10:00am i said we were going to harness mo... and we really should... how we will do this in the pouring rain , i am not sure... probably in the arena to be on camera..
fyi...I WOULD LIKE TO tell you about the haRNESS... BUT I DON'T HAVE A CLUE AS TO THE NAME OF EACH PIECE... I DO KNOW THAT ALL THESE STRAPS ARE NOT FOR DECORATION. AND EACH HAS A PURPOSE.. IT SHOULD BE INTERESTING FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE ONLY ADMIRED TEH BUDWEISER HITCH FROM AFAR...- FOR THOSE OF YO WHO MAY BE EXPERTS IN DRAFT HORSES,. YOU MAY REALIZE WHY I AM AN EXPERT IN DONKEYS, NOT HORSES....-
FIRST PROBLEM IS GOING TO BE TO GET HTE HARNESS INTO THE ARENA IN ANY CONTROLLEDX FASHION... THE WHOLE THING PROBABLY WEIGHS 120 POUNDS I HAD PLANNED GTO HAVE MO STANDING NEXT TO THE HARNESS RACK, AND JUST SHIFT IT OVER... IT IS NO PROBLEM FOR HER TO CARRY IT AROUND... HOWEVER IT WILL BE A CHANLLANGE FOR JODY,SUSIE AND EILEEN AND A FEW OTHERS TO MOVE IT TO THE ARENA-
IT IS BASICALLY IN 3 PIECES... TEH BRIDLE--TEH COLLAR,--- THEN HAMES SADDDLE AND BREECHING ARE ALL STRAPPED TOGETHER- AND CAN BE CARRIED VERY NICELY ON AN EXPERIENCED FARMERS SHOULDER... I CAN SEE JODY EILEEN AND SUSIE TAKEING THE PLACE OF ONE FARMER--ALL STRAPPED TOGETHER.... WE WILL TRY....
****
IN MY PAST I HAVE PURCHASED MANY NICE HALTERS-- SOME FOR MO-SIZE-- BUT THEY HAVE GONE AWAY... LIKE PENS IN A DOCTORS OFFICE. GONE. SO WE WILL HAVE TO "SUGGEST" TO MO THAT SHE STAND STILL WHILE WE HARNEESS HER... THIS WILL INVOLVE CARROTS/ GRAIN AND THAT ALPHA HAY PELLET STUFF.. PROBABLY OUT OF WHAT I CALL HER BUFFETT CART...
****
WE NEED TO DO THIS IN PREP FOR JANINE'S "PARTY" FRIDAY NIGHT 5:30 - 7 ISH -- I WOULD LIKE TO GET 1800 POUNDS OF PEOPLE DOING A TUG OF WAR WITH 1800 POUNDS OF MO WHICH SHOLD BE FINE... BUT LAST TIME WE TRIED IT , WE STARTLED MO... SHE DID NOT EXPECT TO BE PULLING ANYTHNG AGAIN AND NEEDS TO HAVE IT EXPALINED TO HER THAT THESE TEMPORARUY JOBS ARE PART OF RETIREMENT.
I AM SURE SHE KNOWS MORE ABOUT PULLING THAN WE EVER COULD... SHE DID NOT GET THOSE SCARS ON HER SHOULDERS GRAZING IN A PASTURE.
HOWEVER ---- MO KNOWS-- OR HAS FIGURED OUT -- SOME OF THE THINGS WE DO NOT KNOW AND COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR INEXPERIENCE.. I HOPE TO BUY HER OFF WITH CARROTS.
****
FITTING MO THRU THE "PEOPEL SIZE DOORS" TO THE ARENA COULD BE A FUN JOB IN ITSELF.... IF SHE DOES NOT FIT WE WILL HAVE TO GO ROUND TO THE BIG SIDE DOOR...
THAT IS IT FOR COMING EVENTS....
***
OUR SAT NIGHT MAIL CALL "ON LOCATION" (LAST NIGHT IN THE RAISED TRACTOR BUCKET)SEEMS LIKE GOOD FUN AND IS WELL ENJOYED BY ALL... WE CERTAINLY HAD A GOOD TIME.... I MAY ASK IF EXPLORE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW WE COULD HAVE A PORTABLE CAMERA WITH SOUND.... IT WOULD GIVE US MANY MORE POSSIBILITIES- OTHERWISE WE MAY HAVE TO GO TO THE WHITE BOARD... WE LIVED WITH THAT FOR YEARS---
*****
I DON'T KNOW IF ANY ONE HAS NOTICED BUT PAULA IS MAKING PROGRESS--- AND MAYHEN DOES GET TEH BASKET UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS... "COMMUNICATION HAS STARTED???" THAT IS THE LEARNING TO LEARN PART...
******
YESTERDAY SENDING THE WRONG EMAIL HAD TO DO WITH MY LACK OF ABILITY TO USE THE MOUSE AS INTENE=DED--- IT CLICKS AND UNCLICKS PRETTY MUCH AS IT WANTS TO. HENCE SENDING OUR THE WRONG EMAIL FIRST.... SORRY... THAT PROBLEM IS SOMETIMES NOT DUPLICATED IN THE DD OFF TEH WEB PAGE BY CLICKING ON EHT COFFEE...

Hi Carlene,
