Oh my what TALL legs she has!!! Super pretty firecracker! She looks like a firecracker too with those airs above the ground!

Josette

Sending peace and prayers to Fluffy and her family.

Tarlo - we live in and are surrounded by woods. Lots of deer, wild turkeys and ticks. I had an additional Doxy script for 2 weeks and decided to use it. The bite site was inflamed and very itchy yesterday. I figure with my previous bad reaction and symptoms I'm not going to wait and see what happens...

Josette

Thanks! This was one of those nasty little ticks that bit me in the spring. Maybe my anxiety level is making me feel achy today too.

Josette

This past summer I was treated for Lyme after being bitten by a tick in the late spring. I had systemic stage 2 with multiple body rashes, fever, head ache, elevated liver enzymes. Now with this mild winter and so enjoying this weather the ticks are still very active. I've pulled several crawling on...

I was just viewing a breast cancer forum and there is a newly dx woman who is desperately seeking temporary foster care for her 2 dogs. It seems she is staying with her sister who refuses to have the dogs in her home. The patient is reaching out to any organizations or foster homes who will hold her...

Josette

I'm so sorry. Ditto - I hate cancer too.

Josette

Sorry to hear about your infection. Your body has been through a war and is still struggling to recover. Does your medical center provide you with any diet consults to help rebuild your immune system? Sending you jingles to go home soon.

http://www.topretirements.com/blog/great-towns/dueling-retirement-states-what-its-like-to-retire-on-the-gulf-coast.html/ Lots of side forums on this site. Funny we loved our visits to Seattle. Port Townsend, Sequim and Olympic National Park. It is always an eye opener when you consider the winter se...

I use the shorter style Columbia jacket to ride and avoid a jacket that is too long.

Josette

Oh Yes! Years ago, I had an Arab who would jump like a cat sideways when he encountered something strange. I simply persisted and in time he really improved to be a fabulous trail horse (he detested the ring). Like you, I did not make a big deal out of it - simply exposed him and showed him he had n...

Josette

Jeniferkey - I've always enjoyed your pics of your hunt and X-country excursions. You always looked to have so much fun with your horses and ponies! This new morgan/halfie cross looks very cute. Good luck with him.

Josette

I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP sweet pony.

Josette

RTR - excellent idea about a bird house shelter for this little parrot. He is really beautiful. Hope he survives.

Josette

Thanks dressagefan - I made an appt last week with an eye specialist because of other redness issues too. He said no cataracts but due to old age he has some "crystals" which collect in the eye. Vision is still pretty good. My other concern was a small cyst in the outer left eye lid which ...

Josette

Hey Hoof'n it - sending MASSIVE jingles your way!

Josette

I was thinking the same as others already mentioned. Maybe cubed hay or hay stretcher pellets soaked in water.

Josette

How about the short insulated paddock boots with half chaps?

Josette

angela - I would politely but firmly ask them to leave. It is very inconsiderate to force themselves on someone in this situation - especially when you requested no visitors so soon after surgery. I would go the nurse station and request no visitors if this is possible. Some people mean well but the...

Josette

I bet he got loose from someone during the warmer weather. If you have a cage - try putting feed in it and you might be able to catch/save him.

Josette

Very glad everyone got home safely. Your photos are stunning with all the open space - - something not seen where I live. We are tucked into a wooded area with nearby housing developments, highways, shopping malls. Years ago, my one guy went down to the stop sign then turned around and ran back home...

Josette

Sending jingles her way.

Josette

Happy dance for you! Time to move on now and ride your gorgeous ponies!

Josette

Donation sent for Suzy.

Josette

I think Hank can't take a bad photo! He sure is a cute "pocket pony"!

Josette

Silverbridge - glad you posted!! Beautiful pics and your mare as always is gorgeous!

Josette

I saw this chocolate chip cookie link..... The pics look good!

Awesome pic of a VERY handsome horse! I believe he likes it too! LOL!

Josette

Mooning Duck Farm if you have water with ducks. I always love seeing ducks doing bottoms up while feeding. Kind of reminds me of the RV park where you had your camper.

We had these last year over the holidays - everyone loved them.

Josette

I'm so very sorry. Hugs to all in your family.

Josette

Rocky is as flexible as a cat with those stretches!!

Josette

Glad to hear you like Legend. I really like him too.

Josette

I do have a vet appt scheduled for after the holidays. However, I wanted to ask dog owners with prior experience. Are there eye drops available to control this condition from progressing? I did a GOOGLE and there are currently clinical trials for eye drops to avoid surgery. They were initially studi...

Josette

I'm so sorry for your loss. It is such a heartbreak as they are so much more than a pet to us.

Sending jingles for Jax for speedy and uneventful recovery.

Josette

Same as Kande50 said - she just needs some recovery time. You can tell from first pic she has a sweet kind expression. Very glad you got her!! (She is the same color as an Arab I had many years ago.)

Ditto - who knows what some trainers, sellers think......

Josette

RIP Viscount Ashley. I'm so sorry for your loss. Such an incredible age for a cat. I had to put down my Ricky 13 year old a few weeks ago. He had advanced metabolic issues and had stopped eating.

Josette

Demi - it sounds like you found a diamond in the rough who fell on hard times - poor girl. I'm sure she will recover as you bring her health back on track with good farrier and proper diet. She needs some recovery time now. She really sounds lovely and good you both found each other! :) My pony went...

Josette

Bats79 - Any suggestions for how I can check myself for being crooked when I feel I'm comfortable with my position? It is really hard with the left side saddle slippage. I was always stepping down into the right stirrup to adjust it. I did get one short trial ride with the thin-line pad which seems ...

Josette

I wouldn't watch the whole video as depressing knowing how these horses are handled and trained. I agree it is so artificial that it takes away from the true beauty and nature of the horse IMO.

Josette

I purchased my pony 4 years ago when I could no longer ride my heart horse TB - who I lost in 2013 at age 24. Pony is now age 15 and I'm 59 and not planning to purchase anymore in the future. I really enjoy riding him around our property and just love hugging the little stinker. I do not show or att...

Josette

A very stressful weekend for sure. Sending jingles that Grace's GI issues are resolved and she recovers fine. You will attend this show together next year.

Josette

How does he move in turnout or when you lead him? Can you walk - trot him on a lead line like a lameness exam? Will he balk or move freely forward? Maybe these clues will also help determine if it is specific to placing a rider's weight on him. I agree he is uncomfortable about something and not bei...

Josette

Kathy - wonderful pictures of Orra's progress! Thank you for explaining the details of each movement as you worked Orra. She really does look so soft and light as you ride her. Wishing you a speedy recovery with your ankle and back.

Josette

I find that most "collapsed hip" riders are working in conjunction with their horse. The horse drops a side and the rider drops a hip. The horse tilts the wither and the rider over rides the bend on that side. All contribute to each other. I always try to help both together. Yes - very cr...

Josette

No - I never had Xrays done. It's been years since I visited the Chiropractor but I recall he was always pulling on my left leg as if trying to make them even. I think it was because my hips were out of alignment. I came across this link and will try out some of these stretches. The problem is certa...

Josette

Thanks for your replies. I will certainly use these exercises this winter when all we can do is walk on frozen ground. I've been trying the yoga one leg stand on my right leg. Check myself in the bathroom mirror to make sure my shoulders are even. Since it is easy I knew I needed more to center myse...
