I own the slowest, laziest horse in the barn. Maybe I’ll be in for a treat tonight!<br /><br />What pictures did you enter in the fair? I entered a couple in the fair here. Got second and third, but then I realized when I went to see them…that almost every picture had a second and third sticker on them. Won a whole five dollars! Woohoo!

Laz..my summer calm pony has been replaced by a proud snake necking stallion who wants to run and spook! Blah. Turnout is key though..can she get more? If not, use the time you have with her to work her on the ground-give it a good 30-45 (or whtever u are allowed) and see if u can end it by riding at the walk for even 5 minutes. It helps!!Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-88591404973035379792010-09-09T08:40:34.106-07:002010-09-09T08:40:34.106-07:00There must have been something in the air yesterda...There must have been something in the air yesterday, Honey wanted to GO big time, and she is usually pretty lazy, lol. Try to stay positive and don't give up! Everything is going to work out with Denali. <br /><br />As for that truck fire, that is nuts! Looks like you WERE ment to be 5 minutes later! You should be pretty proud, you might have saved their lives!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-21571264489285051362010-09-09T07:42:59.309-07:002010-09-09T07:42:59.309-07:00The 'what ifs' are so hard to deal with so...The 'what ifs' are so hard to deal with sometimes. They worm their way into your head and then you can't get rid of them. <br /><br />Y'all are getting cool weather? Still in the 90s here. =P<br /><br />By the way, sounds like you were a hero for those guys! If you hadn't stopped them, and they hadn't noticed that the truck was on fire, I don't even want to think about those possibilities. Congrats, hero!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04543086831039313707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-976295428120365562010-09-09T07:15:49.817-07:002010-09-09T07:15:49.817-07:00I live in the PNW as well.

SO yes, either it's a dark bay TB mare thing or it's the weather ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-69283814776072914282010-09-09T05:24:21.295-07:002010-09-09T05:24:21.295-07:00Mine is a handful too now that the weather is star...Mine is a handful too now that the weather is starting to change (70s and 80s instead of high 90s). Doesn't help that she can only get a couple hours in a little 24x24 paddock. This horse used to gallop laps around the 5-acre pastures just because she wanted to. <br /><br />I think I'm going to keep her on Reserpine though for a long time, at lesat until she's cleared to start cantering. Horses can blow through Ace, which who knows if Denali might do, but I wouldn't risk it for riding purposes, hand walking, absolutely. Panache is on daily oral Reserpine, it's apple flavored so she eats her pill straight out of my hand and we never got the diarrhea issue. Keeps her pretty mellow, alert and conscious to her surroundings but not reactive. Might be something to use again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321118722150772797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-82450215496520043022010-09-08T23:07:54.429-07:002010-09-08T23:07:54.429-07:00Hey, all it takes is a little cool weather to turn...Hey, all it takes is a little cool weather to turn the most even keeled horse into a galloping maniac...don't even worry about that. She WILL calm down, as soon as she's getting the exercise and turnout she needs when she is healthy:)<br />Honestly, I think proper turnout for a horse (whatever that might be for the individual-for some horses it's 12 hours out, 12 hours in a stall, for others it's out all the time) will work WONDERS. You guys will get there:) Keep breathing, and being brave! She will thank you for it:)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08665170020323796310noreply@blogger.com
