Bummed Out!

Two of my good friends, Nick Owens and Eric Henderson, died within the last 9 months. I had never had any of my close friends die before that. I am still not back to 100%. I miss my friends! I am bummed!
Then, last night, I get a call from another one of my friend's parents. Apparently this friend isn't doing to good. They are wanting to do an intervention, and I'm invited.
Maybe we can help. I don't know, but it hurts.

High Five!

Lost on horseback!

It all starts looking the same!!!

Well, I missed riding with my friend Saturday morning, so I decided to go Sunday, by myself. I left the house at 8:30 a.m. and drove all the way to Halltown before I realized I forgot my cell phone. I stopped at the gas station to call Dan, so he wouldn't worry, but it was a long distance call and the lady was mean! She said no! So, I figured, oh well, what did people do before cell phones? :)

So, I went to Talbot CA, which is broke into two sections, North and South. South is a way off any main roads, so I decided to go to North instead, as I could park in a less secluded area. I've rode at North a few times, but it has been awhile.

I planned to just ride for an hour or two, then head back home to meet Daniel's parents for Sunday brunch. Well... I got lost! Margo and I made a big loop, then decided to start back to the trailer, but where is the trailer??? At the end of this field? No... At the end of this field? No... I didn't want to back track, so, I decided to use the lesser trail, plowed around a big field to get back. That was a looong mistake, the ground was lumpy and it was hot and Margo was getting tired.

We finally got back on the main trail, where we STARTED! And so we went the other way. Then the trail forked again. So I went right. Then the trail forked AGAIN, I could go left or forward. I went left. Then I recognized the woody area where we started! Yay! We made it! I don't know how I got so lucky to pick the correct fork twice!

By the time I got home, it was one o'clock! Dan was worried and we missed going to eat with his family. Dan said he was going to wait 30 more miniutes, then go looking for me. :) What a sweetie!

It got pretty hot out there, so Margo and I were glad to make it back! Yikes! Below are some more photos of Talbot North.

I agree

Cute Red Dun

I can't figure out which one it is on their sale ad, but she is kinda cute... :) Link

Poor Petey!!!

Poor Peter, he is an itchy pony! He was scratching his butt on a gate hinge in his stall early this morning and got his thick tail stuck on it!!! I went out at 6:30 to turn them out and Pete was standing funny. He had so much of his tail caught that it wouldn't break or rip out when he pulled on it. He had been standing there long enough that he had pooped. :( I will be brushing his tail out tonight. Poor Petey!!!

Holy Crap! This is funny.

Link "Folks i dont give a damn who you are this is the best damn gray horse period. This horse has been gps'd at 35 mph.
