Hello Tuffy, good to hear from you. Sorry about the pony, but its great that you are going to work with the beautiful paint filly. Your lost of your Tuffy was very hard on you and I am glad to hear you have an interest again. It took me a few years to get over the lost of my Appaloosa gelding before I even thought about getting another one.
In June I did buy a Peruvian gelding and have been camping and trail riding quite a bit. Mostly, haul by myself, but I did meet some people and have someone to ride with now. The kids showed all summer and Alison did very well again.
I signed up at the other thread and do check in over there. It’s really nice, but I miss the daily activity here.
Take care.
Hi guys, it’s good to hear from you, even if it’s such sad news.
Tuffy - I’m so sorry about George. Really glad you still have the black and white - Mina(?) - she’s just so beautiful.
Hair, man I’m sorry about Pony, you guys tried so hard on her. I’m glad she had you, it more than made up for her bad start in life.
Past year here has been kinda hard. We had to put Buddy, Bob’s queensland down, he went totally blind and wasn’t doing well physically or mentally with the blindness.
Then Sonny’s cancer came back with a vengence and we had to put him down - right after that Farah cracked her leg and she had to be put down. Guess you know those two left a huge hole in my heart. I haven’t been out to the barn since.
We still have Prez, Indy, Lace, Friday and CJ - they are all doing fine. And I still have my queensland, Zuni - she is partially blind but it doesn’t seem to bother her at all. Just last week she was moving range cattle out of the way so I could hunt for arrowheads.
Garden grew like gangbusters this year. We are due for a freeze tonight, tomorrow night and Thursday night. I’m hoping covering it partially with tarps will keep my tomatoes and peppers safe.
Hair, I’ll get over to your board here eventually I promise. Talking horses is kind of a bummer for me right now.
MissTargets - Tuffy went to an ApHC show the end of August here in Carson City. Beat the big guys, qualified for the world again, this time hunter in hand. Guess he’s a keeper.
Take care every one.
