Here is the YouTube link OF ME WTH THE UPSSIDE DOWN HORSE---( IN MY JAMMIES)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA4W78a8-Nk
A BIG LESSON.....
TODAY I AM GOING TO GO TO AMAZON AND BUY SOME SHARP SHEERS FOR JUST SUCH HAPPENINGS.. I HAD A RAZOR KNIF IN MY CAR... BUT HATED TO LEAVE HER TO GO GET IT.. CRITICAL THERE WAS TEH SAFETY KNOT. WHICH GOT A LITTLE STUCK BUT DID LET GO....
THAT KNOT. SHOULD BE A HABIT AROUND HORSES...
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HEARD ME SAY DONKEYS ARE CAREFUL AND TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES--- I HAVE NOT HAD A DONKEY CUT THEMSELVES ON ANYTHING IN 40 YEARS-- YOU CAN'T OWN A HORSE FOR A MONTH BUT THEY DON'T TRY AND KILL THEMSELVES SOMHOW...
TAXI WAS A SUPER GOOD HORSE.... SHE HAD BEN ROLLING TO SCHRATCH HER BACK AND HER SHOE CAUGHT A ROPE OF THE HAY BAG 4 FEET I THE AIR.......THERE SHE WAS ..ON HER BACK WITH ONT FOOT TIED TO TEH WALL....... I EXPECTED HER TO STRUGGLE SO I WAS SCARED TO GO NEAR HER...--SOMEWHERE IN HER BACKGROUND WAS TEH AMISH "LESSON OF THE ROPE". TIE THEM SHORT TO A STOUT TREE- AND GO AWAY FOR A FEW HOURS- WHEN YOU COME BACK YOU WILL HAVE EITHER A WELL TRAINED HORSE OR A TOTAL IDIOT. COWBOYS HAVE THAT ONE TRAINING TOPIC ALSO...-- I THINK SHE HAD THAT - AND KNEW THAT STRUGGLING WAS NOT GOING TO GET HER ANYWHERE...
NOW ALL THESE WELL TRAINED CAREFULLY HANDLED PRIMA DONNAS OF THE DRESSAGE OR HUNTING VOCATION..... WILL DO THEMSELVES TERRIBLE DAMIAGE BY DOING WHAT IS CALLED "FLYING BACK"
WHERE TEHY FIGHT ANY ROPE TIED TO ANYTHING -- OFTEN THE BARN WALL--- FLAILING ABOUT- THEY ARE 1000 POUNDS OF TERRIBLEY DANGEROUS BEAST. AND THEY NEVER GET OVER IT...MANY A NICE RIDING HORSE HAS BEEN SOLD BECAUSE TEHY "FLY BACK"
THIS IS THE KIND OF THING JANINE CAN RUN INTO IN THE SALES RING AT TEH SLAUGHTER PENS-- EACH HORSE HAS SOME REASON THEY ARE THER--- OFTEN IT IS SOME FLUKE... LIKE ALL AMISH HORSES ARE HELD IN WOODEN STOCKS WITH A FOOT TIED UP TO PUT ON SHOES..... SO PICKING UP THE FOOT OF THESE DRAFT MULES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNTIL THEY CALM DOWN ON THAT ACTIVITY,. JANINE QAAND HER CRAZY ERN FRIENDS WHO SCOUT THESE AUCTIONS ARE A PRETTY KNOWLEGEABLE HORSE BUNCH. I HAVE HAD MESSAGES LIKE "TELL JANINE I BOUGHT A HORSE FOR HER- 17 HANDS LOOKED SOUND- HAD GOOD EYE-- AND A BIG SORE ON IT'S BACK...AND IS ON A TRUCK TO QUARENTINE IN VIRGINIA"-- I THINK THAT WAS CLYDE.... NOW HERE... OR WAS UNTIL HE GOT TAKE N TO. "GROTON HOUSE" TO KEEP MO COMPANY... AND 2 GOATS GOT ON THE TRAILER BY MISTAKE - SO THEY WENT TOO...
YESTERDAY WAS THE FORST DAY IN ?30 YEARS? THAT I TOOK CARE OF 2 HORSES. - BREAKFAST AND DINNER. HAY, GRAIN, WATER-- I WAS STAGGERING BUT I MADE IT. FORCED EXERCISE--- I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT AT ALL... FEEDING WAAS JUST SOMETHING YOU DID TWICE A DAY.. THIS IS A SHOCK TO ME... WHEN FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS I HAVE HAD TO PLAN A TRIP TO THE KITHEN 20 FEET AWAY...
FINALLY GETTING ON THE HORSE WILL I HOPE EXERCISE MY FAILING BACK --- WHILE FEEDING WILL MAKE TEH REST OF ME WALK AROUND....
------
LORDY AS I SIT--- MASSIVE STORM FOR NORTHEAST-- MORE RAIN??? FLOODS??? GLA WE ARE ON A HILL..
-- AND..... DOGFEST IS NOT FAR AWAY. MUCH PLANNING IS YET TO DO.-- FOOD IS DONE ( THE CRITICAL PART).
NOW FOR THE GYMNEST BACKING QAWAY VROM TEH OLYMPICS...... I GIVE HER CREDIT -- SHE IS SO TALENTED THAT SHE HAS THE SENSE TOKNOW WHEN SHE NEEDS TO BE ON HTE BEST TO MANAGE HER PHYSICAL BODY POSITIONS TO THE 64TH OF AN INCH--- I KNOW THAT STUFF... I WATCH MY BODY POSITION UP TO THE 3 FEET AND I HAVE TROUBLE WITH THAT.

I HAVE HAD A FEW RESIDENTS OF IPSWICH-- WHO. HAVE DISCOVERED US -- AND HAVE TAKEN AN INTEREST IN THE WORK WE DO.... FINALLY.... THE COMMENTS ARE INTERESTING... BUT IIT DOES POINT OUT -- WE COULD USE MORE PUBLIC RELATIONS WORK...
PLEASE DO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT OUR WORK.. THESE ARE NOT PET DOGS - THE 12 WE NOW HAVE GETTING CLOSE TO GRADUATION HAVE COST US--$30,000 EACH----- AND THE-------- US--- IS ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONATED THE $10 TO OUR SHATUPON SOCIETY OF IPSWICH..... HAVE BROUGHT THESE DOGS ALONG----
BECAUSE OF THE CHANGING OF OUR WEBSITE INTO TWO WEBS... SDP AND CRAZY ACRES OUR CHICKNE BRICK SALES MAY NOT GET SOLD OUT THIS MONTH
RIGHT AT THE MOMENT IT IS 42%- AND WEDNESDAY--- I DO HAVE SOME QUICK PIKS TO ADD.... BUT I CAN TELL ... YOU ALL GOT CONFUSED... ALL THE PARTS ARE STILL THERE... REST ASSURED. SOME OF TEH PIECES MAY NEED SOME ADJUSTMENT. -- WE WILL GET THERE EVENTUALLY BUT MAYBE NOT BY THIS WEEKEND...
SDP WEB IS STRICKLY TRAINING OF THE DOGS AND CRAZYACRESFARM.ORG IS ALL THE THINGS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO MAKING THAT POSSIBLE... I MAY HAVE SOME OF THE DETAILS NOT IN THE RIGHT PLACE. YET. ... BUT WE ARE WORKING ON IT.
