I am so tickled seeing how excited and happy you are with your new place and bringing the horses home... I remember that day, that time so well! Janice-- even good horses have bad days sometimes.

What is a truck garden? I have no idea where that term came from. It means vegetable garden and usually refers to a large vegetable garden. Nancy

I live as close to Alabama as the next florida town so I go there to fill up when I can because gas is almost ten cents a gal cheaper there. what the heck is up with THAT... is it florida taxes or something??!? thats what aggravates me, why is it cheaper someplace else and not everywhere?

When I saw it she said she would make one for Tivar and I looked and it seemed like only a very slender horse would fit in it and I told her so and she said it fit her mare perfectly and that she would make it fit the horse I want to pull it :) she trips me out sometimes. She has spent all her adult life taking care of herself. She married her high school sweetheart during high school and has been divorced all but one year since 30 years ago. Jaspar needs exercise and the vet said I could ride him so we are taking a ride Sunday and she is gonna pony the little baby mule because he is too full of beans! I told her Jaspar wouldnt kick him and she said "shoot, I aint worried about that I am worried he'll kick Jaspar!" haha. maybe I will get some pics! Poor Jas is still so thin. I guess I will have him tested for cushings. I think the vet thinks I have munchausens by proxy syndrome. he acts like he is humoring me. Janice -- even good horses have bad days sometimes.

I asked what she was gonna do with her IRS tax incentive money and she said "buy me a rifle. With these hard times I want to know I can kill me something to eat if I need to" and we laughed. Then she said she was looking for rabbits to start breeding them to put in the freezer. Then she said "I got me a welding machine, I can make you a horse buggy for going to the store when the gas is too high to afford it." so I am relieved to know Sylvia is on top of things. She already made her own horse buggy but cant afford a harness yet. Janice-- even good horses have bad days sometimes.

"wait,. lets get this straight. You told off a man holding a shotgun dressed like a terrorist, wearing a mask. are you nuts or what." That's our Janice. Bruce says he thinks it's still turkey season. Nancy
Re: RE: [IceHorses] Riding /people encounters
I just totally chewed up and spit out a man illegally hunting one day in the woods. I was so proud and when I got home and told my husband, he said "wait,. lets get this straight. You told off a man holding a shotgun dressed like a terrorist, wearing a mask. are you nuts or what." But I was madder at him for spooking the horses than for hunting out of season! If he had stepped out and showed himself it woulda been ok but he kept hiding behind trees and the horses were getting wild over his stealthy predator behavior.
