    The Right Direction :)

    I'll try to get those blinders off of the headstall, I would much rather not have them on anyways just so he can see me lland what I'm asking him to do for now. It rained yesterday so I couldn't go out, and it's raining right now, so Idk if today is going to be another training day or not. I had...

    Well it was really nice today so I thought hey why not start now? The headstall I have for him has blinders and Im not sure if they come off, but I put it on him anyways. He took it like a champ and stood there while I tried to figure out his gear lol. He most definitely needs work! He knows how...

    Clippers Whats Best?

    I <3 my Andis AGC super 2 speed clippers. Yes your horse has to be totally dry while clipping, and the cleaner the horse the better. I swear it goes through my horses coat like there's no tomorrow. They're also really super quiet which is great for those horses that don't like the clipper sounds.

    sending prayers to all those in the Midwest in storm path

    Where are these storms hitting? We're fine here in NW Indiana, not even a drop of rain, though supposedly it will rain tomorrow which is unlikely since they keep predicting rain. Hope the storms aren't causing any damage and hope everyone is ok, crazy Midwest weather.

    Ok, so since my paint mare is out of commission, and my gelding is developing arthritis, and I'm out on medical and can't actually ride due to my bad hip ( I know, only 23 and a bad hip ) I have a harness for 2 minis and a harness for a larger mini, plus a small cart that the minis used to drive...

    a upsetting visitor

    I can't believe the morons that think horses are like lawn ornaments that you don't have to take care of. It's not as severe, but my uncle bought a horse (total newbie knows nothing) and he does absolutely nothing with the horse. All they do is pet it and feed him treats, not to mention the...

    The Deed is Done...**Almost** PiCS!!!

    It's like opening a Christmas present! I love that smoky black mare of yours ;) Very pretty! I can't wait to clip Spirit and find out if his stripe is serious...or some countershading.

    I think Charm felt the same way. She just wanted out of that hot fuzzy coat.

    The Deed is Done...**Almost** PiCS!!!

    Lol that halter bugged the crud out of me the whole time I was clipping her! It was practically falling off of her itty bitty face

    The Deed is Done...**Almost** PiCS!!!

    Oh and I know her halter is WAAAAAY too big for her, but it was the only one I could find. And that last picture was an inbetween pic, we took a little break and she totally deserved it for being such a champ! I want to thank everyone from the beginning when I had no idea what I was doing for...
