Actually, just wanted to share a recent photo of Buster. I am so happy with how good he looks for a 23 year old "high mileage" horse.  |

I like the photos here - they are so much bigger than on Facebook!

Buster looks totally fabulous! Wow, we should all age so well.  And I think if that mare stood in my barn, I wouldn't be able to resist calling her Blondie.  |

I did call her the blonde bombshell for awhile...snicker. Sometimes she is more the blonde stinker, but mostly a good horse.
Can you believe it, I have come off her 3 times? yikes... but 2 of them don't count"
1. She fell off the trail and I found myself standing besider her - doesn't count because I didn't really fall off, more like stood up - haha
2. Shot a gun off her back which she took issue with. yeah, that time I fell off
3. took her to the river - she hates water but was super thirsty so was quite happy to dive in and actually crossed a belly deep finger of the river - good girl! Well, apparently the sand was quite tempting so she DROPPED to the ground in an instant once we were on shore. I was yelling at her as I lept off - again more like stood up! - and she didn't roll... but sheesh that happened fast. My friend M about had a heart attack because she was looking at her and later confirmed to me that she gave me no warning - just plopped down...haha

Nice of the power company to install that wire for scratching. I have horsehair on my support wires as well. Do you suppose they install these "scratchers" in all pastures?

Buster looks great but I LOVE that yellow mare. She is the perfect color and has my favorite markings. Sounds like none of your unplanned dismounts were too bad. Any one of mine would take issue with a gunshot and I've been in that rolling after the river scene too.

I think Buster is very handsome! (hmmmmm.... sort of reminds me of Mason!) P.S. Can't wait to see all of the pics! Don't forget to put some in the "call for pictures" album so Trailpal can put them in the banner! |
