I had thought that by properly closing the bin door would fix the problem..... Nooooooo, my persistent horse still banged on that door as a little grain would still pour out when he did. So, they all got locked up again. As you know, I have four horses in total... after I opened the yard gate, 2 of ...

I second the Carhartt jacket. I do live in -40, but I also have a light coat for non -40 days. Boots - I like the Mountain Horse winter paddock boot. Gloves - I was at Cabella's and found mitts that were a nice leather on the outside and then Thinsulate on the inside. The best part about them, was t...

Welcome back everyone!

Very handsome!

Tuddy

Nice! Looking forward to hearing more of his journey!

So, Yonka managed to get the bottom pin out of the bin door, which I don't think was properly closed to begin with. My husband properly fixed and closed the door, and when I let them out of the barnyard this morning.... I had one very offended #blondebastard to say the least.

Tuddy

This turned into my nightmare.... literally....

I have been up since 230 this morning because of all the banging.... "Mortimer" and his buddies are now locked up in the barn yard until I can fix the door of the grain bin.

My life is never ending chaos!

I was laying in bed, reading my book... I heard a bunch of clanging and and banging outside my bedroom window, I open said window to hear it better, and yup, something was banging on metal out in the pasture... the livestock owner in me got up - found some pants - and went investigating... and this ...

Tuddy

I think I need to purchase one of these.....

Ah, I am thinking my mother in law didn't realize that the L should sound like a w... fun fact I will tell my husband tonight.

*Just adding this here in case people didn't see it in the Observation Lounge* Pretty much followed the recipe but these were the changes I made as per some suggestions here and from other friends and family. I did not precook the rice or meat. My tomato base is actually one can of diced tomatoes an...

Okay everyone! Here they are! As I was rolling them, thinking to myself what the hell have I gotten myself into.... :lol: C Rolls 1.jpg The finished product...

You need a Canadian...

Tuddy

We also put a bag of drained/rinsed sauerkraut on top or between the layers inthe pan. .....I don't think salsa would give you the authentic Ukrainian taste. Ah, that would be a good way to instant sour the cabbage... I will buy a jar and layer it. I was just going to add the salsa for heat/kick (i...

Coffee date with my riding coach (yes, I said it... 8-) ) went very well on Friday. Zipped out to her place on Sunday to watch a clinic she was hosting and visit a bit more. We had some life stuff we had to discuss and cry over before we talked horses - we've known each other for 25 years, and the l...

can you sit comfortably, Sue B. if you sit in a chair, and sit up straight, and put your right hand on your right knee, now push down with your right hand, but lift your knee, so you are offering your own resistance leg lift, make sure you feel your abdominal muscles engage. My mother is a senior, ...

Thanks Chisamba! Flu bug gone... arm getting ultrasounded on the 24th. Yeesh. Now that winter showed up here, I have to actually wear pants. Boo to that! I want my summer dresses forever.... on a positive note though, said pants are sure sliding on a heck of a lot easier than when I put them away la...

.... I had my very first riding instructor, (who I loved but had to quit lessons with because of logistics and me being in school), has a spot open for me if I ever wanted, to come and hang out and take lessons with her. I told her we would chat later this fall. She has Canadians and while she pred...

Tuddy

Howdy friends!

Guess who caught a flu bug! BLAH! And may have tendonitis in her arm!

Doc appointment on Monday to check out my arm though, I can barely type, yet, had no issues doing all my moves and exercises at the pole studio on Wednesday for class - weird.

Have a great weekend!

Tuddy

oh me please! I had fun the last time I did it!

Tuddy

I don't have issues with nosebands, I just don't like seeing the mouth being closed shut.

Maybe I don't understand what a flash does, but it just isn't my cup of tea. I want my horse to be able chew and yawn if that is what it needs.

Tuddy

My first horse was a mare, and I would love to have another mare. I love my geldings, but they can be little boys sometimes and it drives me nuts.

Tuddy

Lots of good vibes to you and well wishes to your daughter!

I don't need a saddle, I don't need a saddle, I just sold my saddle, but I do have those wide horses, no no I don't need a saddle.... lol!!!

