Yes, I despise all types of tea. Hot, cold, sweet or unsweet, tea is not my thing. I am strictly a coffee drinker. Strong, hot black coffee. Unfortunately right now even coffee tastes bad. So if I must drink nasty stuff, at least the tea seems to be helping. That or the robitussin I am chasing...

Hey everyone. Ugh, I caught the crud while out and about in Lexington Tuesday. It hit me early yesterday morning. Could not breath, congestion, body aches and my head feeling like it is going to explode. By midafternoon I gave up trying to do anything productive and just hit the bed and passed...

Gather around my friends and let me tell you a story. This story is about a little game hen who would one day be known as Momma Hen. Momma's story begins 12 years ago. For some reason, we shall call it fate, she was selected and brought to the horse ring one show day. She was brought there to...

Farewell sweet Tedward. I hope you did your job well during your stay with our friend. Don't you ever change little man, you were protecting your ladies. May you have lots of daughters with just a touch of their daddies spunk. Maybe you will have a son as well. A son as handsome as you destined...

Hi everyone. I missed a day and a half and get behind 12 pages. First off, @featherhead007 I am so very sorry about Hen-Rietta's passing. She had a wonderful long life with you. Also congratulations, you wanted Buff Orps, from you recent pictures you have at least 2 orps. @Ponypoor congrats...

I saw this yesterday evening but forgot to post it. I feel this is very fitting considering some of yesterday's conversations.

#1, you are in honors classes, I am proud of you and you should be too. #2. Honors classes are harder and move at a faster pace. B's, you be dang proud of them. #3. Strive to be your best, not someone else's. Ok, your brother has all A's in honors, good for him. You are NOT your brother...

Now for the tax I owe. I know I have probably accumulated a lot of tax today.

One more piece of advice and I shall step off my soapbox. I am sorry in advance if you do not like hearing this and I probably sound very similar to your dad. I believe you are close in age to my daughter who turned 16 yesterday. Get a Job, part-time is fine. Rosie works hard, does well in...

That would be Siri my last buff orp. After months of grieving for Butter and at times demanding I sell her so she did not have to look at her mom relented. I knew she would eventually. Siri now has a new nickname, Butter 2.

Yes tack is expensive. Sadly it goes along with horse ownership. Horses are expensive, everything about them. Quality tack, can last forever as long as you take care of it. Oil your saddles, and bridles. Store them in a tack room or bring them home and put them on a saddle rack in your bedroom...

I cannot answer those questions. If they are breed or sanctioned shows I am sure there are guidelines. The local shows we attend are not sanctioned so no tack requirements.

Dirt is a Rocky Mountain Horse.

You have gotten some good recommendations. Now here is a bit of advice. The acquisition of tack is a rabbit hole you do not want to go down. If you count the bareback saddle pad that Rosie has used once we have 4 saddles. I think we have 8 saddle pads. 4 bridles with 5 extra sets of reins and...

That saddle, was intended to be used on Dirt. To dad's dismay does not fit him properly. Dirt has a short back. We call them trail saddles, but one of the fabertrons is a barrel saddle that he uses on him and fits him perfectly.

Before I get called out saddle tax.

I will leave it to @Ponypoor for english saddles. We use western saddles. Rosie and dad each have their own Fabertron trail saddles for daily use. Mom's pride and joy and the saddle she thinks Rosie should show Russ in is our American 250. It is old, heavy but very well made and will last for...

I am going to have to keep a close eye on Poppet and the hay nests. She did not lay today, but I have gotten 5 eggs from her so far. Seeing as how today was a no egg day you would think she would not be in the nests. Wrong, I caught her hopping up after Dottie laid her egg. It took some...

Happy Caturday everyone. I have been keeping a secret. Welcome to the world to Trixie's 5 little ones. 12 hours Trixie, you missed Rosie's birthday by 12 hours. Yes I stated that Trixie was getting fixed after Keeper's litter. He was born August 18th. A week later the mom, dad, Rosie and...

Back away from the Poppet. Little Poppet juniors, we may talk. Honestly though, Poppet is my 3rd silkie pullet/hen. Poppy, Chiquta and Poppet have all 3 had similar personalities. Tiny little spitfires. Chiquita was more inclined to be a look but not touch hen I will give her that. She was...
