This is my first experiment with a video GIF. I've been watching GIFs for some time now and kind of have mixed emotions. Thought I would try one to see what I think.

<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I
walked into the pony pen to check on Pepper. He was lying down but got up when
he heard my voice. He was bearing some weight on the lame foot by the time I
got over to him. He walked off and seemed a little better. He wasn’t dragging
the toe like he was two days ago and there seems to be a little flex in the
joint. I observed him for a few minutes and decided I wouldn’t call the vet.
Today is the day the vet is in Portales area and it costs less on a farm call. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I
had started my truck to warm up since I was heading to town. As I was climbing
in realized I had the good cane with me. Also, I coughed just a little and
thought I really needed cough drops to take with me. This meant unlocking the
house to go in and take care of these two items. Neither was drastic and I
didn’t really ‘need’ to do it. But, I chose to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">As
I came out my door, a white truck turned in with a man driving. As he got out
of the truck he held up a bottle and said he was close and decided to run the
Xterra by here rather than leaving it in town at our drop off. It was Ryan,
Doc’s new vet. Since he was here I asked if he had just a few minutes to look
at Pepper. He said yes. I gave him the health information from the last two
days as we went to the pen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Now,
I want you to visualize just how prepared we were for this undertaking. We had
neither halter nor means to catch and hold him while Ryan checked him out. And
the only help he had was me – an old lady with cane. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">We
actually were able to make it work even though Pepper had other thoughts about
the situation. As he cleaned the foot and found nothing he realized that Pepper
was sensitive to pressure on the frog. He retrieved his hoof testers from the
truck and found a tender spot. He dug it out and opened an abscess. He told me
to pack it with Betadine and sugar and wrap for 24 hours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Later in the day
when I had both Tiffany and Jas here to help, they worked together, one holding
the foot and the other cleaning, packing and wrapping. He actually seemed to
walk a little better immediately although you could tell by the leg lift the
hoof felt very different.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Yes, horse ‘band
aids’ are like those of people – all colors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Week later update:
His foot is back to normal.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

the North with really heavy gusts. When I went up to do the nooners (special
feed and medicine handouts) I took the camera. All the mares and geldings in
their pens were tails to the wind. I got out the camera and took a picture with
the intent of posting it to answer the question people continue to ask about the
horses keeping warm in the cold weather. Answer to wind – turn your tail and
wait it out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
This photo was taken at a
Christmas Barn party several years ago and there is a story to this picture. It
is of my husband, Ray, who was the Christmas Grinch. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
He would always refer to the
helmets as ‘chicken hats’ and, of course, being the old cowboy (real deal
believe me) he wouldn’t be caught in one of them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
One of my students got the idea
that we needed to make Ray his very own ‘chicken hat’ so we did. Spray painted
a broken helmet bright pink and pasted pictures of chickens on it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
This was wrapped very carefully
and, when we had a lot of bystanders, it was presented to him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
The old cowboy was a good sport
about it and we all had a really good laugh.<o:p></o:p></div>

The photos are ones that I took in black and white - no photo shopping. It was a very interesting experience to look through the lens in black and white. Since that challenge I made myself check out other settings in the camera and am having a ball. I would challenge anyone to check out what their camera has to offer and do something different. Cell phones have a wide variety of applications that make it a different photo.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I
think poor Butch had enough of this human by the end of the lesson today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">

<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">A
new, little, annoying bee showed up after our first cold spells. It hovers just
like the bot fly but tends to cozy up to the human rather than the horse. Picky
being that I am I want them out of our space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">There
was one close to Butch’s head and I was focused on it as it flew between his
head and the wall. I figured I could hit it with my cap and do it in if it got
just a little closer to the hard surface. Conditions came together and I hit. WHACK!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">My
strike was sudden and loud and accurate. Neither Butch nor Goober was impressed
with my accuracy and let all of us know with a loud ‘snort’ and body pull back.
Thankfully both horses only took one sudden step back then their attention came
right back to the riders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Well,
one time to spook the horse apparently was not enough for me. We were at the
arena and riding was going well when a bee started circling mom who was not
riding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Again,
me to the rescue. Cap in hand I waited for the right moment. That happened just
as Butch and his rider were passing about 3 feet from me. A mighty swing and -
WHAP!!!! Butch sucked to the side saying, “I don’t think so”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">When
I talked to the rider later I found out she was paying close attention to the
environment. From across the arena she saw my body language change to ‘bee battle
mode’ and had a pretty good idea of what was going on and could happen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">She
was able to prepare in case something sudden happened and Butch didn’t like it.
She was able to ride through the spook with no problem at all. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I
have to brag on my girl because when this girl started with me she had been on
a run away horse and ended her ride very scared. Today she showed huge
progress. Not only did the horse spook but she was in the English saddle for
the first time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoHeader">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I
have to brag on Butch because when he came to me if either bug swats would have
happened, he would have left the barn and in the arena taken off with the
rider.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

As the school rolls on realistically the time comes that I have to pull
an old trusty horse out of service – this summer it was Drafty. By then they
have such an impressive resume that when I look into my herd I don’t have a
horse that can take their place. So, I begin to check out talents, and
attitudes to see who needs to try what next – just like the students.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
This year I have noticed a
change in Target to indicate that he is maybe maturing and just might be
willing to try some different rider energies. I am always cautious when I
introduce autistic and other – what I think of as broken energy – to the
horses. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Target was recently introduced
to Tourette’s energy. Inside the barn during tack up he was somewhat
uncomfortable with it. However, when we went to the arena, my rider did what he
needed to and Target calmed down and they had a really good ride.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
When we returned to the barn,
Target was in a relaxed mood and untack went without incident. </div>

Dan continually lets the volunteers and me know about his ‘steel trap’
mind that never forgets anything. He is so good to point out what we forget so
…. When there is a water puddle in this location the pony tank overflowed. The
reason – someone forgot. Also, this is the first fill after installing the new
faucet so fill time has gone to 15 minutes instead of 2 hours. Which did you
forget son?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Smudge was born here and has been very hit and miss as far as
breaking/training. She has a very hot temper and gets mad quickly. We are in
the ‘work on Smudge mode’ again. A volunteer has been working with her on her
lunch hour to correct a problem with ‘body blocking’ that she does. She will
move herself to push you out of her way and you can get hurt in the process.
Meg is making progress with her on that. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
On this particular day, I
decided to work on tying her up and letting her stand for a bit. In the past
within about 3 minutes she is stressing, fidgeting and getting mad. On this day
she surprised me and stood for 30 minutes with three 15 second demonstrations
of impatience. She didn’t get mad. A lot of the time she looked like she was
processing information and thinking about her situation. She never did cock a
back foot and totally relax to the ‘whatever’ point but to me she looked
comfortable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Notice the lead line across the top of her neck. When she raised her head and it tightened, she took her time and moved it off her neck rather than fighting it.</div>

Yes, laundry sorters are a necessary piece of barn equipment. We feed grass hay to the penned horses and
have to peel individual helpings from a large round bale. For me and the
volunteers, this makes it easy to transport to the pens. Now Dan, on the other
hand, uses just a pitchfork to stack loose hay on the cart to deliver. The
other morning the wind must have been blowing as he came through the arena
because there was a big bunch on the ground.
Knowing your horses scope out the slightest straw leaving a 3’ dump was
not a plan.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once again we furnished our pony rides for the annual Peanut Festival. This year we were inside the event center and in an area that afforded a resting place for the ponies away from the main crowd. It had rained early that morning so we arrived with wet ones. They did dry out before we needed to saddle up. All of them did their jobs of giving the little ones rides very well.</span> </div>
