That did it. I knew right that moment I had found my horse.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-81742568954039326292008-04-24T14:06:00.000-05:002008-04-24T14:06:00.000-05:00As obsessive as I am, ignoring any injury is unlik...As obsessive as I am, ignoring any injury is unlikely!<BR/><BR/>But I know exactly what you mean, and that's my thought too - don't mess around with eye stuff. We have a constant reminder with Salina and her missing eye - not that she had it removed b/c a previous owner ignored anything, but still. <BR/><BR/>I brought everyone in and they're munching in the stalls until the sun goes down.<BR/><BR/>Salina got a bath today and was much like your description of Silk - loving being scrubbed and rinsed.<BR/><BR/>Hope those gnats get gone soon!!billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-36442035387243813212008-04-24T13:12:00.000-05:002008-04-24T13:12:00.000-05:00Your son sounds like a wonderful boy, how sweet to...Your son sounds like a wonderful boy, how sweet to think of his mom and bring you toast. <BR/>I am happy to hear that Keil Bay is feeling better today. Eye injuries are very scary. <BR/>My guy Erik used to do the same thing, mind you 17.2 hands and such a big baby he was. He would always give hugs and kisses and go to sleep on my shoulder, or put his head in my chest for me to hold. Once in his younger years, he spooked at a show in the warm-up ring, dumped the trainer and escaped the ring. "Loose horse", I was standing under trees about a football fields length from him but I saw him escape the ring, he stopped and looked around finally spotting me, trotted over and stuck his head in my chest for comfort. Horses like these are so special, to share the trust and love they have for us and let us comfort them in times of stress. We are privileged to have them in our lives. <BR/>We are done with spring shots, just have the dental work to come.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-2367305825339570782008-04-24T12:15:00.000-05:002008-04-24T12:15:00.000-05:00I'm so glad that KB's eye is healing.

We're having a major gnat attack today, even though the weather is gorgeous. I feel like that Peanuts cartoon character, Pigpen, with all these annoying insects buzzing around my face every time I go outside. The horses are hiding in their stalls.Victoria Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267314663679137147noreply@blogger.com
