Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Cynthia12]

I love the sound of raindrops on my roof and awnings.

Me too.

My horse is unfortunately on a break for a year while he heals from an injury, but then we're back. I can still spend time with him and walk with him while we wait though.

Oh, what happened? What type of horse is he?

Maybe. I think one reason is because he doesn’t want me to start jumping. He knows that I’m getting bored of Dressage and wanted to start jumping. He’s afraid that I’m gonna have a bad fall. That might be why. It’s a stupid reason though. I know the risks and I’m willing to take them.

Then, when you're paying the medical insurance, you can take those risks. (No idea if that's at least PART of his thinking. You are his baby girl and he wants to protect you)

Oh, I didn’t even think of that. I’ll talk to him, and see if I can prove that I won’t get myself killed. I’ll even just stick to dressage if I need to.
It’s heartwarming but SO annoying. He does treat me like a baby. He doesn’t understand that I am responsible enough to take care of myself.

The other week I went out into the woods by myself (armed with a pocketknife) just to explore, because he is always yelling at me for not being more adventurous and bold, but then I got yelled at for going out in the woods with my older brother. Sometimes I’ll never understand him.

It is every child’s lot in life not to understand their parents until they are parents themselves.

I’ve heard that a lot. Now that I’m hearing it from a stranger, I have no choice but to believe it! Even though I don’t know any of you, most of y’all give some good advice.

He is a Quarab, and I just got him early last year. He is a rescue, and I didn't know at first because he wasn't really limping or acting odd, but he has chronic lamenitis. He was actually lame on all 4 feet, and since it was balanced, you couldn't tell. My farrier originally said that it was bad enough that he would never be rideable, and might not make the winter. I changed his diet and monitor him pretty heavily, and when she came out a couple weeks ago, she said that he'd grown half a hoofs worth of new growth, and in a year, he'd be clear to ride lightly. Luckily, I wasn't going to ride him heavily anyway, so we're all good!

Well, some Saturday this turned out to be.
A can’t mow the weeds and grass in the yard, because it’s just too darn wet . All I’m doing was digging holes in the mud. I’m gonna wait till I can get a good 3 days of sunshine, before I try again. I’m tired I’m hurting and I’m hungry. (And that’s all I have to say about that!)
