Surprisewind, where are you?

I owe one splendiferous and mulerrific poem to dear Mike, a horse about whom I know little except that he is beloved. Can Surprisewind, our generous reader and donor to the "x-rays for Fenway" poetry fund drive, please check in? Share a photo or two, and give us the deets on Mike?

Thanks, and ears to you!

Also coming at www.fairyrabbit.com, a poem for the cutest of Caviidae, Charlie the guinea pig! Watch for it.

Today, I practice ground driving in harness. My new driving bridle*, I find, is easier to wear if FarmWife sings to me throughout our lessons. My favorite number is, as always, "Oh Mr. Fenway" in all of it's improvised variations. Though FarmWife's singing could have been better here, I think it shows where her heart is.

Brayfully yours,
Fenway

 *Lest you worry, let me assure you that I do move with bold confidence in my blinders so long as FarmWife vocalizes, and I am so looking forward to not seeing the evil MEDUSA behind me when next we undertake that lesson.

    I'm sorry! I've been otherwise occupied and had forgotten about this. Thank you! I will send pictures and a brief Mike bio tomorrow.

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...
