A comedy of errors

Here's what FarmWife wrote about this ridiculous little movie when she uploaded it to Youtube today:

"There are a couple of humorous and humbling moments in this film, which I took as a means of seeing myself cantering on Fenway Bartholomule. 


1) Note how I failed to tell him, "stand," and therefore he walked away at the beginning of the movie. I wasn't worried. He whoas and comes on command. 


2) Note how my girth slipped when I mounted. (Whoops!) I do tend to keep a slightly looser girth than perhaps I should, because he gets rubs in his elbows if it's done up tightly. 


I hope you can find some entertainment value in this silly little clip and refrain from judging my mulemanship or my cinematography!"

As for me, Fenway Bartholomule, I say "note the surging power of my stride! Note the lithe athleticism and churning force of my motion! Note what a good boy I am, and how I carry that lady with nary a complaint!" I also ask that you enjoy the quiet interlude between the going from and the coming towards the camera—consider it a chance to meditate upon the Muleness of the universe.

Ears,
Fenway Bartholomule

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...
