I'm on a six to eight week vacation. Mom went to her Doc today, turns out it's not 3 broke ribs, it's 4 broke ribs!!! He told her this week will be bad, the second even worse. Course Mom is right away with "when can I ride". He said her could after three weeks but, without saying exact words like "stupid horse person", he mentioned that he certainly wouldn't recommend it. Said 6 weeks might be OK, 8 weeks would be better. Told Mom his Mom had the same break, while her was better at 8 weeks, at 6 months out her still has twinges.
Doc gived Mom stronger pain killer, it be helping. Specially with her arm, mad it tons better. Also prescribe a strong muscle relaxant and give her a flu shot. Mom has never had one, but Doc said if her got a breathing infection now her'd be doomed to a hospital.
Got my feets all trimmed this afternoon. And Promise went to her Doc too. Da ulcer, though still there, has completed the first phase of healing. Prom Doc happy bout that. Mom happy cause while the eye is redder than a tomatoe, it be open and Prom be smiling.
Mom says we got lots of blessings to be counting :)

Slowly, very slowly...
Camryn here:
That's how Mom is doing things VERY SLOWLY. Imagine a movie played in slo-mo and that be her. Plus her is right handed an all the injury is on her right side to boot. So when her does my bedroom, her lifts the poo from her right side, and fills the wheelbarrow only 1/4 up so her can manage to move and dump it. Takes her an hour now just to clean my room, her is happy it's not winter so her can use the hose for filling my water instead of buckets from the water thingie. Her has to brush me left handed too. Know way can her fill my hay bags so now I get to vaccume it all up the way I prefer. Dad is going to have to bring the bedding bags down from the pile cause those are just to way heavy.
Mom is a bath person but, is now using the shower cause if her did manage to get in the tub, there is no way her'd be able to get out. Her is now sleeping on the couch partly because her can prop up easier, partly because it takes 20 minutes for her to get out of bed. If her had to get up to pee it wouldn't be good, her'd never make it. Her has figured out that prior to getting up, sitting down or lifting (light stuff) her has to take a big breath and hold it. Otherwise it's like being knifed bad, this way the knife pain isn't quite so bad. Her managed to do two loads of laundry today. Her pushes the basket around rather than lifting it. Usually her only does something that could cause big pain like my bedroom after her takes her pain meds. Then after her has to lay down and rest a while. Her is glad her has RFD-TV so her can watch horse stuff :)
I wish I wasn't stuck in the barn, I'd like to be in the house. That way I could help her some.

