A delicious salad


I, Fenway Bartholomule, have just dined upon a most delicious salad of sliced apples, black oil sunflower seeds, and alfalfa-leaf with a delicate glucosamine and MSM dressing. The alfalfa, limited by FarmWife to a serving size of one tablespoon per 1000 pounds body weight, is the most rare and toothsome ingredient, but the MSM and glucosamine are the reason for the salad's existence and get, in their own right, high marks for palatability. I have John at www.HaHahorses.com and his kind sponsors at Omega Alpha to thank for the liquid joint supplement, which came as part of a prize package valued at $145. Wowee, zowee! That's a lot of vitamins, and we look forward to sharing the bounty with our favorite sport horse trainers. With a barn full of equine athletes, the folks at Cain Lake Stables will find a use for the many supplements that I don't eat myself. I am but one mule, and my nutritional needs are simple; hay, a salt block, fresh water. The occasional carrot. And, given my hock history, a joint supplement. This one is perfect.

Ears to HaHaHorses, ears to Omega Alpha, and ears to you!

    Congrats on the prize! Have you had FarmWife feed you watermelon yet? You should send her out for some while it's still in season.

    His Honorary Muleness Mr. Blondie points out that alfalfa should be consumed in larger quantities than 1 T per 1,000 lb of body weight. Much larger, in fact. He reminds FarmWife of the tummy-soothing effects of the calcium in the alfalfa. Plus it's yummy.

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...
