It is quite cool. I mean, except for the fact that he won't be home for Christmas, but hey, what're ya gonna do about it?

When he went to foreign countries, he would always bring back cool souveneirs.

I got this cool blue bag from China once, I think it was made out of some silk, or whatever the knock-off silk it called.

I don't remembre what happened to it though...

Aw.

Hey, silk's like really spendy, ain't it?

I... I'm not very smart, especially ATM.

Aw, I hate it when that happens!

Its fine, I suppose. I'm pretty much used to it now, he's been a Merchant Marine since before I was born. So he's missed alot of big holidays, such as my Birthday, Thanksgiving, Easter, etc etc.


Yeah, that's why I think it was like rayon or something. Rayon is like silk but cheaper, right? I dunno what I'm talking about, washing dishes really drains the life outta me.

It'd be so weird at first!

I'm too stupid to know, so don't ask me.

I was so young, I honestly don't remember what it was like at first.

I should ask my Dad. He knows everything... ಠ_ಠ

Well, before i ride, I always pray that God will keep me safe and keep me off of the ground. This time, when I got on Dezi, all I asked was for God to keep me safe and he found a loop-hole! I'm perfectly safe except for my elbow. And do you know why he threw me? Cows! We were walking down the road (bareback) and we got to a point and he just stopped and kept trying to turn around. i thought maybe it was my mom, who was a ways back behind us. She came up and started walking with us, but he was still doing it. Then we came you an open gate to a pasture with lots of grass in it. He wanted to go in there but i wouldn't let him. He acted like he could see some danger or something ahead of us. We didn't see anything. I made him go forward. I was starting to think he was just being bad, when we got to a point and he started trying to turn and backing up and getting really scared. My mom yelled at him and clapped her hands behind him like she does to the dogs when they are bad. This totally freaked him out because she was acting like she was gonna slap him, even though she wasn't. He started bucking and i held on for at least three good bucks before sliding off. I fell on my butt, but Dezi ran, ooh! was he pretty. His tail was up in the air like an Arabian and he was going FAST! He ran away down the road, then he turned around and ran back at us. I puled mom off the road and he swerved into our neighbors pasture, where he was running down the bull-run (a stretch of weedy land between properties). I walked up to him and he let me grab him. Right beside where he was standing there was a HUGE hole, if he had run into that he would have broken his leg for sure and would probably have had to be put down. We walked back down the road, and on the way back I got back on him. It was then that we realized it was the black cows in the pasture beside the road! Funny how horses are scared of black trash cans, black cows, black cars, but he's a black horse! Well, that morning our farrier had come to trim his hooves and she loaned us her bareback pad! It's great and I'm riding in the parade with it. I'm also getting dezi decked out with garland and bells maybe some ribbon. My mom is making me wear a blue santa hat. Well, everything worked out, so i'm happy!

Hello all. I'm an old BYC member who has made my way back after some time away. I just saw this forum today which was quite ironic.
I have a question...

I lost my sweet sweet Arabian mare to a tragic accident some time during the night. We don't know what happened, but it was a horrific sight to find her deceased and entangled in fencing. My emotions are still raw, and the guilt is unbelievable. I am always the rock, even over my hubby when it comes to any kind of death among our beloved critters. But this one is really, really hard. It's difficult not to think that I could have heard something or been there for her when she must have been so scared and panicked. She just turned 24 in September, and I've had her since she was 9, so she was my sweetie. She was an easy keeper and you could put her inside any fence, and she would not go near it. I always said we could fence her in a strand of twine and she would stay in. So, knowing all this, I have to wonder what could have caused her to go through a fence in a spot where she has never even stood before.

...which leads to my question. Does anyone know anything about Eastern Equine Encephalitis, or has anyone ever had a horse come down with it?
I just wonder if this is a potential for this being the reason for what happened.

I am so sorry. I don't own a horse so I couldn't know about Eastern Equine Encephalitis. But I do know that horses get tangled up in barbed wire, was your mare in barbed wire fencing, perhaps? Or maybe she got close and a hoof got in there somehow, then she panicked and got tangled....?
Again, I'm terribly sorry for your loss, atleast she had a good life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Well, I looked it up and I don't see why it would cause your horse to go through a fence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_equine_encephalitis_virus There's really no telling why your horse did that, she could have gotten scared, it could have been caused by her being so old, I have no idea.

I'm so sorry.
