Further Clarification

What is this "blown cover" talk? There is no cover. I am a very straightforward guy, and I like to tell it like it is. These are the facts: I am in possession of a human. She sometimes works as my transcriptionist, typing whilst I dictate. She sometimes inspires me, or influences me with her wisdom and whimsy. Sometimes, even, she sneaks onto the computer while I am sleeping and posts emotional, heartwrenching stories of my lameness for all to read. "FarmWife," I tell her, "it is not all that bad. I have three legs that work quite well, and that still suffice to carry me to the office window that I might dictate the daily blog posts."

So, excepting when dear FarmWife inserts herself as an uninvited "guest blogger," you can look for daily updates from me—your friend, Fenway Bartholomule. In the meantime, I'll keep an ear on her and try to prevent future interruptions to your "Straight-from-the-Mule's-Mouth" service!

Love,
Fenny

    Fenny,
    I never thought that rock-solid, redoubtable writer's voice belonged to anyone else but you. Farmwife, we love you anyway.

    You're an inspiration, Fenway.
    As a Mule, as a Blogger, and a Supreme Creature of the Universe. My Woman has learned from and been inspired by all you share, and I'm shyly and tentatively venturing into the world of equine blogging myself. Thanks for blazing the way - I continue to be your loyal fan.

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. FB http://www.besthorsestuff.com/ShowAd/index.php?id=4deed0d102f85 For Sale: 18 inch Schleese Jes Elite dressage saddle with Flair Air panels.  This saddle is in exceptionally good, like-new condition with the exception of needing repairs to the front left air bag.  Our Schleese saddle fitter (at the May 28, 2011 fitting) quoted the repair cost at $75-$150. 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...
