Gairid--I just saw those black pinstripe petunias you posted about a while back, and I was enchanted. If I get a bit a land, I'm getting some of those ( Read more... )

Today is my lovely grand dame of the farm Rachel's 27th birthday! Happy Birthday Sweet Pea! I wish I was there to hug my little girl and give her birthday treats. That will come tomorrow ( Read more... )

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!

I for some reason, decided to suddenly buy a day of using the Arab Datasource site and found out some interesting things.

First, Irish's breeders still have horses. And seem to be still alive? I want to write them!

So Mom had hay delivered last weekend from some Standardbred guy that had an ad in the paper, sight unseen cause the brake lines broke on her car. A lot of it was moldy and bad.

Tuesday I got to ride my horse. Both of us were creaky and stiff afterwards, I think the passing storms weren't helping. I thought about getting someone else out, but Mom suggested I get on "The Wildair Mare" and it was probably for the best. Rachel is the best trail horse we have, plus we know and trust each other more than anyone else, I'm her ( Read more... )

Now our poor Tennessee Walker Gen-Gen has pneumonia too, not just the parents. The new vets sent out a young woman instead of our usual horse vet, who was out of state. Mom asked her if it could have been passed from her to the horse or vice versa, but the vet said it was impossible. It must have blown in on the wind. There are two farms with ( Read more... )
