I had just gotten off work and went somewhere to eat because I had an hour to kill before an employee meeting. My mom called me and told me the horses were out in the yard. I FREAKED because there is a bucket of oats out there for the deer. I drove 70mph (on backroads posted at 30 lol) to get home and luckily he hadn't found the oats. He was too engrossed in the grass. It scared me to death!! I called them back into the pasture and shook my grooming bucket. They followed me into the pasture, but Chrome got close enough that he spotted the bucket and realized it was my grooming bucket and not the one I feed them out of (he's too smart)... he turned and bolted back into the yard. The little brat. He's lucky he stood still when I walked up to him with the rope because he would have been in big trouble for running from me. I got them put back up and drove back to town and made it to the meeting with minutes to spare.... he's CLEARLY exhausted haha! ;)<br /><br />P.S. I have locked the oats up! The deer can do without LOL!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-43045385472842555602016-03-17T12:47:01.688-05:002016-03-17T12:47:01.688-05:00He's clearly exhausted after so much work, hah...He's clearly exhausted after so much work, haha Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567094702344719852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-35860638352431305342016-03-17T09:27:37.777-05:002016-03-17T09:27:37.777-05:00Oh no I definitely cannot get on from the ground! ...Oh no I definitely cannot get on from the ground! I use the bumper of my car as my mounting block LOL!! My tack is already in there, so why not right? It definitely simplifies things to not tack up, especially when I'm riding him in the halter. It takes all of two minutes to brush his back clean and jump on. :)<br /><br />This is kind of embarrassing, but I'll admit how I hurt my neck... I had just taken a shower and my heavy, wet hair was wrapped in a towel on my head. I can't tuck it in tight enough for it to not fall off if I tip my head forward because it's so heavy, so I try not to look down when I have my hair wrapped. I was putting on my pants, trying not to look down... and somehow that pulled something in my neck and shoulder... pathetic! I think it was cumulative though from bathing my parent's dog and leaning over the shower to scrub it afterward. To be honest though my hair is just that heavy when it's wet.... :\ Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-21875477872437896312016-03-17T09:18:08.584-05:002016-03-17T09:18:08.584-05:00Five days in a row -- hurray!

Sometimes I think that I'd ride more often if I didn't have to fuss with all that tack. I had to remove the horn bag with the first aid supplies from Rock's saddle to lighten it up, because I kept injuring my shoulder and arm lifting the saddle with the bag, even when using a mounting block.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.com
