Some people just don't understand at all. Usually I'm left alone out on my own property, but sometimes my neighbor comes out on her porch to watch. I've sort of got over the self consciousness because she doesn't know much about horses and just thinks they are pretty. I'm cool with have Chrome admirers. :)Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-54525925964627111302012-02-13T10:46:09.475-05:002012-02-13T10:46:09.475-05:00Well. . .with hungry Haflingers, broken gates, hoo...Well. . .with hungry Haflingers, broken gates, hooks, chains. . .are part of what we take on! :)<br />It is a lot of work to keep them at home.

But, reality is that the work involved sometimes gets in the way of playing with them. But, that's OK.... I can still see them and touch them!

I'd boarded my old horse for a short time. I became suspicious regarding his turn outs and set them up. Mo was a mud roller, I'd already taken note that he was still clean from the previous days grooming on a muddy day. So, when I asked how Mo was while turned out and they replied how much he enjoyed it. I knew I'd caught them in a lie.Camrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696952736180900465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-39117430359878606212012-02-10T08:03:05.837-05:002012-02-10T08:03:05.837-05:00Think about trying the show thing at least once.

I show Norm a few times a year and I just keep the mindset that it doesn't matter at all where we place as long as we learn, have fun, get exposed to lots of activity and commotion. Plus, I think he's the most beautiful boy in the world and I enjoy showing him off in halter classes. To my great surprise he won Grand Champion Haflinger stallion/gelding at our county fair in 2011! Also he gets less timid and spooky the more shows we do so its been beneficial in many ways. And the draft people are super nice. <br />Amy in OhioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-31211206277279968752012-02-10T04:41:46.845-05:002012-02-10T04:41:46.845-05:00Glad you are feeling better.

I think it will be just halter class.

But I gotta say- having never had horses stay at a stable, the thing that is staying with me here is that she wasn't LET OUT with her herd! What's the deal with that? Does that just happen sometimes when you board at a stable? Are you okay with that?Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576090634674056178noreply@blogger.com
