And, in the spirit of parody lyrics . . .

A favorite song of mine:

You may find yourself living in a wooden shack
You may find yourself with friends all over the world
You may find yourself towed behind a large automobile
You may find yourself in a beautiful field, with a beautiful goat
You may ask yourself: "Well, what can I eat here?"

Eating the grass and hay/eating some little plants
Eating the grass and hay/grass is growing under
Onto the trail again/after the hay is gone
Morning and evening/hay and grass thereunder

You may ask yourself
How do I work this?
You may ask yourself
Where's that electric gate handle?
You may tell yourself
This cannot be all of the grass!
You may tell yourself
I must get to the good, greener grass!


Eating the grass and hay/eating some little plants
Eating the grass and hay/grass is growing under
Onto the trail again/after the hay is gone
Once every weekend/once when Thursday comes round

Great as I ever was . . . Great as I ever was . . . 
Great as I ever was . . . Great as I ever was . . . 
Great as I ever was . . . Great as I ever was . . . 
Great as I ever was . . . Great as I ever was . . . 

Salt block dissolving . . . rain water removing
Here is FarmWife . . . moving it under the shed roof
Out of the water,
Ears to the water,
But do move the salt block under the shed roof. 

Eating the grass and hay/eating some little plants
Eating the grass and hay/grass is growing under
Onto the trail again/after the hay is gone
Once every weekend/once when each Thursday comes round


Onto the trail again, on to the scenic paths
Over the rocks and stones, across wet and sandy ground, 
Letting the miles go by, crossing rushing water,
Twice every week, now, we ride 'cross this ground

And you may ask yourself,  
How dare that beautiful goat?
And you may ask yourself 
Where does that new trail go?
And you may ask yourself? 
Am I right? Of course I am! 
And you may bray out loud,
FarmWife, my HAY IS GONE! 

Eating the grass and hay/eating some little plants
Eating the grass and hay/grass is growing under
Onto the trail again/after the hay is gone
Once every weekend/once when each Thursday comes round

Onto the trail again, on to the scenic paths
Over the rocks and stones, 'cross wet and sandy ground, 
Letting the miles go by, crossing rushing water,
Twice every week, now, we ride 'cross this ground


Eating the grass and hay . . . 
Eating the grass and hay . . . 
Eating the grass and hay . . . 
Trail riding twice a week . . . .

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...
