About Me

Simplistic in a most complicated way! A true horsewoman does not look at the horse with her eyes, she looks at her horse with her heart. Replace dominance with kind authority; somebody has to be in charge and it better be you.

My Lil Curly Geriatric Escape artist

My Curly GPS system
Have I mentioned how much I love my KAllie-girl......Geriatric Curly Extrordinaire?!!! As loved ones age....they can present special care challenges.  Horses are no different than humans in that regard.  A year ago, my beloved twenty-eight y/o KAllie-girl retired from the trails.....but NOT from keeping me on my toes.  KAllie-girl has remarkable intelligence. I cannot count the number of times trail riding that upon enountering rough terrain.... and asking/trusting her to find our best option.......she would look over the land....and you could visibly SEE her mind working......without fail took us to exactly where we needed to be! She can spot a bag with wormer in it from miles away.....


Ask her a question...she will shake her head up and down....for yes....back and forth for no...... Now, it seems that my beloved KAllie-girl has decided to demonstrate a couple more of her God given talents.
This morning... this is what I found..... bottom two snap hooks on her stall guard undone and swinging.....complete with teeth marks... and the top two still attached....which means my old girl.....had to basically LIMBO to exit the building!! 
How I found the stall guard this morning...Notice the bottom snaps hanging...complete with Teeth marks

So this is how high and there fore HOW low she had to LIMBO


Another to show HOW low she had to Limbo
  

Love her so