some of obstacle ride...
Camryn here:
there were 12 obstacles so this'll be lotsa writing.
Mom still be hurting bad, who'd have thought bruised ribs would hurt so bad. The pain killers aren't being much help. Her has hard time sleeping in bed cause being flat out hurts and if her habs to go potty it takes bout 20 minutes just to get out of the bed!!! I'm not getting hay nets for a bit either which I like, it just hurts Mom to much to fill them.
So the ride...
Our neighbor was supposed to go with us but canceled. Luckily (kind of) another lady was alone and wanted company so her n Mom rode together. Unluckily, I'd already bonded with the group of horses near me and April (horse we rode with wasn't one of them). So heading out was the last thing I wanted to do. The entire first mile I attempted to head back to camp. Mom just circled me lots an we got to the first obstacle still arguing about it a little.
Obstacle one: I had to trot past a faux campsite, then back again. I balked at first cause of wanting to go back to camp so got a 7 on that one.
Obstacle two: I must mention April is a TWH, her walk had Mom trotting me lots which gave me opportunity to grow my brain back. By the time we got to this obstacle I was my normal self land didn't care if we couldn't see April and her rider.
What we had to do was walk over 5 numbered logs that zigzagged thru some brush. One of the few naturaly occuring obstacles. The first log was WAY tall on me, I refused our first attempt as I assumed Mom was making a mistake in asking me to cross. Once her asked again I realized she for some odd reason actually wanted me to and went on over. This log was so high that it actually bumped Mom's stirrup off her foot!!! The other 4 was easier. I did really good but, got a 7 cause of the first refusal.
Obstacle three: Mom was to dismount, pick up animal which was actually two black trash bags taped together and filled with foam. Her then placed trash animal across the cantle, remounted rode to a barrel n back, then handed the trash animal off to judge. I got a 10 on that one.
Obstacle four: was the noise obstacle. They had two crazed yapping dogs tied alongside the trail, another crazed yapper tied on the other side. The dogs didn't know each other so barked at each other pulling on their ties. Add horse walking along trail just few feet from them. Lots more barking and lunging. I got a 10 on that one too. Course having my own dog helped I'm sure.
Obstacle five: Trash pickup. Mom was given a grabber (like on TV commercials), cause well you always ride with one don't you??? Den her was given a plastic grocery bag. We had to pick up a bottle, a baseball cap and a towel. We only gotted a 5 cause of Mom!!! Her just couldn't coordinate the grabber AND put what her'd picked up in the bag very well. Plus she kept accidently asking me to disenage my rear because without realizing it at first she was holding it where her puts her leg to cue me for that. I was circling, circling, circling. Once her realized her DUH, we completed our task.
Obstacle six: Was square hoop pullover. They had a huge square built of PVC pipe with colored ribbons tied all over it and a rope. The idea was I step into square with front feets, Mom pulls the rope bring square w/ribbons up over me, lets it fall behind, then brings it back over into original position. Course when Mom started pulling it I thought her wanted me to back so did. Mom just thought "yeah we'll do this on trail all the time" and passed thinking it silly.
Obstacle seven: Cause of the crash where Mom still knows her shoulda just passed. One thing I didn't mention is that the lady and TWH we'd been riding with, after their attempt (couldn't do it either) rather than waiting for Mom. Her just rode off and left us to fend for ourselves!!! Da next lady (she won 2nd place), asked if Mom would like to ride with her. By then Mom was ready to continue so we did. I liked this horse way better too. Dat lady and judges were stunned by Moms former riding partner just leaving her like that.
Obstacle eight: Dis was a creek crossing. Differant than most as it's sides were built up with barn stones. So I had to drop my front down at least three feet to enter creek, cross, go up the same. Then we was supposed to return. Da drop down jarred Mom's ribs/shoulder pretty bad so her just waved back and said "nope, not coming back". We waited for our new partner to cross. We got a 1 on that cause we did part of it.
Mom had decided anthing that caused pain we'd avoid. And anything I balked at we'd just continue on as her didn't have full use her right arm. Her kept thinking of injured cowboys having to finish their ride!
Obstacle 9: they had 4 things of PVC pipe with branches sticking out. We was supposed to walk thru them. Not eat them wich is what I did hee hee. I mean come on we's been out three hours and I was hungry. They shoulda done that one first!!! We got a 0 on that one.
We caughted up with our old partner so now we rode with three. New partner kept asking if Mom was ok, Mom said that my hips rolling back and forth was actually pretty soothing. Trotting her just held on to the cantle to stableize the bumping a bit.
Obstacle 10: Apparently they thing we're football players. Had 7 tires laid out forming a V, they was like a whole inch apart. Mom thought "Oh, what the heck, we'll give it a go". I got a 10 on that one, guess I should try out for football team :)
Obstacle 11: Backing in a figure 8 round two trees that was like 8 feet apart. Mom had us give it a reasonable attempt. I'm a good backer, but not that good. We got a 2 as we gotted some of it done.
Obstacle 12: For some odd reason Mom thought this one was funnest. They had 16 barrels, lined up in sets of 4 with bout three feet between each (maybe less). The was marked A,B,C,D n F. Had to go thru in alphabeticle order. If you went thru out of order you was DQ'd, if you knocked on over you was DQ'd, you had 40 seconds to complete. Mom n me just whizzed right thru perfect, it was last obstacle so lotsa peoples were there and cheering us on. Specialy ones that knew Mom was wounded. Only one snaffoo, after we'd completed them, I thought we was done not realizing I had to cross the finish line and all. So, in true Haflinger style, I congratulated myself by stopping to graze. Mom not being able to use her right arm good couldn't stop me. Once I realized we wasn't done, we crossed the finish line but, had gone over time. We got a 1 on that one.
One rider after us knocked a barrel and got DQ'd her whined that the barrels was to close. Everbody pointed to me saying the Haflinger did it!!! Geez, give a girl a complex bout being wide!
Whilst writing this post Mom gotted call from Xray doc. Her has 3 cracked ribs after all. Mom told him she was expecting his call. Her'd already made appointment for Wed. to see regular doc. Who'd have though cracked ribs would hurt sooooo much her says. Haven't heard bout the paramedic lady, we will Wed. though when I gets my feets trimmed.