Tuddy

I liked this article...

But every rider, except the ones riding in a double bride, all had their horses mouths strapped shut.

Just sends me.

That's it, carry on.

Tuddy

:) he's 7/8 ayrab..... just colorful. The paint I had was a mare, and I had her bred to a nice Arab stallion, hoping to get color.... solid chestnut. :shock: When the foal hit the ground, I told it to get back in there and come out with some color! I had actually bought that saddle for that chestnu...

Tuddy

Rye! What a handsome fella! My very first horse was a Paint. And yes, I think he would look quite smart under a western saddle.

Tuddy

Beautiful!!!!

Tuddy

I pulled on a pair of jeans today without having to struggle to do them up. It was amazing.

Tuddy

Welp, I did it. I've been struggling with it for a while. Does it mean I will quit riding dressage? Well, that's a nope from me. But dressage is about the journey and the training, and not the tack. With these big shouldered Canadians of mine, I found a western saddle this spring that works well for...

Tuddy

Yay Rosie!
Mountaineer - what a gorgeous horse!

No update, just being a hobo. Horses are not happy that their pastures are turning sparse.

Tuddy

Competed in a 5 miler this morning -- 10th out of 148 in my age/gender group :D I just need to continue to build on the current streak and add in more early morning miles this month before a half in October. NICE!!!! I had family from out of town this weekend, and all we did was eat lol, but it was...

Tuddy

I have no update but just want to wish Rosie GOOD LUCK!

Tuddy

How we doing friends?! I am feeling 1000 percent better after last week's illness. I haven't been to the gym, but I have been running/walking everyday at home. Diet is back on track and I feel great!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Tuddy

I'm not trying to convert anyone, just hoping to be helpful No, this is great! Thanks for all the help! I actually only use Gatorade/PowerAde stuff when I feel I need the electrolytes. As funny as this sounds, a lot of that stuff has way too much citric acid in it for me, and that really bothers me...

Tuddy

Don't forget our friend Mike Matson and his fiancé Barbara only lives 10 minutes away. Ha, that guy makes me laugh, I am friends with him on Facebook and he took a picture that I had of Tuddy and I on there and made a meme of us and then reposted it. Made me chuckle. Anywho, carry on! Have fun!

Tuddy

Thanks for the report! Hope he heals up quick for you!

Tuddy

Tuddy, I recommend vitamins and electrolytes to stop headaches when changing nutrition Yes, Gatorade and upping my vitamins for sure. And Probiotics. Gotta keep the tummy happy or the brain isn't happy. Oh, the things I have learned from having anxiety! I feel much better today, had a really good s...

I am suffering from horrible headaches. I think it is sugar withdrawal... just get over the headache, and then eat something with a fast release sugar in it, boom, another headache. I ate a banana today. I think my brain is coming out of my head. But, I made all five days at the gym last week, did n...

I have been invited to attend another clinic this fall, but I don't know the clinician that well, so I am going to audit. But.... the trainer I had Yonka at this spring is hosting another fall clinic so we may load up and go. As for other goals, just being with my horses. Winter is coming and I need...

Good luck with surgery!

Tuddy

Well, I have hit the gym every day this week. 3 days of lifting, 2 days of cardio and stretching. I feel sore, but the muscle memory is starting to come back. Upped the water intake and added more good food to my diet and I lost 2 pounds in these past 5 days. Flushing out the water retention. I've n...

Schools out for Summer! (well for my 2 legged kid that is). Now that the horses have been cleared of whatever virus they had, back to work they go. Lunging starts this week and both Tuddy and Yonka are booked into horsemanship/riding clinics in August. Time to prep for that. That was my goal at the...

Tuddy

I think I finally realized not to assign labels to food. Eating something rich and decadent doesnt make me a bad person, simply a person who ate something decadent. Removing the emotional labels attached to food has helped me with healthier eating choices. It's the balance of the whole day that cou...

I know the feeling. How are you doing now? thanks for the update! that is so exciting. (and a ton of horses! wow :!: ) I am doing better, thank you.
