Just a Quick Reminder

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INeEJXyyo1I



This is an old video, taken around the beginning of July when I should not have been running on that hock. FarmWife made the mistake of calling to me when I was in an animated mood, and should have known better. In any case, it serves well as a reminder of my splendiferous brayfulness, and no lasting harm was done.

Things to note in this video:

1) My tremendous response to being summoned. I love heeding FarmWife's call!

2) My sonorous and tuneful singing voice, which puts Susan Boyle to shame.

3) My frustration at the end of the video, which has been relieved since the opening of the electric fence just after July 4th, 2010.  "Independence Day," indeed! There were many succulent mouthfuls to be had behind that barely-visible barrier, let me tell you.

4) My physical fitness. Those heaving sides hide an athlete's heart and a pair of lungs like none other. Do not be deceived—I am not winded in this short clip, just fueling the tremendous oxygen-burning furnace within.

Ears to you!

Fenway

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...