Hardest thing about riding is...
THE GROUND!
Camryn here:
Yup, Mom found out that saying is very accurate!!! Had a bit of a mishap at the obstacle ride yesterday. Obstacle #7 was over the top (guess that's how they gave the ride the name "Over the Top?)
You know how most obstacle rides involve draggins something? Well #7 was dragging cans tied on a rope. You'd think six maybe 7 cans would suffice right? There was enough cans tied that you'd have thought they got them from a Fraternity party. At least 50! Mom was to lift the cans up off the barrel they was on, drop them to the ground, ride dragging the cans to another barrel, then back to the first one, pick up the cans and put them back on the barrel. Mom was actually planning to simply pass on this obstacle but, as she was talking to the judges I began playing with the cans. So her was thinking, Oh she'll be fine so we "tried" it. Mom lifted the cans, I was fine, then she dropped them. I wasn't so fine, I went BAM. Simply spooking wasn't an option, I had to kill those cans, so I did my best. I did a very atheltic twisty buck & kick off to the right. Mom knows this cause her could see my butt an feet out of the corner of her eye. Mom flew really, really good, she didn't land so good though. Her landed on her right shoulder, & knocked the wind out of her right lung real good. One of the judges at the obstacle happened to be the ride paramedic. Hmmmm think they knew it was a tough one??? Took Mom forever to be able to breath good. I'd trotted off around the bend a bit, but was on my way back to check on Mom when someone came to catch me. They looked Mom over real good, she rested a while then got back on and rode the rest of the way out which was couple hard miles. Mom's a trooper that's for sure. And her didn't blame me one bit, she understood that obstacle was stupid an her should've gone with her gut. Her found out after that her'd been the second rider to come off at the cans.
The paramedic lady checked Mom several times after the ride. Den da paramedic lady decided to ride her horse a bit. Mom's wreck was pretty bad, da paramedic wreck was HORRIBLE. If her'd not been wearing helmet (Mom did too) her'd have been dead!!! Her helmet cracked from front to back, it made Mom's stomach turn just seeing the helmet. Her horse had a tizzy fit bout leaving her friend, da paramedic lady did a summer sault landing right on her head. Dey called 911, covered her with a blanket and kept her still. She began arguing and wanted to get up, Mom bent down and said "you made me listen to you, now you have to listen to them", she laughed and stayed still. Her could talk, laugh, wiggle her fingers n toes. Lotsa vehicles with lights n sirens came and took her. We hope you guys can all say prayers for her.
Back to Mom, her hurting really bad this morning, so she went to trauma care. Xrays showed no breaks, but her's supposed to go to her Dr. and maybe do MRI to make sure. Dad be out picking up her meds right now. Even better news is Mom still loves me!
I'll write more tomorrow bout the other "Over The Top" obstacles.

Playing in our woods...
Camryn here:
For some unknown reason (to mom) I suddenly didn't wanna ride back thru my woods. Rather than whip me into submission as had been recommended, Mom thank heavens simply broke out her clicker and bag of treats. Guess what riding in the woods is fun after all. No instead of bulking and saying "now way", I"m all "Pa-leese Mom can we go play in da woods".
We was supposed to camp again this weekend. The weather man said "nope, no camping for you". The Ohio Horseman's Council is having a obstacle ride tomorrow. Da area for parking is in a valley and grass, Mom's worried that in spite of 4-wheel drive if today's rains keep up as promised we won't be able to get out, if we can get in. Her's gonna pack up the trailer just in case cause we really wanna go play.
Hooves crossed we get to to, AND that we can get the truck/trailer in/out if we do. Yeah, I know I'm trained to pull but, don't have proper equipment to do so.
Oh, Promise eye doesn't look any worse. Doc said it would, an the comfy tube collar be helping to keep her from rubbing.

