Hi @TropicalBabies! I was just thinking of posting in this thread because I haven't seen anyone post in a while. And wow, it is GORGEOUS where you are! It does look like a slice of heaven. Sorry to hear about the colt and mare. Guess some things just don't work out...hopefully you can get a third horse one day!

Nothing much new is going on over in my world...but last Sunday I did go to my stable's Christmas party! It was fun. I tried the game 'ride a buck' for the first time, as well. I was the third one out but the mare (pics below) I rode is pretty hot and unseated me a few times when she got excited.

This is Amarillo, the mare I've been practicing barrels with. I dressed her up as a sleigh horse and we even won second place in 'best homemade costume' for the contest.

Great photos!!! So glad you two shared. Fantastic everybody is still able to get out and about and play.
I had a super sick chicken for over a month, then I got the flu and now have a bad cold. Back to back to back bad luck. Well, it's been going around so i guess it was my turn . I have not been working with Hombre much due to all of the sickness for so long. A week or so ago (in between illnesses ha ha... cough, cough!) I had him in the round pen, warming him up, doing groundwork he was acting funny, couldn't poop. He is an excellent pooper, so I quickly grew concerned thinking he was colicky, I took him for a long walk around the property where he commenced to rearing and bucking, the little jerk. Thought he was going to hurt me but all I was was mad at what a pain he is if he is not worked constantly... terrible dispo, no respect. He is fine by the way, after samples, psyllium, hay and more samples he is good. Just a scare and reminder to stay with good practices.
I did have my friend come for a few rides and that is very helpful because she can go all day and really makes him sweat. BUT, my truck is in getting painted now and my "other horse" can't carry a saddle. Foiled again.
so much nicer and cheaper than Hombre... he should worry, he could do a lot worse then me.

I would be out riding too if we hadn’t just moved all the animals. Including Hudson. There is a giant bushfire very close and we were thinking it’s a possibility that we will get embers over here in the coming days. Mum decided it would be safer to have less animals such as a horse and chickens to worry about so we moved the Guinea pigs as well. The rabbits we kept here as they are not very heat tolerant at all.

Oh no! I was reading our past posts before posting here again. I was thinking how great it was you were past the drought and fire scares of last season thinking Hudson would be chewing on grass now..... I stand corrected. So sorry. Hudson should be out grazing and getting more phat. hope this situations turns around and all is well as soon as possible. Take care, you will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

One good thing about my little sour mule is he stood with his leg cocked, loving it while i decoed him. Cisco was more concerned about the ribbons. Happy Holidays all!!
