I...love...mud!

Ahhhh, all in all, a good day!

I wonder why Mom nicknamed me Kramer........?

Vacay!

Been enjoying my time off.  First with front hoof issues, then with hock & back issues...yep, besides having to go to the vet, it's been really great!
I was a little ticked theother day when MOM decided to climb on my back after not riding me for weeks.  I threw a shoe in hopes she wouldn't ride me, but she insisted.  I acted like I might run away or buck, but she stayed on & kept me walking around for a good 20 mins until I was warmed up & forgot my silliness.

These pictures are of me standing in the wash rack (which I hate!)as MOM rinses off the mud that's on my hooves & legs.  I like the squishy mud & try to get it as high up on my legs as possible.  If I get to splashing really well, I can get the mud all over my belly, good times!

Posting for Kramer

Thought I'd post on Kramer's blog since he hasn't been for a while.
Pretty sure he hasn't been in the mood as his hocks and back were bothering him significantly.  He's been acting like he feels much better as of Tuesday so I hope that's still the case. 
In my heart of hearts, I pray that he doen't have issues and that I should've vetted him for before making the trade with Cheryl. 

Why?

Why do I have to keep my neck & head level when doing transitions, hmmmm?
It's so much easier to raise my head, neck & shoulders when taking a different gait.  I just don't understand......

Here's what I really don't understand.  Why in the world is it neccessary to put this rope thing on me that holds my head level when I'm trying to get things done?  It's so much easier my way.  Oh well.........

As long as I get treats afterward, I guess it's not too bad!

Yehaw!!

This is me, bored after our ride..same ol, same ol.....until the man with the truck and lots of horseshoes pulled up.  He put shoes on all my feet.  Which was no big deal; I've had them before.  After that was done, MOM took me out for some grass which was great but then she took me over to a different outdoor pen.  It had been newly divided so a fast horse like me can't really get to it's full gallop, but it's still nice and roomy.

Good, good times!

Sweet, sweet pen!

I was finally able to relax and check out the edibles...

Life is good....but I still have to keep an ear out for danger.........

Busy barn

I was a little itchy when MOM brought me in from my run (yes, I've moved from the round prison!).  I wanted her to scratch me, but she took my picture instead!
It was busy at the barn today with all the action centered around a big man with a big voice.  I found him to be too loud, but everyone seemed to be enjoying being yelled at-humans-can't understnad them!

Had a nice ride outside with MOM, It was really windy like I like it and the ground so nice and soft on my feet.  I didn't feel sore at all.  Something moving in a strange way in one of the pastures startled me, but MOM said it was ok and we finished our ride and then went back to the big, busy barn.
I didn't get to graze like I wanted, but I got some good treats.

It's good to be home

Not sure why MOM takes these pictures as they all look alike.  Had a nice, short ride yesterday and a lot of good grass afterwards.  My kind of day!

This furry little creature whom they call "Jackson" (must be what they call  these little creatures) wanted to be scratched by MOM.

He kept encroaching in my area.  I feel I shouldn't mess with this "Jackson"...
