A change of pace

[Fubarcat]

We all seem to post questions or relate stories of hardships we are having (me included) that I thought I would just post a little note about a good day.  I actually woke up and felt pretty good this morning.  I even got my kid to school a little early and didn't yell at him one single time.  I was nice to my husband and didn't yell at him either.  I got to work and felt downright normal for once.  I even made two or three appropriate decisions without having to spend 10 minutes thinking about what it was that I was doing.  So, in the mist of all the days that can be bad, there is light at the end of the tunnel, that there are actually good days mixed in there!  Hope the rest of my day goes as good as the morning has started, and hope everyone else has as good as day as I am having so far!  Take care all.  Every one of you are in my good thoughts today.

hahaha okay.sorry for poking fun..just looked up...'haflinger' NEVER heard of that breed before, but read discription and it sounds lovely, espeacially with a bit of thoroughbred in there, bet he's a bit taller than the standard for that breed.....almost has that delicate refined chiseled look of an arbian head from the pics i just saw....hope you can get back up soon and ride abit....i found that if i have a bit of help with grooming and tacking....i find the strenght to ride.....it really is very healing and energy producing somehow when i am able to WILL myself to get my butt to the stable.....hope you manage to do so also....

oh wow....okay....you TRUMP us all.....man, i couldn't imagine THAT WORK LOAD darlin......i board my guy right up the road, so....the 'most' work i need to do is walking out to the paddock, (as they are turned out fr. 7am to 4pm ) get him, groom him, tack him and ride/work him.....and i CAN'T EVEN MANAGE THAT without a HUGE struggle.....oh the joys of 'breeding'...no thanks....helped with that a few times and decided i'd definately stand back and let others....scarey!  i had my quarter horse mare put down about 4 yrs ago as she was nevicular and i had done all the 'nerve blocking' possible.....sad it seems to effect quarter horses mostly!  now i have a huge 16.2 hds Canadian Sport Horse, gelding....he is soooo willing its unbelievable..i bought him when he was 2 and a half..and there was almost nothing i couldn't do with him...really GOOD head/mind he has, bomb proof....do a lot of hunter paces with him, cross country, jumping etc....although i must say he really is getting a huge hay belly now that i'm not working him as much....oh....i could go on and on....what other than breeding are you doing with them...much riding etc.?....sorry for going on... you probably won't even see this now it's so far down....
cheers

It's good to see so many horse people in here.  I had 28 horses in August, but have cut down since I will not be able to care for them and my family will have to do most of it for me.  I now have 15 since we got a new colt born Jan 29th. We have 3 more foals to come in March and April. I was looking at 14 mares to foal from Jan to April and a big breeding season with the stallion but sold a bunch of bred mares and the stallion moved to a new farm to stand this year.  I have Quarterhorses and Paints.  Shadey
