Honey
A Tribute to Double Dip Supreme

Little Honey went with Avie 


Out into the field,

And when poor Avie passed away, 


Dear Honey helped hearts heal. 



Wee Honey waded through the grass with nary e’en a taste,
And yet she moved with gladness
And with lightness and with grace. 

Never spiteful, never irksome, 
Always a delight,
Sweet Honey was a playful friend, 
Her pretty eyes alight. 

Patient teacher, driving master, 
Wise and clever one,
Good Honey did a fine day’s work
And filled the farm with fun.

A friend to Breeze, she moved with ease,
She played and danced and squealed,
And in her muzzle Little Honey
Romped about the field.

A pretty little pinto mare,
So beautiful, so kind,
Sweet Honey is remembered—
She’ll be cherished for all time.

Her friends remember Honey
As an angel, as a gem,
And they speak of her good nature
And the things she gave to them.

She was a friend a friend should have—
So full of love and light—
Thanks, Honey, for the magic
That you brought into these lives.

  1. Honey was the delight of the barn. She had a wonderful life with a kind and devoted owner who saw to her every need. All creatures should be as loved as she was. This poem is a lovely tribute, we miss you Honey. MJ,Gerry, Doc and Dallas

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...
