All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go


Day six with my new thoroughpin, though I'm still sound as can be and rarin' to go. We have the vet's blessing to resume work, but FarmWife says we're taking another week off. Looks like it's comfrey compresses and a bit of lounging about for yours truly! Look for me to be fighting fit in time for the birthday trail ride on the first weekend in June, though. Wouldn't miss it.

Love,

UPDATE:

***FENBAR BACK WITH BREAKING NEWS! MY THOROUGHPIN HAS REDUCED BY 75% SINCE BREAKFAST TIME! WE'LL BE BACK ON THE TRAIL IN NO TIME!***

    Got my new Mules and More Magizine yesterday. I loved the article about Fenway! I'm excited to see what he's got to say about life!
    God Bless,

    Welcome! I'm glad you're here. If there's one thing I like more than a nice fat flake of orchard grass hay, it's a new reader at Brays Of Our Lives. FarmWife did me proud with that article and I couldn't be more tickled to see you coming by!

Here are the Cloud Dog's X-Rays

Here, for your edification, are the X-rays of dear Paisley's leg. There is, apparently, no new break (since his Monday siezure) but there is, of course, a great deal of abnormality caused by years of living with a shortened ulna. His pronounced lameness, the vet says, may temporarily improve. Unlike me, Fenway Bartholomule, poor cloud dog can't expect much in the way of a full recovery.   Not having the $$$$ for surgery to fuse the joint, we are working on making some sort of rigid splint to support the limb and prevent further degeneration. That is, the humans (with their space-age material inventions and their opposable thumbs) are working on making a splint; I am working on giving cloud dog brayful looks of support and encouragement every time he totters into the yard to relieve himself. As always, he fears me (me?!) and keeps his distance.  Ears to you,  Fenway

Saddle fitting nightmare

I wonder if they had to pay a saddle fitter to tell them the Schleese didn't fit.

The tree is currently set to "wide" and can be fully adjusted by a saddle fitter.  See the Schleese website for more details. Asking $1200 OBO, a significantly reduced price compared to the current market value of $2000 for the same saddle in pristine, like-new condition. NOTE:  The "saddle rack" is not for sale.  Heehee! Please contact us for more details, serial numbers, questions, or pictures of the saddle.  This is very nice, quality, comfortable and correct saddle for a fraction of the cost, even after the r...