Promise n the Dr...
Camryn here:
Promise is back from the Dr. While her tear count did go up to 8 from 0 in the bad eye, her's got an ulcer on it now. Soooo, new meds. Today Mom's gotta give to differant drops every two hours. One has an antibiotic, the other is actually made from Promise own blood serum. Isn't that neat that they can do that. Her eye is far from being out of the woods though. Dry eye is bad but, normally treatable, corneal ulcer is bad but treatable. Together well, it be questionable. Mainly cause one of the dry eye ointments contains steroid which keeps the inflamation down. But, the ulcers like hers don't heal good with steriod. And her particular type of ulcer is one that grows, destroying the cornea. Sooo, being off the ointment will help the ulcer, but...Well, you get the picture.
Promise goes back to Dr. next Wed., the ulcer means they gotta watch closer too. They suggested a cone of shame to keep her from rubbing it. Mom just laughed explaining that the being a corgi the size for her neck would make walking with her short stubby legs impossible. So, Mom went and got her a comfort cone which is basicaly an innertube round her neck.
The Dr. started to explain differant paths to take if treatment wasn't working. Him was way relieved when it was Mom and not him bringing up taking the bad eye out. Much as Mom hates the thought of Promise being one-eyed having grown up with a blind dog, and riding with a one-eyed horse friend her understands. Better alive and pain free.

Our Promise ouchy eye...
Camryn here:
One of my dogs "Promise" has an ouchy eye. Three weeks ago "after" two visits to her regular dog Dr. her went to an eye Dr. Her was diagonosed with dry eye, basically her eye isn't making any tears. You might think, Oh no big deal right? It is, big time though...
See her beautiful blue eye, it's not so pretty right now and it hurts her real bad. Mom puts three kinds of medicines in it. All three twice a day, one of them couple more times. The first Vet had her doing one thing and it helped for a week. Da eye Dr. prescribed what Mom be using now, those worked for a week too. Mom called telling eye Dr. it was getting worse again and that one med in particular was ouchy to Promise. Dr. had her change out that med from a drop to a gel. That worked super "for about a week". Now her eye is all bad again. Ivy been licking at it, so Promise is being kept away from her which is hard on the girl dogs cause they be bestest friends and all. It's crusting up, so Mom making warm compress of saline solution to clean it. Mom be doing these things religiously. Poor Promise even though her hates it, comes when Mom asks despite knowing Moms gonna be sticking all this gooey stuff in her eye. Promise is so owey her tries to stay by herself, and her walks all head down. Tomorrow morning her goes back to the eye Dr. So please eberbody send good eye vibes to our Promise girl.

