Clean

Yay for clean horses! Just gave Turbo a bath with the help of a neighborhood friend who is interested in animals and her brothers. He was very feisty, because there were several people helping, and he does not like getting wet. When I first got him he would not tolerate baths, but he’s gotten better as I’ve worked with him. Of course, this is the same horse who will stand out in the rain….. 

We’re alive!

Yes, Turbo is still alive, yes, so am I.

I took apart my camera (it was old and dying), which makes it rather hard to take photos of El Turbinado. I’m saving up for a new one, while at the same time hoping for one for Christmas.

He grew his winter coat sometime last month, which is early for him. Hmm. So now I have a muddy, in-need-of-worming furball in my backyard. Whoopee!

Also, we got invited back to Farm Day. Yay!

I have da cuwest pony in da whole wide world!

 

Yay! Two reasons to celebrate.

Reason #1. I got the harness fixed. Yay. On the way to get it fixed, I was testing the strength of the stitching on another part of the harness. I pulled, nothing happened. Pulled a little harder, the whole piece of leather came off. :) I got it fixed also.

Reason #2. Turbo and I got invited back to Farm Day at World hunger Relief Farm! It’s sometime in April, I’ll keep you posted.

I know I haven’t had any pictures up recently, but I’m trying to solve that. My camera has been acting up lately. I think it just needs a good cleaning.

I hooked up Turbo to the cart yesterday and drove up the street a bit. He was very full of energy. Combination of the air (wind) and not being out for a few days.  Coming back towards our house he broke into a flat-out run, with me tugging on the reins trying to slow him down. This was all while going downhill. Woo. It would’ve been fine except for a little thing called intersections. Thankfully, I was able to slow him down long enough to cross streets safely. He still had tons of energy so we went over to the park, where he proceeded to run, at top speed, around the track a few times. Hehe, I’m getting kicked off the computer, so I’ll finish this later.

Here ’tis

Here is the aforementioned photo, thanks to the smart thinking of a friend.
