready, I'll know, but in the meantime, she wants to be taken out to a dinner and movie first....
So I'm keeping her in the riding arena to be friends with my other 11, so she's not too lonely. Nice to be with the girls (and geldings) until you're ready to have a boyfriend, LOL

Please say prayers for C from T's husband. He is a great guy, and I'm not sure of the details, but he has been in the hospital maybe with a heart condition. Speedy recovery, hope everything gets resolved!

Debbi, I am so sorry about Drizzit- I have been there 4 times or so, and "Sunny" was the one I was crying for over a week about. Its so very hard, especially the ones we are closest to and the ones that gave us the most unconditional love. Hugs.

Wow Debbi, that gelding is out of Wapiti? Niiiiiiiiiiccceeeeeeeeeeee.
I got an 8 ft. rake for the back of our tractor so I can just rake it all up - also leaves and pine needles too and leave it in a pile where my next years raised beds will be. I am a lazy composter. Not much in the stalls - my stalls are only for boo-boos or separating or weaning and such.

Yup. I put on a pot of water to boil, go out and pick some ears, peel them and give the leftovers and peels to the horses and put the corn in the boiling water - then Heaven...

Beth, I stall my horses when they have boo-boos to be attended to daily, or trying to train them, do round pen or manners, whatever. If I don't keep an eye on them while switching out horses or whatever, they eat my corn.
Last year the opossums got the last of my cantelope and watermelon and my sister-in-law said it was the sweetest cantelope she'd ever had. I was so mad.
I guess I will have to get traps.? Is that what you did with your corn?

Pat, do you mean blood meal? I hadn't heard of that. I have bone meal. ?

Please make a rhubarb/strawberry pie!!!
The man I just sold Bright N Might Flag to called to say he did what I said and separated her so she could acclimate to her 2 yr old Palomino stud first. Well, he called to say she was in the yard and watched her "clear the Cyclone fence" completely. How tall are they? I don't have one. Anyhow, I gave him all the history on the 23 Hall of Fame horses in her lines. I love the stories and the versatility. Mostly all Western/Rodeo champs, but my studs dams sire was Studyhall, a Rolex Champion. I did tell him English/Western, whatever granddaughter decides. I've seen him jump a high fence to get at his herd, (during breeding season) but never seen the mares do it. She apparently wanted in with the Palomino, ha ha ha. Well, Valentines day is coming up!

Oh yes, you must make rhubarba Strawberry pie! I want some.
You know how I told ya'll I sold my Bright N Mighty Flag the other day. The guy has cows and a 2 year old Palomino stud he wants to breed her to. I told him about the 23 Hall of Fame Horses in their lines and gave him copies of the stories and histories so his granddaughter could take her in whatever direction she wanted, right? English, Western, whatever. I told him to keep her separated for a while to let them get acclimated first. He said his yard has a cyclone fence and he watched her clear it. So I want to know how high that cyclone fence is, I don't have one. My studs dams sire was Studyhall, the Rolex Champion, but everyone else was Rodeo and endurance and racing Triple Crown way back in the 6th generation. Nothing is close up, so it doesn't count. I still like to know the history behind the names.
And I LOVE LOVE LOVE brussell sprouts! With lots of apple cider vinegar on them. Love fried chicken livers, but liver with onions doesn't do anything for me.

Pat you have a cellar. I am jealous!
We don't stall, so most of the pasture we rake up is already composted but it still goes in a row with leaves and pine needles and gobs of egg shells, coffee grounds and fruit and vegetable clippings. Then the next year thats my next row. they are 118 feet long each. And I'm a lazy composter, I would turn a pile over, so I just leave it lay where I want next years raised bed. LOL.

Junie, I wish I had some rhubarb. My aunt taught me how to make strawberry-rhubarb pie. Yum!

Well, I have been working on a 2 acre garden. No need to say more. Except, Oh, my aching back and everything else connected to it, LOL!
I sold Bright N Mighty Flag yesterday. So sad to see her go, but thats what I do - hubby says I have to get used to it. She's going to a nice little girl that is so smart and just loves on her, so I'm happy. Oh well, you know how it goes. OTHER family members (not horse people) say - sell those horses! And I say, I do - I sold 3 in 2007 but none in 2008- but there at still 7 that I won't sell. And they think I'm crazy.....
Don't they know thats the secret to my garden? ha ha ha ha ha