Did place called Brecksville today...
Camryn here:
Boy if me n Mom keep having adventures like today I'm gonna be one buff Hafy Gurl!!! Mom took piktures too, mainly cause Dad teased her that her never remembers.
I hitched a ride in Dakota's trailer, its very nice and new. I do prefer my ramp though, and Dakota sounded like a mule yelling in my ear when I loaded. Jeez, hers got a mouth on her, almost went deaf. We went to a place called Brecksville, it's part of the Cleveland Metroparks system. They have stables there too. My used to be trainer Barb (saving for new saddle means no trainer right now) met us there with her Arab gelding named Faremair, I might of spelled that wrong. We've ridden with him before so all three of us horses knew each other.
This place was really pretty and big, and hills, oh my did it have hills. Lots and lots of hills, some going down, some going up, lotsa creeks, several bridges. We saw some hikers, some of them had dogs with them. One dog hiker pair kinda scared me, not on purpose cause they were nice and polite. I was doing my power trot up a hill and just as I crested there they was. The man had already stepped off the trail and had the dog sitting cause Dakota and Faremair was couple lenghts ahead of me. I'd expected to see my friends, so was surprised about them. I did a little stiff scoot away but, then was fine right away again. We saw like 8 deer, couple of big bucks with racks, three resting by a log, couple Momma's with their fawns. One scared Faremair, him and Dakota was trucking along up a hill (did I mention there were a lot of hills?), the deer got spooked and ran one way. Faremair did a little hop/skip to the side but like me recovered nicely.
The first couple of hills, Mom started me trotting up them, I thought I'd prefer to walk them. Soon I discovered Mom had the right idea, trotting was a good idea. So rest of the ride Mom I listened to Mom bout that. Halfway up hills, Mom would touch my neck and say "Power up girlfriend", I'd kick in my turbo and Whoompf we'd be right up that hill. Mom laughed cause I'd trot so fast her imagined someone called Fred n Barney in some Flintstone car with their legs going in circles real fast. You humans probably know what she's talking bout, cause I sure don't!!!
Oh, yeah I mentioned pictures, here they are:
This one shows how I don't have a need to be close up on trails!!! We'd get so far behind sometimes, Mom would eventually yell ahead "we're catching up". I found out realy quick that her'd ask for a trot after that so whenever her yelled "catching up", I'd start trotting. Not with the turbo turned on however...
This was our view for most of today. Mom notices that if we're with horses I know, I prefer to just hang out behind for the most part. If we're with new horses, I like to lead the way. Once I find out their not stupid or something I won't care where I am though...
Barb got off Faremair to take some pix for Mom. Dakota and Danette are posing, I'm not drinking like you might think. I'd found a root and was trying to pull it out. I rarely drink at creek crossings, I prefer to flutter and flap my lips in the water. Makes really fun sounds!!! Try it sometime, you'll see frogs and crawfish scatter like crazy!
This one shows what good boy Faremair is. His Mom is the one taking the picture, Faremair just stayed where she left him. He was catching leaves as the floated by. Dakota was the only one drinking at the creeks, me n Faremair just played in them. Mom requests that you please do not biggify these as she looks like a total misfit...
This was at a differant creek, did I mention there were a lot of those? I'm standing up the hill while Mom takes a picture. Yup I said a hill, yet again.
Oh, another Hafy sighting, this time a handsome Chocholatey guelding. We didn't get to meet as he was crossing over our trail to head up another in front of us. I don't even think he got to see me at all.
The trailer next to us said they had two Haflingers at their barn and complimented me on how pretty I am and how much better shape I'm in than the two they know. That was nice :)
Anyway went, we conquered, now we're home.

More new friends...
Mom n me went for a trail ride this morning. Cathy and Jillian (differant Jillian than ours) used to be neighbors long time ago. Everybody thought it was funny when Mom moved there cause both Mom and Cathy's daughters are Jillians. Not a common name at that time even.
Anyway, they've been talking bout getting together and finally did. We all met at a nearby trailhead called SilverCreek. Cathy's horse is an off the track Standardbred gelding named Duece. Jillian rides a cute little paint mare named Katori. Duece being off the track still thinks if a horse is behind he has to race it. So Cathy n Duece brought up the rear. Duece is also not happy with other horses being near, can you believe he gave me, "I'm gonna get you" ears??? Takori, is 5 and still a little green, if she's in the lead she wants to gooooooo!!! Takori is very freindly and sweet, her kept reaching out whenever I was near just wanting to do a "Hi, your nice, I like you" touch. I liked her.
Soooo, I was lead most of the time. Mom says it's a good thing that I don't care where I am. It was a nice laid back, peaceful ride with the riders catching up on things. Talking bout us horses n stuff. Cathy had some major tail envy, she just couldn't get over my luxury tail. Jillian said it looked like one bought at QH Congress (whatever that is). Some of the trails was pretty sloppy with mud, lots of mud. I normally don't mind but, this was ridiclous mud. At one point Katori was lead, she walked into a puddle and dissapeared up to her armpits!!! Her's a brave girl and didn't care though. I was next in, my front dissapeared too, I noticed a leafy branch within grabbing distance so had a little snack with my bath!!! Duece managed to avoid his front dissapearing somehow. We did lotsa trotting, specially up hill, Mom still getting used to this saddle so her liked this as it helped her lots.
When we gotted back to the trailhead, I spotted another Haflinger getting saddled up. Found out her name is Penney, her be shorter and rounder than I. Her owner was shorter too, so they made a good pair. Our peoples chilled on a picnic table before loading us in our trailers, they were talking bout something for next weekend we might go do. I'm feeling pretty popular with all the new friends I'm meeting. Excluding Duece cause he didn't really want to be friends. Oh well, his loss I say.
Tomorrow I'm going out again, differant trailhead, differant group of friends. I'll be hitching a ride with Dakota since Eclipse isn't going. Cameron and Snip who live up thru the woods be going too. Wish me luck keeping up with a TWH, SSH, and Thoroughbred everybody!!!

