Agree with you about the hens, @pitbullmomma. Nicole just attacked one of the chicks. They had mostly integrated, but one got trapped in the tractor. Nicole grabbed her comb and made it bleed. We were already thinking of rehoming her, since we have over our capacity of chickens. This just cements it.
 
Seriously! I am having full blown serious conversations with chicks, I need you guys. BTW chicks aren't having any of me today, guess because im stinky and mentholated. Don't blame them one bit, even though I stink for their benefit. Ungrateful little brats.:)

I bashed my pinky finger with a hammer today! Ouch! 20180402_182134.jpg
 
I seriously HATE one of my mom's horses. Tuxson is a 17-18 year old OTT Thoroughbred gelding. My sister got him when he was 6-7 years old and he was a complete nut case. He made her into the rider she is today (she is a jockey at Pen National) but she could never get him to show because he wouldn't perform at events. She seriously regrets not selling him when one offered her $10,000 for him about 5 years ago. Well, he is now retired and living here as one of my mom's "lawn ornaments". The other horse, Ninabell, is a 5 year old OTT Thoroughbred, but she is a sweet girl.

Well my parents were out of town through the weekend and will be until Wednesday and I'm feeding the horses and their cat. Well, just a little while ago, I went out to feed them. I took a bale of hay into their run in and Tuxson ran in and tried to knock the bale out of my hands and me into the wall. When I told him to GIT he turned his back to me and threatened to kick me. I had to pop the twine off the bale and start whippng that around to get him away from me. When I brought his grain, I was reaching over the fence and trying to knock the bucket out of my hands. I grabbed a lead rope and started twirling it over my head and whacking the ground with it to make him give me some space. I made him stand away for a full minute after I filled the bucket before I let him at it, he then started trying to crowd me when I was filling the other Ninabell's bucket and I had to do the same thing. I let her close and made him stand off. My mom told me to tell him tomorrow that if he hurts anyone, she will shoot him when she comes back.

My mom gave me permission to feed them over the fence even though it will be raining and to walk away with their grain if he starts acting up. Ninabell is a little overweight, so it won't hurt her any to go without the grain.

Did I say I really HATE that horse?

Was he gelded late? Or did he have a testie in hiding they missed?

I had a friend who got a horse that was gelded late. He was a grade a tater! He also suffered some abuse from his previous owner. (Part of the reason she bought him was to get him out of there)
He hated men. Had food and stall aggression. He used to love to fart on me when I'd brush his tail. He was great to show but stubborn as all hell. I used to call him snot face.
I got my lucky horse shoes from him though! While riding he managed to pull them off his front feet by burying one end in the ground and twisting them off. Got both in one ride with me and I didn't fall off. Hence they are my lucky horse shoes!

We don't know much about him before 5 yo except he came from the Mexican racing circuit. I believe they did check him for an undescended testicle. They might have gelded him after they were done trying to race him, but we don't know for sure. I've ridden him a couple times, but that was when my sister had him in good training and was there to ride him first to gauge his mood. Now, no one here is a good enough rider to take him on. My mom used to be a pretty good rider, but she is too fragile now to try it. She is talking about trying to work with Ninabell when the weather is better.
