So it turns out I'm just as bad with keeping up with an online blog as my hand written journal...been forever since I wrote in here. Guess I'll just give you the most recent gossip...
Starting with ponies of course! Cinder's been on 2 mg of bute each day now for...3 weeks? Seems to be making a big impact! I can do walk/trot/canter and usually get a nice calm walk afterwards to cool her out rather than hand walking her. She's started leaning while working on a circle, like to the point where I have to counter lean! I don't know how to ask her to stop doing it either...last ride I got frustrated and took her back in the round pen. Moki was riding Zierra with us so Cinder thought it was all just a big race...still the same horse! Eve, the big brat, has just discovered that she's bigger than me. She's taken to REARING whenever she doesn't like what I'm asking her to do whether that's walking forward or backing up, if she doesn't want to, she just stands on 2 legs for about 10 seconds. I've never dealt with rearing when I'm on the ground...not sure what to do? Moki said to make her back up...will try that. But as soon as I put pressure on the halter to make her back up, she goes UP again! Fricken...STOP DOING THAT!!! I have to admit, now that she's a little older and figuring out where her feet are, she's not as calm and quiet as she used to be. Being quite the cheeky monkey lately...like today...she's always gently backed up to me and brushed me with her tail to ask for a butt scratch...today I was on the phone with Moki and standing on the feed tire (tractor tire) and she was loose in the round pen with me - she backed up to me like she usually does, and when I didn't instantly give her scratches, she cocked her back leg and booted the tire I was standing on!!!! I was like HEY! I kicked her back square in butt...don't kick at me when I'm on the phone...come to think of it, DON'T KICK AT ME! Brat...she kinda makes me nervous. I've dealt with 2 year old tantrums before...but they were 12hh...Eve's around 15.1 right now and not anywhere NEAR finished growing...guess I'll take it as it comes and do my best - that's all I can do.
Now onto stress...Moki's dad is doing a little better, sorta. He had his leg surgery finally and is able to get out of bed, took him outside a couple times now and we were able to wash his hair for him...today was promising. Not only did he get his first lesson with crutches and do ok, but he wheeled himself in the chair almost the entire time we were there AND got himself back into bed without the walker. Doesn't sound like much, but I could tell it meant the world to him to be able to do the little things again. I was having a hard time sympathizing for a bit there...he's ok, just his leg...no dude, he's feeling it everywhere. I started staying at Moki's parent's place with her alot this week just to "put myself in her shoes" and man, are they tiring. I'm happy to do what I can to help though, really, I am. Not much that I can do other than hold his leg while he hops into different chairs or help him lower/raise the bar on his chair...but every little bit counts.
Well, that's all for now...later!

Ah, to be home again..
We brought all the mares back to the farm, including Jynx, May 2. My mom can act crazy sometimes, but it's usually limited to beads and puzzles...it stays inside. Betty has some "different" versions of how to imprint a day old foal...we tucked tail, packed up, and headed home! Heck, my mom complained just today about having to walk around to each of the horses today and feed them. OMG no! Not actually LOOK at the animals you've owned for the last 7 years!!! How dare I ask her to do that? PFFFT. Need to have a talk with her, but I'm still SO relieved to be back home!
We're integrating Jynx with Dove, Cinder, Zierra, and Eve this weekend...should have some fun stories! So far we've had all of them together in the paddck except Eve - she cornered Jynx in the paddok at Betty's once and it was a hard time to get her off her! So we plan to turn Jynx out with Dove after walking her around the fenceline a couple times, add Cinder after a couple hours, then Zierra. Halfway through the day toss Eve in and hope Jynx remembers where the fence was while they sort their shit out. They've all stared at each other for 2 weeks now, been introduced for a couple hours in the paddok twice this week...whatever's left to sort out can be done in the big pasture! We'll have Justus and Flika to go round them up if someone breaks out...*thinks positive thoughts* CRAP.