Playing with my Neighbors...
Camryn here:
Since Pippin and Doc my Hafly blog friends over at Living A Dream introduced their neighbors. I thought it appropriate to introduce a few of mine too. You know, Doc and Pippin that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery don't ya! I also mismatched your names above so neither of you would get jealous and think I play favorites :)
So anyhow introducing my bestest friends:
On your left is my friend Dakota with her Mom Danette. On the right is Eclipse, he's my other best friend, he's with his Mom Lori. They both live next door, just like 90 feet away. I can see them from my paddock, pasture and my bedroom window. During certain times of the month (You mares know what I'm talking bout), Dakota holler back and forth lots complaing bout our ovaries n stuff... 
Dakota is kinda embarrased here. Her and Eclipse are going on a riding getaway at the end of the month and having dress rehersals to make sure their new gear doesn't bother them. Dakota thinks her boots look like bedroom slippers. Her's aren't a pretty red like mine!!!
I'm not going on the trip cause there are cliffs and Mom is afraid of high places like that. Her did say maybe next year though, she'll just take some valium and let me worry bout the cliffs <kidding>...
What is it with humans? They see a camera then drop everything to smile and wave. Don't they know cameras can't wave back??? Eclipse is like "Moooom, your embarresing me"!!! I mean he's standing there half dressed with his breast collar just hanging and all. I don't blame him a bit.

Where Were You...
Camryn here:
Mom has a song stuck in her head today,
"Where Were You, When The World Stopped Turning That September Day?"
Mom remembers vividly...
Our Chris for instance decided to join the Army (after his broken hand healed he did), now him is a Fire Fighter too. One life changed that day for the good.
Others, well, not so much.
For those who lost so much, I bow my head, close my eyes, Pray and remember....
Remember so none are forgotten <SIGH>

Nearly forgot...
Camryn here:
Almost forgot to mention yesterday. Mom an me might do another camp out this month. It's an obstacle ride thing I guess. Mom don't care bout the obstacle stuff much, but says we'll give em a shot if we go.
So yesterday her was wearing a jacket to keep the skeeters at bay in the woods. Once in the arena her took it off while on me. Then we rode over to put it on the bedding bag stack. After we was almost done playing we rode over and her got it. First her put it in her lap. But, then accidently dropped it. So I picked it up and handed it to her. While grabbing it she dropped her/mine spanker, I picked that up and gave it to her too (don't know why since it's sometimes used on my bootie). Then her put her jacket back on. So, Mom says if dropping jackets then picking them up is an obstacle, I'll win that one for sure!!!
Mom found out that her girl Jillian been reading my blog. So here be a shout out for you Jillian (MOM LOVES YOU)

