Still in the hospital...also might need more surgery...like 99.9% sure I'll be having it in the next week or so...

Alright, so- for the last 15 days I've been in the hospital.  Durring that stay I had to have an emergancy surgery that removed 10 inches of my intestines.  I finally got to come home last night, a week after the surgery.  It's going to be a looooooong road to recovery and I can pretty much hang horseback riding up for at least 6 months.  I can't ( Read more... )

Phoenix left today. I drew up a lease agreement and everything. It's official. The agreement is though, that I can come out and see or ride him whenever I want. I just wish he was going to be closer. The barn he'll be going to in 30 days is over an hour away ( Read more... )

I'm really, really considering not getting rid of Phoenix now. The lady who wants to lease him hasn't signed anything yet, and she keeps pushing the dates back as to when she is going to pick him up. It's been over a month since she said she wanted him, and three weeks since she was originally going to come and pick him up ( Read more... )

I found a home for Phoenix today.  Details still need to be worked out since it's going to be a long term free lease, but it's still stressful for me.

Stupid money issues....

But at least I still have Melody and Ginger, and my husband has his Gracie.

Well.  All my plans with Phoenix might be short lived.  My husband is looking into another job a  few States over.  When looking into rent plus board for the horses he announced that we can only take one horse- and that is HIS mare, Gracie ( Read more... )

Since my lessons have gotten most of the fear of riding back out of me, I've become a bit more braver with my riding.  I'm learning to jump again, most of my lesson is spent on canter work, and that horrible gut-wrenching fear before each ride has left completely.

So, where does this lead me?  Wanting to ride Melody.  (this also mostly steams from ( Read more... )

UGH!  I was gone for 3 fricken days and Ginger lost 30 lbs!!!!!!! grumble grumble grumble My pet sitter swears they followed my feeding chart to the 'T', so I don't know :\  Glad I didn't stay away longer!!!

Ginger has been home now for two weeks and already she's put on a lot of much needed weight.  I didn't weigh her the first week she was home, but I've been monitoring her since.  Ginger only needs 70 lbs to be back to normal at this point, which is a HUGE sigh of relieve.  Still don't really know what to do with her, I'm still asking around for ( Read more... )