OMG Eve struck out with her front leg at Niki when she was introducing the clippers! I shanked her hard about 4 times and made her back up a ways, took the clippers and went right back at it - rubbing it on her neck and flicking it on and off...stood fine so I called it a day. Would like to do more with her tomorrow on that...just have to watch her tootsies. I don't think she's a striker per se, was just a violent reaction to something scary. I hear you, what's the difference? I just don't think it was an intentional act to get Niki so much as an "OMFG GIT" scared moment. Either way it'll take out my knee so I have to do something about it, I just don't see it being a recurring probem.
I got my new saddle today!!! I bought Wendy's brand new english package from her for $350. Includes all purpose saddle, bright red blanket, stirups, leathers, and MASSIVE bridal! I have to go pick up a couple bits though...one for Eve and one for Flika. Her's was moved onto a blue bridal for Jynx but I think it was Niki's bit anyway so no harm in having extras. I was using Dove's just to let Eve get the feel of the bit, but after further examination it's HUGE in her 2 year old mouth! I think it might be big on Dove too! Anyway, need to restock.
Well, that's all for tonight...will update after the weekend, if I remember! We'll see!

Moving the Mares
We moved the horses last weekend...what a nightmare. I suppose overall it wasn't THAT bad, but ugh...please no. Niki and I have already agreed that any hauling from here on before we get our 4 horse stock trailer will be done by hired drivers. Most likely Bird's Hill Ranch guys...lots of experience and kick ass rig. Sign me up!
Anyway, Niki and her dad went to get the trailer with the truck and Ashley and I went to the farm to gather all our horse stuff and haul it up the driveway, and get ponies ready. Well the trailer had a flat tire so Niki's dad, bless him, changed it and filled the tires on the way to the farm. Ashley and I had everything ready and horses on lead ropes standing at the end of the driveway. They pull up and Niki goes to load Zierra first.
Now, you have to understand the level of FUCKTARD the guy that designed this trailer was...not only was it almost IDENTICAL to our trailer that we know they hate, but it was twice as long and twice as dark/scary. Zierra took the first step into the trailer, which was nearly THREE FEET off the ground, and hauled ass backwards. Pulled a Szerina, if you will, but without the head bashing. Probably because she wouldn't get in far enough to hit the roof in the first place. We did everything but light her tail on fire to get her in, including what looked like a "cowboy beating" with the chain end of a lead...
So NEXT, we try Justus. Bless her pony stupidity she wasn't focussed on how long the trailer was, just the GIANT step up in front of her! So after weaving and looking at it for 20 seconds she stepped up and in...once in she balked once but walked the rest of the plank no problem. I tied her in, got the butt-bar (yes, bar...not rope or chain), and closed the divider door.
We go back to Zierra...get Niki's dad to haul on her head using the center divider as leverage, and Niki and I each with a shoulder on either side of her ass...after a few good heaves she pops up and casually walks to the front past Niki's dad. LOL seriously horse, I understand why you HATE this thing, but the cool pizazz attitude once IN is just irritating! If you're going to be dumb and play scared, play it to the end at least...it's like she gives you this look after she's desided the trailer's ok that says "ha ha, fooled you" and then she's all cool and calm...jackass.
Anyway, those two are in and now it's Eve's turn. Heh. She watched those two...doesn't look like a fun place to be. We started easy and just encouraged her, tried tapping herbutt with a leadope, Niki gave a shove on her butt...but it came down to Niki's dad on her head same as with Zierra, I put a lead around her left front pasturn and hand lifted her leg to step up with the lead just to keep it there, and Niki and I pretended to be tough and linked arms behind her and literally HEAVED her in. LOL I felt so strong after...but Clydy or not she's still only a 2 year old! She was in within 5 minutes and we were locked and loaded. Filled the car with saddles, the truck with the bins and crap and we on the road shortly after.
