My Big Mistake

It doesn't pay to get angry or too sad about things. I deleted a lot of things on my Blog I wish I hadn't from last summer & fall. Now I regret it. Sometimes I need to put away or get rid of things that upset me. Recently I had been going through some major disappointments and lashed out by removing photos & excerpts in my Blog that meant a lot to me at the time. Now they are gone forever. I will try to replace it in some way but of course it won't be the same as chronicling something from the start. Next time I will take a deep breath and think about things a few days before I do something I regret. It was like ripping pages out of an ongoing diary.
Now I can't go back to those pages of my life.

Chilly February ride.

Then and Now / New mind, new body.


This is what Beau looked like April 1st of 2006 the day I got him.
Here is what he looks like right now with lot of love, good nutrition
and a healthy environment.

Reflection of Respect


After a good training session in the ring Beau lets me know what he thought of our time together.

Cracker turns 10


Cracker's Birthday was Sept. 25th. She turned 10 years old.
I feel bad I hadn't posted on that day. She means the world to me. Here she is with her new birthday present "Yippity Yappity Frog".

Beau loses his shoes and gets a pedicure :






Of course Beau isn't actually getting a pedicure but going through the process to get his feet healthy again. No more
shoes for Beau but he does have "Thrush" in his front feet and back. The back feet are much worse and Beau doesn't like his
hind quarters messed with. But he did really well. He gets along great with his new "Equine Podiatrist".
He doesn't need a farrier anymore but someone who understands the mechanics and workings of the hoof inside and out.
Beau's new "Hoof Man" as I like to call him also thinks about whole horse health. What goes into your horse also affects his overall health, especially his feet. Beau makes an excellent candidate for going "shoeless".