playin with my friends...
Mom n Me have just been playing around in the pasture the past few weeks. We're working on my turning off of her leg, which is going super good. I've even been trotting trees like their barrels!!! Mom's been working on sitting my trot. Don't tell her but, that's not going so good if ya know what I mean!!! Getting better but, she still needs work.
Since the dirt got put in my paddock it's been raining daily, turning my paddock into a slop pit!!! Such a pain to walk thru.
Mom had made plans to trailer to a trailhead and meet up with a new Hafy friend. That got sidelined, so her n Danette was going to take Dakota n me someplace nearby. The weather peoples put a veto on that plan. Sooooo, instead we decided to go play out back in the woods. Eclipse person Lori came too, so we had a kinda play date party.
Mom rode me back thru the woods over to where Dakota n Eclipse live. This is the first time this year we traveled the woods just the two of us all the way to Dakota/Eclipse barn. Coming outa our woods, I got kinda skeered cause there was a green and a white chair sitting there watching with their scary chair eyes. Mom circled me around a few times, the chairs didn't do nothing so I went ahead. We road off towards the boarding barn a bit, then turned to head for Dakota/Eclipse barn. Had to pass the scare chairs again, but that was OK cause I had the bridge crossing to be concerned about instead. Did that, thru the woods some more, another bridge then we're at the barn where Dakota/Eclipse are still getting dressed. So Mom n me hung out and she "tried" to stop me from grass snatching. For some reason Danette's grass just tastes sooo good I can't help but, "try" to steal some.
Finally their ready and off we go thru the woods over to the arena. Once in the arena I just wasn't feeling it and didn't wanna do what I was asked very much. So Mom resorts to "telling" me what to do SIGH. I just wasn't in the mood to trot for some reason the arena makes me not want to do that? Mom asked if it was cause I was embarrased at how horribly her rides my trot. I didn't wanna admit it and hurt her feelings so I trotted out a bunch.
Dakota had to leave early, so just me n Eclipse were left to play. He doesn't like his Dakota girl out of his sight. Lori was figuring he'd throw a hissy over her leaving. But, he done realy good. We rode a while longer than headed back threw the woods. Eclipse can be pretty rushy doing that but, I thought he did real good.
Normally once we're back at Danette's home barn, Mom dismounts and leads me home. Today her decided to ride home. Her was sooooo proud of me cause I did it no prob at all. Usually, I don't want to leave to go home and keep turning back to Dakota/Eclipse. Today, I just rode up thru the yard, stopping just a moment to relieve my bladder (thought the yard looked dry). Up to the human house, past the trailer, atv and lawn chair with Leppy (cat) taking hims bath. Then up the drive to the road, we waited for a car to pass then out onto the road and home. Mom was just all about how good I am, that I rode the road like we do it daily. I was like "No biggy Mom". Course I got extra hay to munch once I was unsaddled. That made it sooo worthwhile for sure.
Oh, Mom rememered to take her camera BUT forgotted to use it. Jeez, her's got "sometimers" I think. Cause "some times her remembers, some times her forgets". Gotta love her though, and she's mine so that counts for something.

Big red truck full of...
Camryn here:
Friday even though it was super duper hot Dad had a load of dirt delivered. Actually two, but since only one for me it's the only one that counts I think!!!
I was minding my own business way at the back of my pasture. You know doing my thing "nom, nom, nom". When I hears this "beep, beep, beep". Course being curious me, as it could actually be another load of hay (I missed the delivery last time), I gotta come check this out!!! My super hero cape flying behind me! (Take note that do to several floods this summer my grass is still greenalicious)...
Once I get up to the barn, I first realize that Mom has the middle gate closed so I can't really get up close and proper. Then it dawns on me that this isn't hay after all. Course between my super hero mask and looking thru the darkness of the barn it was kind of hard to see real clear what it was. So, I stops to try to get a good looksee...
Onyx assures me all is well, and informs me it's not more hay after all. Apparently since we suffered thru so many floods, my peoples decided to fill in low areas to help me be high n dry. The driver left his truck door open while talking to Mom and Dad. Onyx silly dog was trying to figure out how to get his short stubby legs up and in the truck cab (no pix of that sorry). Jeez, it's a 15 ton truck Onyx!!! Ever since Mom got her big pick u truck his asperations of being a truck dog have been realized yet he want' bigger and better I guess...
Once the truck was gone and my paddock gate closed, Mom let me thru the barn to check it out. Course I got right to work supervising it's proper disperal...
Yup, it's just dirt no hay here darn it anyway. Mom was laughing hard as I snorkeled a path thru with my nose making sure...
My awesome hard working Dad following my implicit instructions. Don't worry I had Mom doing the same in the barn aisle. Not about to allow my people to become slackers. Onyx was supervising her as I kept tabs on Dad.
Rained last night so now my beautiful dirt has become "MUD"!!! Didn't flood though.
A little side note: Mom's former horse woulda been running away yelling "the sky is falling". Not me cause I'm a Drafty Hafy Gurl with ballz of steel.
