Some Pictures Just Need Captions.



I think the key to the Cheezburger network's success must be that they satisfy some deep, inner need among humans to caption things. FarmWife, for one, cannot look at a silly picture without wanting to caption it. 

Invisible Mirror
There goes flasher goat with the boobs again!
Monorail Kitty waits at the station
But then, some photos need no words . . .


It's looking like a busy couple of days at Bent Barrow Farm, but I'll be back with you when I can. In the meantime, does anyone have a suggestion for keeping deer flies off my—ahem—wedding tackle? No flyspray in the world, nor any sort of herb, seems to scare them, and FarmWife is beside herself with worry. Now I have edema around my belly button, and I know she'd feel better if she could help.

Thanks in advance and, as always . . . ears to you!

    I cracked up at the goat flasher picture! Mr. H and I have recently fell in love with goats and we cannot get enough of them!
    The last picture is very handsome! I feel it's wall worthy...you should sell some of them if you don't already, they are beautiful.

    Fenway, I put a heavy emollient on my mare's udder. It's 10Sweet by Equitelligent - shea butter based with essential oils. I use it for just about anything needing more moisture - a dry tail bone, and protection from dew to prevent scratches. It has magical healing properties.

    But if I just needed something to bedevil the little devils, burden their landing gear and clog up their nasty little mouths, I'd slather on generic Crisco.

    Crisco - interesting. I have heard War Paint works well for the flies. Mom is going to buy some this week when she orders my supplements.

    Your fren,

    FarmWife tried SWAT this week, to which I say, "BLECH!," and "CRIKEY!," and "NEVER AGAIN!"

    I have a bit of an oinment-phobia, but FarmWife says we must work on that. I, for one, like Dunie's advice . . . a nice spray is just the ticket.

    and, Annie Rose, thank you. That picture is going to be on the cover of my 2011 BRAYS OF OUR LIVES wall calendar! I do hope you'll want one!

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...
