No ride, butt....
No ride today, Mom went back to work!!! Her be kinda ouchie from not just her ribs but, from being off for 6 weeks. Her actually volunteered to go back, Dad woulda been OK, if her'd taken the rest of the season off. But, her saving for a gooder saddle pad for my treeless so back to work her goes. It'll only be another month an her'll be off for the winter. Right now their just transplanting and cleaning up for next season at the green house anyway. Her has my good 5 star pad, and the Imus bit I never use on Ebay to help too.
Yeah, her conditioned, brushed and braided my tail. Since it's frosted a few times making the flies not bad she said it's time for my winter tail. My tail unlike my mane just grows n grows, with it braided it doesn't pick up quite as much mud. Best of all it doesn't accumulate snowballs that slap my legs as I move about. I guess it's a good thing and I don't mind,. Do you think it makes my butt look big??? Did her really have to take a pikture of I mean come on Mom???? So much for privacy in your own home. Later...

Camryn here:
Beeeeutiful day today, not in a sunshiney kind of way (that was yesterday) but, in a temperature no wind kinda day.
So course after Mom cleaned my room her headed up to the house for my saddle...
Ooooh no, here comes Mom her's got my saddle AND a camera. Doesn't take much thinking to figure out whats gonna happen next does it...
Heading towards the figure eight trees. That's where I have to work when I've been acting spunky... 
What's that I hear? Uggh Mom has the camera out. By the way that's not a proper bridle nose band. I wear a Ride N Tie Halter Bridle combo. See the snap right by my ear? The halter part wraps round the bridle part and snaps together. Pretty handy right?... 
This be me wearing my new saddle after our little jaunt around the pasture. Looks like I'm muddy but, cepting my feets I'm really clean. My winter woolies kinda go every which way!!!
You have no idea how hard it is to stand here nicely without wandering back to eat the yum yum leaves...

I Object....Objection overuled...
Camryn here:
Thanks friends for your Get Well wishes, I reallly appreciate everyones thoughts and concerns. I am feeling better, way better. Good enough to object about vacation being over, Mom however played judge and overuled my objection, her heels were the gavel so to speak!!! Well, one heel anyhow, cause her pulled back on one rein and put heel behind my girth causing me to move my butt outta gear on more than one occasion.
I was wanting leaves cause we were riding back in the leaf area, Mom was wanting trotting. I did a lower head and toss it, her said "NO WAY Gurlfriend" and made me do all this circling stuff. Bah I say. Not only did I not get my way, but jeez I had to work harder just cause I expressed opinion.
I wasn't done expressing myself, cause after a bit later Mom is riding me back towards the woods (an old not fav destination of mine), it's pretty boggy and some wind "whooshed" in. I said, "NO way Mom I'm not gonna" and tried to spin. take off and throw a little buck in to prove my point. Mom again expressed dissatifaction with my opinion saying "You Be-Otch" her one reined me, circled, circled, circled then we went where we'd been heading despite my missgivings. On the way back to the barn I did some more head lower/shake head in the good tasting leafs area. You know what I mean, I was thinking bout raising up my bottom in the air. Mom made me circle trees real quick like, over and over, and over. There are three trees in a line like soldiers, we weaved around them like I was a dog doing agility poles.
Mom said I can only feel my oats when I get oats, and since I don't get none ever that feeling them is not acceptable.
After our ride, she lead me all over, having me do all these moving my feets wherever she wanted me to. Then her tooked her good old time undressing me while I stood tied. Course after that Mom brushed me good, scratched my chin and gived me my lunch. All is right in the world once again.

