The updated pictures to the who's who page posted early in the last thread, I apologize are not done yet... Have to remind my honey and sweet-talk him a little this weekend.
Continuing prayers and good thoughts for Tuffydoodle... who is struggling to give her tuffy another try at the clinic today. He's been struggling with pain and lameness for a long time now, and we hope the best for him in the days to come.
Hi Hair,
Please remove me from the saddle club ping list. Nothing personal, just don't have time to participate.
Best regards,

We are new horse owners. I have a 4 yo QH mare (Chickie) and
my wife's is a 9 yo QH mare (Sugar).
Chickie managed to get tangled in barbed wire and cut herself so she's taking some time off and enjoying her new
digs (Gainesville Tx). I am going to outrage the neighbors
and ride her English style (wife says she doesn't know me;-)
Noones ever seen a cutter work with an English rig before
(should provide lots of amusement for the locals)..
Hearing about all those precious horses today in the New Jersy fire got me thinking about my little pony, and I realized I haven't posted in some time. An update just to let you know I didn't just up and die...
I peek in here everyday when I get a chance, but I've barely had time lately to post, and then it's sually late at night to prayer threads. We've been finalizing our yearly ag plans, and it looks like we're going to need to leave our big pasture (the one where I had planned to paddock Ranger) in hay production this next year. It's just too rare in Texas and with our drought-stricken neighbors clamoring for more hay, we've decided we'll hay it out this year and keep Ranger in my neighbor's pasture next door with his buddies for now.
We feed him everyday separately and work with him in the round pen, and he's socializing really well. Halter work has started, but the fun's been tempered by the fact that some of Ranger's pasture buddies are the ornriest pregnant mares I've ever met. They aren't just mean, they're **tchy. They bite and chase the stallions, and they nearly run everybody out of the pasture. Fortunately, they don't seem to care about Ranger one way or another, but I am going to ask if he could be relocated to the pasture next to them instead. I haven't met these mares before pregnancy (Ranger was put in with them three weeks ago) but neighbor says they are usually gentle. Perhaps it's just the late pregnancy blues, but I think they're just evil. Of course, they aren't MY babies... but they better not bite MY baby, Ranger.
Anyhoo, here's to hay. I hope we got enough rain to produce some. We're going to donate 10% to ranchers affected by wildfire, save some for Ranger, and share the rest of the roundbales with our neighbors as needed. If I have any extra to sell after that, that'd be nice too...
But first, feed the horsies!
Great pics, Hair. Reminds me of the Ozark Trail.
I will be driving up to ride with my cousin on the OT last of April. As I do every year.
Takes me about fourteen hours from here in the Hill Country of Texas to southeast Missouri.
I usually overnight on the way.
I just set 86 fence posts.
I did have help.
But still... A little sympathy anyone?
Please ping me on these threads. I love them!
Does anyone have any news on the Belmont Stakes? on the odds or PRE race tv coverage?
