It's been a while!

I've moved Pals blog back to here. Today.com sucked :)

Well it's been a while. Not much has really been going on. Just hanging out waiting for the hot weather to go away.

One of the main things that has happened was that Pal went to Kindergarten to teach kids how people and animals can live a normal live while having a disability. :) I'm really wanting to grow on that program and offer something to Boy and Girl Scouts but the red tape that is out there I think will keep me from doing it. Oh well....

Pal's New Saddle

Well it's been a while since I've posted. FINALLY got a saddle that fit Pal. Now just need a shorter girth. AND I finally sat on him. I wanted to build a relationship with him before plopping my big butt up there on his back. He stood like a champ to be tacked up, stood great for me just leaning on him and then I got up on top and he just stood there. I didn't do much walking around since my saddle was a little too loose but he was SUCH a good boy! I'm going to get a shorter girth this weekend and work some more with him.

He's also got his verbal ques going good also. I've gotten a new horse (Baby - see below) since I sold Bob the Belgian and she's gave Pal a run for his money BUT they have settled down in a love/hate relationship. :) Stay Tuned!

Pal has a YouTube Video!

Ok, it's 1am and I can't sleep so I made a video with pictures I have of Pal so far. :) I am going to update it as we go along. ;)

Saddle Time

Worked Pal with his saddle on yesterday. It's not a good fit but will do for what we are doing. He needs to bulk up a bit first. :) As soon as I can find someone who knows about horses to help me I'm going to get on his back and get led around. :) Please ignore the mess in the riding area, I am redoing the barn and fence so it don't look the best at the moment.

Hoof Trim

Pal FINALLY got his feet trimmed yesterday. He wasn't too crazy about it but my great farrier worked with him. He did better on the front than he did in the back. His back feet were really long but lucky for him and me nothing else was going on with them. I'm going to work on him standing a little better for the farrier. I think some of it may have to do with balance and getting use to it.

As Promised

Well the last two days were great for pictures sooo...I took a lot of them. We had grooming day today and used a lot of Cowboy Magic! I just love that stuff. Pal did great and he's getting a long good with his new little friend Peanut. The donkey was not a great blind horse friend as he saw Pal as more a bother and opted to be with Bob the Anti Social Belgian. :)

This is Pal and his (and Eli's) pony Peanut. Peanut sort of looks like a mini version of Pal.

Pal and Hershey the best farm dog ever!

Messing with the pony saddle. Next week I'm getting on!
