What Else?

What else, you ask?  It's been one of those weeks.  Annie, my paint mare, did a Shamu imitation in the pasture.  She was galloping full tilt, tripped and fell, sliding across the green grass.  Ouch...  Couple of days later.... you guessed it... lame.  Then the hotwalker broke.  Hubby had a long explanation about splines and whatchamacallits, but end result is that it does not work.  Team sorting last night.  Great!  I'll just take Sparkey, my buckskin.  Drum roll please.....  He's lame in a back leg.  Don't know what he did, little warm and puffy, not life threatening.  I hope that the rule of 3's is true and we are done.

Today, off to Reno so see hubby's son and go out to lunch.  Yippee!  I hope....

Tune in later for more at "Broken Acres"....

Oh goodness. Isn't always something? We go thru the same thing here, the stuff horses do to themselves. I had my old mare do the run, fall and slide too recently, scared me to pieces. Hope things get better soon and you have a glorious HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

It has been one of those weeks, hasn't it. Your's sounds just delightful. I won't bore you with mine, but it's nice to know I wasn't the only one having a sucky week.

Keeping fingers, toes and eyes crossed that next week will be better.

Holy Cow! I hope your trip to Reno was uneventful- but as I look outside I see rain and thunder clouds- that means snow in the mountains- and I know how much you love that!
I'm just chillin' with my puppy and waiting for the sun to shine...

LOL! My horses were always into something. Sent them to my dad, not ONE thing! Why is that? Hope the rest of your week goes smoothly.
