    Slick's Party gig

    Slick was booked today at a summer party at the neighbor's house. There was a volley ball court, balloons, a high power water hose, and screaming kids and adults of course. Slick took it all in stride and was an amazingly good boy. I took a turn in the wagon once the piñata came out and all the...

    Slick's ear

    I just got off the phone with the vet, and yes Slick has a sarcoid type wart. I knew that, but now I know for sure. Anyway, treatment is to apply a zanex blistering agent for 4 days in a row, wait 10 more days and apply again, if needed. I am sure he will need it. It is a bad one. So, for...

    Slick's ear, again

    My mini Slick has had a bad case of ear plaque for many years. Well, we have a new vet now and he thought it would be a good idea to biopsy it and find out exactly what it is and maybe there will be a treatment that will work. Freezing it didn't work, Dermafas didn't work and antibiotic cream...

    Catalina gets a harness

    I just got this harness from my MIL for free! She shipped it to me and everything for nothing. But she got it at an auction and had not tried it on any of her horses. So, I found out it is totally mix-matched. The headstall does not go with this harness. But it fits, so that is ok. The chest...

    Dogs and Driving

    Today Loren and I took Rocky out for a drive. He was a little spitfire, as usual. He really just cuts loose and trots out like a mad man! (Sorry, no pictures) Anyway, another neighbor had a loose dog. The dog is a big cattle dog mix. The dog came running out, hackles up and barking his head...

    How Many Kids?

    So, what is the Maximum payload on my little wagon? Well, today was a very nice day so I decided to get Slick out for a drive. One of the neighbor’s came over while I was hooking up and asked if her kids could go for a ride. I said sure. Well, there were 6 of them. 2 of hers and 4 of her...

    anyone have Caviler King Charles Spaniels?

    We lost our little Toy Fox Terrier, Tonka, to cancer at the age of 14 in March 07. My aunt bought us a Mini Aussie because she could tell we were heartbroken over the loss of our sweet Tonka. Well, then we moved out of her house to our own and had no fenced yard. We put up the horse fencing...

    Buying horses in the winter

    If you are looking at minis to buy in the winter, how can you tell if they are good quality and have pretty heads, necks and bodies under all that fur? How can you tell about foals especially?

    Driving Rocky

    My cousin oldest Rick is here from Ca visiting with my grandmother and cousin Kim up north of us for a few days. My grandmother is not doing well, so my relatives are coming in out of the wood work to see her. Well, Ricky drove Kim down to see us and I took Kim out for a drive with Rocky. It was...

    The Grimm Reapess,the Knight & the Ninja

    Sounds like a good book title!!! But actually, it was just me, Lady Grimm, my son the knight and his friend, the Ninja. We had a great time in the wagon with the death horse, Slick. He was such a good boy. I wish we had better pictures, but you will get the idea!! We went trick-or-treating...

    I took the "Hot Rod" out today!

    My other mini, Slick, has been doing the driving around here. I bought him already broke to drive, so I knew he was at least a little experienced at it. But then there is Rocky. He came from an auction over 2 years ago and has been abused badly by someone. He is not the most trusting of horses...

    Wish me Luck!!!!!

    I am gonna need it!! I submited my book (Fantasy Fiction) to a writers contest on Amazon.com. I changed the title and re-worked the entire thing and doubled it's length to 75,000 words. I submited it to a publisher almost 3 weeks ago, and she had not done a thing with it yet. I told her I...

    Loren Drives Slick

    Today was a very nice day here in Washington. Loren has a bad cold, but wanted to go outside anyway. So I hooked up Slick, put his "Jesus Shoes" on him and off we went. We had a great time driving down the road and Loren asked me if he could drive for a while. So, I let him take the reins. He...

    I LOVE SLICK!!

    I have a 13 y/o 'B' gelding named Slick (Monarch's Cherry Bomb) and we have just started driving him. The first few times were just around our property and only once down our road. When he went down the road he was sore and not forward at all. I actually got out and walked him on the way home...

    What do you mean we are not Draft Horses?

    I bought this harness; it is a studded pairs work harness for ponies, thinking it might fit my minis, maybe. Well, no. Not even a little bit. It is just way to big all over. I would have loved for it to fit though. So, now due to my over anxiousness, I have to sell this one before I can buy...

    Where can I get boots for minis?

    I think I will be needed some boots for Rocky and Slick when I am driving them out on the road. I know Old Macks have boots, but they don't go down to mini sizes. Is there another brand I could try? Thanks!!

    I drove Slick and it was great!!

    Well, Slick was a total trooper. I have no idea when he was hooked last, but it has been several years to say the least. I know I have not drived in over 10, so we are both a little rusty at this, but Slick, Loren and I had a great time! I can't wailt to hook him again!!! By By!!!
