The weather here turned bitter cold a few days ago and Alex picked night before last to unplug her stock tank heater. By the time we noticed it last night the tank had a VERY thick layer of ice and poor Alex thought she was dying of thirst! We ran s…

The horse in this video remind of the Psymbol horses so much that I had to share. This is exactly the reaction Alex would have too!

Ronni, I am glad your dog will to be OK. And...it seems like you got lucky that pilot light did not just blow you out of the RV!

There really hasn't been much going on lately so I haven't posted but this was too strange not to share. Yesterday morning Alex was invaded! A huge flock of what we're guessing to be at least 1000 Starlings landed in the pasture. Alex wasn't quite…

Alex had a farrier appointment Thursday so Dalton and I went over a little early so he could ride her some more. It was hotter than we realized though and we were all cranky (especially Alex!) so we didn't do much. I put the bridle on her but she wa…

After a week of cold and rain I woke up this morning to a glorious sunny day and I had nothing that I absolutely HAD to do. Okay, so I need to do laundry and clean the house but those can wait, I couldn't pass up the chance to go play with Alex! I'…

Fish sticks?

The weather here turned bitter cold a few days ago and Alex picked night before last to unplug her stock tank heater. By the time we noticed it last night the tank had a VERY thick layer of ice and poor Alex thought she was dying of thirst! We ran some water on top of the ice and she guzzled away and we got the tank heater plugged back in so it could start thawing from the bottom up.

It wasn't really that big of a deal until an hour or so later I remembered that we still had 5 goldfish living i… Continue

The birds...

There really hasn't been much going on lately so I haven't posted but this was too strange not to share.

Yesterday morning Alex was invaded! A huge flock of what we're guessing to be at least 1000 Starlings landed in the pasture. Alex wasn't quite sure what to make of this but she did her part in trying to chase them away. She didn't succeed, they would fly and then land again. This went on for a while and then the birds all left. We saw them fly over again yesterday evening but they didn't lan… Continue

Second ride

Alex had a farrier appointment Thursday so Dalton and I went over a little early so he could ride her some more. It was hotter than we realized though and we were all cranky (especially Alex!) so we didn't do much. I put the bridle on her but she was annoying me with her non-stop open mouthed chewing on the bit so I took it back off and we went with a halter and lead again. I really think I'm going to find one of those new bitless bridles that I've heard so much about.

He got on her with just t… Continue

First Ride

After a week of cold and rain I woke up this morning to a glorious sunny day and I had nothing that I absolutely HAD to do. Okay, so I need to do laundry and clean the house but those can wait, I couldn't pass up the chance to go play with Alex!

I've had this niggling thought that my 10 year old nephew is small enough that he would make a perfect candidate to help me further Alex's training by being the first to get on her. It also helps that he is fearless and loves horses. ;-P So I called him… Continue

Tightening the fence...

It doesn't look like we're going to get anther section of wood fencing in this summer so we needed to do something to reinforce the old wire fence. We still had a bunch of green metal posts from when we took down the fence around the neighbors pasture. So today Tom and Cam went out and added a bunch of new posts to the existing fence. They shortened the distance between each post to about 4 feet and clipped the wire on. This should make it a lot harder for Alex to work the wires loose and work h… Continue
