Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

The towel is washed, thankfully it did not stain. Is it as bright and white as before the incident....that is up to debate. Mom knows and all she said was I had better hope that it did not stain.
Here we have the guilty party of the "New Years Day Towel Heist". Look at him, doesn't he look guilty, shame him. He actually does not care and would 100% do it again if given a chance. The hood on my sweatshirt is slobbery where he decided he had to see if it was removable. No Russ, it is NOT.

Ha, he is very pretty! I once stood outside and in front of a stall that a nippy, rude gelding was in, and he tried yanking my hair

I am intrigued by the furnace filter idea.
How would you do that? Aren’t those the things that come in a plastic frame? Just hang them up over an opening?
By and large I think the Chicken Palace is OK from a ventilation and draft perspective but in extreme situations like a blizzard I wish I had a way of cutting it down a bit and am trying to figure out how to do that.

Could you hang shower curtains to limit the space down some? Tuck out of way otherwise...maybe a magnetic strip on the ceiling as most have magnets in the bottom.

It backfired on him because I gave him a nice wack on the nose!

How is the riding going with the healed collarbone?

Yes. Lots of things I could do. I just hadn’t thought of the furnace filter so wanted to figure how that might work.

That was Rusty with Pear (or her sister, Mama). Both Rusty and Mama are no longer with us. He was NOT standing on the bottom step, but in the grass in FRONT of the step. He was a gentle giant.

Awe! I am sorry about your losses.

She is back to riding but I can definitely see the accident has really shaken her confidence. She is not as keen to just hop on bareback and go riding by herself. She wants a saddle and someone with her. She was also fully released with no restrictions the first of December. I really thought she would be back to her old tricks of sneaking down to the ring and galloping him around it. She has yet to get him out of a slow gait. I know it is just a matter of time and she will be back to her old self. It is hard watching her mentally struggle. I have no clue what to say at times to help her as I have never had that bad of a accident. All I can do is hug her and tell her it is alright.