I followed in my car with Ashley because the tiny cab seats behind the driver in the truck cab didn't appeal to me...so Niki went with her dad in the truck. We get to the end of my road so I call Betty to tell her we're on our way...and I see brake lights and the trailer rocking.
OMG.
NOT AGAIN.
Seriously, Betty answered and this is what I said, "Hey Betty, it's Shay-la, just calling to let you know we're on our waaaaaa....hold on...holy fuck...maybe not gotta go bye..." CLICK. Poor Betty was probably worried because I didn't call her back!
Turned out Justus hauled back on her lead and BENT the metal butt-bar AND divider door! We had to lift the door off it's hinges to get Justus out! Anyway, Niki opened the back escape door first thinking it was probably Eve...nothing, she's standing fine. I get there when she opens the front escape door and Justus was literally in the process of shitting her pants and shaking terrified. We don't know what spooked her but holy dammit pony has some power!
So we close the door again and start moving...didn't stop other than turning until we got to Betty's. The rest of the drive was flawless. Once at Betty's I take Eve out first and that's fine, get Zierra out all good, lift the door off Justus' stall and get her out and she SCREAMS at the Welsh Pony stallion. Awesome...pony's in her first heat. I ended up letting Ashley walk Eve and I took Justus because she was being a cow. Put them in their new paddock and realise the fence is/has literally fallen apart. We stayed an extra 2-3 hours to fix their fencing. Isn't this why I left the farm?!
Bah...so far this place is questionable and Niki and I already have a plan to bring the horses back in a couple months. Give it a month or two to settle in and if it's still bunk, take them back. There's two idiots there too...first impressions stick and neither of them even said hello. And that's after I walked up saying, "nice filly, will she be ok if I walk past with this?" I was carting a 2 level saddle rack. She said, "Actually, yeah..." and made me put it outside the barn and wait until she was done standing in there! Then she was trying to lunge the completely and obviously clueless yearling on a lead rope. She nearly got kicked in the head at least 3 times. Whatever...not my horse, not my problem.
Well, it's getting late now and I work in the morning...going to head to bed!

So shit hit the fan...but as usually, I'm the one throwing the shit so I guess I can't complain.
Since the whole mad thing with Bradey happened, I can't sit nex to him without sweaty palms and twitchy legs. I just can't get comfortable around him whether we're with people or alone...
So today I told him sorry, I guess I'm just not cut out for this, but it's over. Now he's on some rampage where he won't give back the $130 gold ring I gave him because I can't find one of his shitty old sweaters...aparently it has sentimental value. OH YEAH, and he wants the new PBR sweater he bought me for my birthday a little over a week ago. I told him to just hawk the ring for the PBR and fucked if I know where the other one is. He's not taking it though...he NEEDS that old white sweater back...like his life depends on it man!
Whatever...I searched high and low both at the farm and the apartment, Moki checked the car and trunk...this thing grew legs and is GONE. I don't care...fuck it. Keep the stupid ring. And go knit yourself a new sweater because I don't fucking have it! My bet is that it's at the bottom of his own damn closet and he forgot...
that's all for tonight...
Later

Crazy Weekend...
Not quite the birthday weekend I expected, but could always be worse.
Friday I worked, nothing special...
Saturday I worked til 2pm, picked up Ashley and Niki and went to the farm. I was a little put off at first about how plans were made since it was my birthday Sunday and they were the ones riding...but Niki came and helped a bunch for the hard part before they left and I needed to finish the second strand on the pasture. Plus I had nobody to ride...Flika and Zierra are out with leg owwies, Cinder's back is screwed, and Eve's only 2 and untrained. I'm sure I could have doubled on Dove, but I had crap to finish...then we went back to the apartment and had a cooler, then over to Pro Bull Riding (PBR) which was like a 3 block walk from the apartment. Bradey came with us and it was really fun! Rode the mechanical bull before we went in to watch and after my ride the guy at the table told me about some cometition they have at a local bar - said there's a king and queen every month or something, said I should give it a shot! Made my day...Betty came with us too, that's where we're bringing all the horses. She's really nice, and one of her boarders came. Afterwards we went back to the apartment for "girl's night" and I guess I wasn't clear on that part because Bradey stayed til 1am...not like I'm going to kick him out. Plus the one cooler I had turned my stomach something aweful! I wasn't in a drinking mood anymore...anyway, he went home and we all went to bed shortly after.
