Bought a new horse -- she's a Saddlebred (so her owner said - there were no papers but I didn't care). She's a 7yr mare - a Bay ...... her owner said she was 15.1 hands tall but it's more like 15.3 as she's as big as Shammie. Meg, she DRIVES and RIDES. We "clicked" right from the start -- when this horse, SEDONA, looked at me - straight in the eyes - we were friends right away. (What melted me was that she has "Baby"s big brown eyes ). This horse will NEVER replace "Baby" .... she's not SUPPOSE to replace her ..... just be a horse that is MINE if you know what I mean. We all drove her (the girl had a sort of "Meadowbrook" cart - made out of metal instead of wood but that type of cart). Then I rode her (Gosh she's nice!). She stands perfectly still to be tacked up and/or harnessed ...... she's got patience galore! They had won several trophies and ribbons from driving shows. Just talk to SEDONA and she responds (as does X and Tuffy). I got tickled as the girl was telling me that she had won a class because SEDONA responded to verbal commands right away ... I laughed and told her that ALL my herd over here react like that !! The girl had owned SEDONA since she was a 2 yr old. Shammie ...... the "Queen" has her nose out of joint. Heck, she wouldn't even turn around to get a carrot from me..... she is flat PISSED . Oh well -- she'll get over it when they figure out their pecking order. We didn't have a bit of trouble loading her in the trailer (even though her owner said we would have to "push" her from behind -- we didnt' have to -- she loaded right up. We'll leave her in the stall for a few days -- we tried to "introduce" X to her -- she wouldn't have any part of him and it looked like his feelings were hurt . She made up to Tuffy so we put the Tuf-Man in the stall next to her. She's a lot bigger than X but not as big as "Baby" was = nor as big as PATTI. She has a short back (not long like Sham) but a muscular chest and rump. *I* think she's a bit on the fat side - she could stand to shed a few pounds ... Her name is SEDONA .....pronounced Za-Dough-na ... Just thought I'd tell you of our latest acquisition. I'm so happy that I found another horse I actually "clicked" with. I'd looked around quite a bit -- just hadn't found the right one until now. --- * Origin: "Baby" - Gone but NOT Forgotten!

Tee Hee! Put on aluminum the first BK :>time? Nope...regular shoes and pads. She got loose the other night...rummaged around my neighbor's yard....and threw a shoe. Bless my farrier...he was out that afternoon, replaced the shoe and pad, and charged me zippo! I just love this kid!! This was the 2nd time in one week that she's gotten out of the pasture. I think it has something to do with being in a dry lot now, with just hay for feed..she's always looking for something to eat!! Now, don't go thinking I'm starving this horse...I'm not, but her stomach is her prime concern and always has been (g). She has lost some weight on her diet, but slowly and not a great deal, so it's not like she's not getting enough to eat. I think she's really bored, and munching relieves the boredom. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can put her back to work this week. I'd worked her for 2 days before she pulled the shoe, and then gave her a day off after...she was a little ouchy...then we got hit with 90+ and high, high humidity, so I didn't work her. Today it's 60 this a.m. with rain. New England weather is not conducive to horse training!! BK :>Nice.. think we'll be fine the first time Tush gets a BK :>pair.. a lot better then she did her first trim.. ;) I've never had one minute of trouble with Fiddle and her feet. From day one I worked on her feet...just lifting and cleaning. By the time her first trim came around she was so used to having her feet worked on, she never batted an eye. It also helped that I stood there shoving carrots into her while the farrier worked on her (g). And, my farrier is a saint, and really has a way with horses. He told me the other day that he was more concerned about Fiddle and her laminitis than he would have normally been with other horses he works on because he's known her since she was a baby, and sort of feels like she's one of his own. BTW, this carrot trick does work...any time she has something done that might be unpleasant for her, I stand there and give her carrots through the whole thing...shots, farrier work, the x-rays on her legs this summer, etc. So, she associates those things with pleasantness (g). BK :>My shoer takes no great pleasure in getting kicked.. and BK :>Tush SURE pegged the shoer the first time she got shod! :) Well, can't say I blame the poor guy (VBG).
