my new horse is still without "THE NAME" that i want to be yelling at night in the mud and rain...I had a close one but the realisation that the Irish ballad to which it belongs a boy gets a girl pregnant so his father tells him to murder her to gain back his bachelor freedom, so the guy listens to his father and poison's the girl on a beautiful spring day with a glass of Burgundy wine and throws her body into a river and the guy is later convicted of murder and hanged.
Not the cheerfully light and pettily pretty name i was looking for...
So at the moment her name is Commie or Comity. Why do i feel like she's going to be stuck with it?
WITHER WEATHER
I'm starting...no scratch that. I'm very frustrated with the weather. It should not be raining this time of year! I know i should be thankful for it but...I'M NOT!!! The round pen is being flooded every day and drying out once a month!
Blood SUCKERS*
you know what I'm talking about!Outdoors peoples arch enemy the mosquito. Get your mosquito repellent its that time of year.
TIPS FOR THE MOSQUITO WAR
1.Wear long sleeves in dusk hours(i don't care how proven repellent is I don't trust it with my mental heath)
2. For those mosquito heavens of yours(horse waters)go by your nearest Fish Bait store and get some Minnows and watch them zip around and make dinner (literally) out of Mosquito's.
3. for your poor horses that are left out all night with the blood suckers one might make them a little less itchy by doing the following.
-put a blanket on
-put fly spray on there poor belly's and necks the apparent mosquito delicacy's.
Commie's Training
-shes now lungable(not laughable)
-she sorta ties
-she not over the water hose yet... you'd think shes an Arab and not a big Fearless Thoroughbred like shes supposed to be.
-she now know the bucket is something that holds wonderful stuff.
-I can put a blanket on her when it's cold
- she now knows that when i brush her I'm not trying to eat her hair by hair!