Today we got out to the farm at noon and holy crap, looking back now I got ALOT of shit done! I finished the second strand, complete with 2 gates, walked the entire fenceline of all the pastures and round pens, spent over an hour trying to get the big pasture hot but failed, dragged over the huge palate for under the tire in the round pen for Justus, Flika, and Mini Man, carried the tub over on my back from the paddock, AND we tarped the hay...was solid hours of chores with maybe 2, 15 minute breaks. I'm sore now...but it was worth it.
Tomorrow I plan to take down some of the extra strands on the big pasture and tighten the cable wire. I'm looking forward to being finished with this stupid fence! I want it all done RIGHT so that if something stops working, it'll be obvious because it's not that crap yellow braid wire and all the insulators are new...no extra pieces or splicing to worry about.
I hate to say it but Flika is screwed...my mom's never letting her in the big pasture. Ever. She escapes from everything...I can't really blame my mom, but that's no life for her. At least now she'll have Mini Manas a companion instead of being the loner horse in the round pen. She'll be in there with him for a couple weeks, maybe a month until this water drains off the farm, then back into the paddock together. Dove and Cinder get the big pasture.
More and more as I'm thinking about buying this wagon to teach the horses to pull, I'm thinking I should see if Cinder will go well in it. It's no actual weight on her back and that's what hurts...carrying me and my saddle on her sore spot. Wonder if the small 2 man cart with me in it would put similar weight on her? I don't want to hurt her, but if I can find a way to still use her and cause no pain, then I can still spend so much time with her...I've been just grooming her a couple times a week lately and she's loving it...might try ground driving her a little bit tomorrow too and see what she thinks. Might not though because it's supposed to rain...we'll see how bitchy mother nature is when we get there.
Well, enough typing for one night...later!

Since my last post I talked to Bradey and we've smoothed things over. We love each other and I'd feel stupid throwing that away over one misunderstanding. Had he understood my letter and still reacted that way it would be another story...but if he honestly didn't get what I had written, then I think it's worth another shot.
Onto other news...
This month is Ashley's and my birthdays. We're 3 days apart so we were going to have a combined birthday party :) well my gift was a big secret and stayed that way until I gave it to her today...I told her Niki and I were staying at the farm lastnight so she would need her mom to drive her out today. Her mom said she and some other people had to be somewhere for 12:30 so she was being dropped off at noon...they pulled halfway down the driveway and everyone unloaded...Niki started video taping same as Ashley's mom so she kinda knew something was up...
I've never actually seen the facial expression "OMFG" before today.
I walked out from behind the garage and into Ashley's view to present her with her new, decked out in pink, pony. Justus is all hers and I'm happy to home her with Ashley. I honestly don't know of anyone that will love that pony as much as, if not more, than I do. I didn't want to sell Justus and lose her so this seems like a PERFECT solution! I'm able to help Ashley's dreamscome true in owning her first horse AND stay connected with my baby! Best of both worlds...I'm seriously on cloud 9 right now, as I'm sure Ashley is as well...
Well, that's all for today...

Well it's over...
I chose it too...after what he's shown me of himself in the last couple days, I don't want my forever to be like that. I didn't sign up for adult temper tantrums, pouting, and yelling.
Not much more to say really...just figured I'd update since my last entry was about my letter to him. I have yet to really write about Eve or the latest about Cinder...but I'm not exactly in a typing mood right now.
To be honest, I'm feeling my first urges to cut in a LONG time. But I know Moki's in the room next to me and will thoroughly kick my ass if I do so...yeah...none for me!
