3Day Adventures Blog Hop: 3 Words

I stumbled across this Blog Hop this morning as I perused through my reading list, pretending this is not the busiest week at work in our 8 week rotation.  Not only do I love Blog Hops because it expands my reading list, but I love reading the posts.  This Blog Hop was originally created by 3Day Adventures, and in it, she asks you describe your horse(s) in 3 words.

Kidd

Sensitive
Kidd is a red head, through and through.  He's incredibly sensitive both emotionally, and physically.  If one little thing in his tack isn't how he likes it, he will be incredibly awkward and uncomfortable. While it's not in his nature to pitch a full-on fit, he revels in negative tension.  He is easily upset when not spoiled and told how brilliant he is, and while it's nice he's invested, it works against us more often than not.

Fun-Loving

Kidd loves to have fun and is very easily bored.  He is very true to his name, and is constantly picking at things/people/horses and trying to play.  He loves to get out into a change of scenery and sometimes struggles to control his excitement.

Busy

Kidd, as aforementioned, is a very tense horse when not in a full program, and I struggle to develop the relaxation he needs to train correctly.  His brain is constantly busy and as L Williams put it in her post, "his brain hamsters" are in over-drive on a regular basis.

Kai

Accident Prone

I have never, in my life, met a horse as regularly hurt as Kai. I really hope that once she is on a regular training program she will stop hurting herself as most of them seem to be related to her 'over doing it' in turn out.

Jekyll & Hyde Personality

While I wouldn't say she has suffers from a "multiple personality disorder" as she really only has 2... One minute she's sweet as sugar, and the next minute she has the ultimate mare-stare going on with a snarl and glare that would scare a grizzly.

Willing

Kai, thus far, seems to be incredibly willing.  This really sets her and Kidd apart. While Kidd is competitive, he is just as happy (or happier) to waste away in a field eating his life away. Kai likes to get out and do things, and she is quite brave as a result.

Vet Trip #2 For The Big Lady

I don't talk about her a ton, but we were given Lass, a Clydesdale mare with a rough past who is well into her teens, last fall. Friends of ours who live on an acreage but really aren't 'horse people' 'acquired' her after seeing what kind of condition she was in. They had a vet out to address some concerns that included some sort of fungal issue on her legs and open sores housing fly larvae on her back.  The Vet said her teeth were fine, and they did their best to get some weight on her.  They attempted to sell her, but quickly realized it was in her best interest to just give her away to an experienced home. They're friends of ours, and they asked us if we would take her - My hubby has wanted a draft for some time, so he twisted my rubber arm and I agreed. Shortly after our friends acquired her When we went to look at her, it took 4 of us about 30 minutes to catch her.  She was extremely standoffish and made it clear she didn't want anything

Blog Hop: 2020 Summary; Covid Edition

 While we all live in different towns, have different goals and different lives - but one thing that we all have in common is what a wild and wonky year 2020 was.  The reality is, it's all affected us in one way or another, and with 2020 coming to an end it's time to reflect and look hopeful towards an improved 2021. What's the best thing that happened to you in 2020? Personal: Hands down, the birth of my daughter .  After 4 years of fertility struggles, I'm beyond grateful and though some days feel like an eternity of struggle, confusion and pain, my heart has never been more full. Horsey: It's hard to choose. Despite hardly riding, I've had a lot of wonderful horsey-filled memories this year.  From the birth of Phascinating BRR , my second homebred to date, to the few rides I got to enjoy and making a major investment in my breeding business, there's been lots to be thankful for. What's the worst thing that happened to you in 2020? Personal: It's