Tummy ache...
Camryn here:
Word of warning friends, don't gorge on falling leaves!!! Not that I've learned my lesson however I'm sure.
Lately I've only been out on pasture due to flooding while Mom cleans my room. Prior to Mom's boo boo she's always leaf blowed the pasture a few times each fall cause there are so many trees there. Of course this year that hasn't been possible.
Mostly I just move the leaves with my nose to get the grass. Yesterday though two trees that hadn't dropped yet, let go of the most delightful tasting leaves. Not only are they tasty but, they're HUGE. So course being a hungry Hafy I took advantage of the buffet. Mom was cleaning my room and didn't realize till later that night when her came down to tuck me in.
Mom put me in my room as usual and gave me my bucket of yummies. I just looked in the bucket, then at Mom, bucket, then Mom....Just the sight of food made me feel yucky. Mom of course was alarmed, I like any Hafy girl don't refuse food without good reason. Mom then tossed my hay in, I bent to taste it and couldn't bring myself to do so. I lifted my head and gave Mom the lip!!! Then I turned to look at my tummy a few times and even kicked at it, my tummy hurt so bad. Then I thought if I laid down that'd help a bit but, it didn't. Of course Mom sounded the alarm calling the Vet, she took all my food away to. I didn't care cause just looking at it made me feel all UGHHY anyhow.
I was laying down resting when the Vet called saying her was on the way. Mom said Dr. was coming to make me feel all better. I was so relieved at that news, I got right up, farted then started looking for my food. Mom didn't give it back but, I scrounged about picking up the remnants of what had been there, then Mom set up a chair to sit and wait with me. Dr. Bev arrived, Mom told her that I'd perked up, farted couple of times and wanted to eat. Mom brought me outa my room, Dr. Bev shoved something little up my bottom, then started listening to and thumping my sides lightly. I stood there so good, cause like Mom said "Dr. Bev was there to make me feel good" so I wanted to help. My temp was normal, so next Dr. Bev stuck her whole entire arm up into my bottom and was tickling me inside!!! Each time she moved her hand further in I'd hunch all up. It wasn't a comfy feeling at all. I looked at Mom in alarm but, still stood like an angel. Dr. Bev pulled some really dry poo out, seems the leaves had been absorbing all the moisture outa me.
Next, yeah it ain't over yet, Dr. Bev took this loooooong tube, a bucket of water, a bottle of mineral oil out. Next, and this I didn't appreciate at all, Dr. Bev took the looooong tube and began sticking it up my nose!!!! Mom's holding my head up, I'm looking at her outa the corner of my eye asking "just how is this making me feel better, please tell me"!!! Still I stood like an angel. Dr. Bev mentioned that I was bigger than I looked on account of how much tube she inserted!!! Next she took this thingy and put it on the end of the tube that was now in my belly, she kept pouring water and mineral oil into it, this went in my belly.
Onced all the concoction was inside of me, her began taking the loooong tube out. Each time she pulled I'd cough and make a big fart!!! I ended up with a big bloody nose. Luckily Mom keeps paper towels handy in the barn and had just brought down a new roll. They used most of it to get the bleeding stopped.
Whilst they did thatI got a shot of bute & Mom and Dr. Bev was talking bout me. Dr. Bev mentioned that her normaly sedates for rectals and tubing. Mom asked how come her didn't do that with me. Dr. Bev said "1st off because she's a Haflinger" (HA! I say to all who think we're stubborn), her said that she'll only try it on one out of ten horses and normally she still ends up sedating. Her said since I was so good for the rectal she decided to try not doing it for the tube too, which of course I was an angel for as well. Mom, was sooooo proud of how good and trusting a girl I was. Don't know why she was surprised at that after all she'd said I'd feel better, so course since Mom doesn't "generaly" steer me wrong I cooperated. And as usual Mom was right cause I did feel so much better. Dr. was petting me all nice as with paper towels stuffed all up my nose, as she told Mom these things. I guess being as Dr Bev likes me and talks nice bout me I can forgive her all the sticking things inside me from both ends, specially since it was all for good reason. Plus she said Mom could give me a small flake of hay and I wouldn't starve over night. I tucked right into my hay like I'd never had a care in the world just a little while ago!
Oh, Dr. Bev checked my teeth on account she's also a dentist and said they're all good and I could wait to spring. Mom as relieved cause with her not working, and this new Vet bill along with Promise Eye Dr. bills, my needing a dentist to boot would have Dad over the moon!!!!
I'm feeling all better now, but Mom isn't letting me back to my pasture at all now which is a huge bummer <SIGH>

Vacation over...
Camryn here:
Good & bad news to report. I'll report the bad news first, my vacation is now over!!! Yup, cause the good news is Mom is feeling better. Not perfect but, good enough to ride me about the pasture and it's only been 5 weeks. Her right shoulder is sored up a bit from riding, & her knows where her ribs are. But, Mom is so pleased with herself that I can't be to mad bout the vacation ending. Dad don't know yet, all the RFD-TV she's been watching has made her way antsy to ride.
We didn't do much, just checked my brakes which were good. Did some flexing and softening stuff. My turns could use a tweak, as can my backing. I'm backing great, just in a circle!!! Mom is guessing that's cause of her though. Most likely cause in the Barefoot treeless I can feel her soooo much better, that a shift tells me something differant from what her intends for me to do. Her butt cheeks are telling me to back in a circle so that's what I do.
Her felt nice and secure in the Barefoot, says it's very comfy. Her did a tweak to the pommel cause the wide is to narrow for me. She did a template and it looks like the Xwide might be to big. Someone on the treeless list suggested stuffing it with a towel, so that's what she did. Mom is gonna sell a few more exess tack on Ebay to get differant inserts for the Grandeur pad, some that keeps things off my withers more & fill in the atrophied areas better. For now though it'll do as we're just playing out back a bit. Tomorrow her's gonna get me a new cinch. The saddle we'd borrowed was english rigged and my western is now a tad to big. Her's gonna keep the old one, cause once my atrophy is gone it may fit again. I looooove getting new stuff almost as much as Mom looooves buying it! Kinda makes being back in the saddle worth it I'm thinking. Plus you know the saying "If Mom is Happy, Everybody is Happy!!!
