What'cha Thinking

 

The topics vary, this is true. What comes out in the next post, is what ever is on my mind at the moment I get the chance to write. Or, it's something that I want to share, or feel needs said.

Our beautiful world is changing and there is a lot of scary things going on. Forgive me for saying it, but it does need said..... We have a lunatic in the Presidents chair and our country is in serious disarray. So I guess it's nice to spend 5 minutes reading something that is much adu about nothing. If you get a chuckle out of it, or at least a smile. .. It's been worth the time to write. 

Todays' thought ~ is actually a quest.....


Polaris has mud balls and horse poop stuck to his belly and they are balls that are as hard as rocks. He's been pulling his hair out trying to pull them off. I've tried to brush the smaller ones out, I've even tried shaving them off, he won't hold still so that didn't work at all. It's been too cold for a bath and that is still something he's learning to stand still for.

Someone stated that they will fall off when he sheds..... It's obviously uncomfortable or he wouldn't be pulling on them...

I'm going to try a bottle of detangler and some conditioner next. Let you know the outcome on that one. If anyone has had success with such a feat drop me a line! I'd love to hear your remedy.

The horses moved end of last week. It's taken this long to clean them up and I'm still not done. Star Brights scabs finally peeled off a couple of her injuries. One I believe was needing drained. Yuk - it was a stinky mess. Looked much better when I was done. I counted almost 20 bite marks and cuts on her hind end and back legs. A lot of ointment.

I got her out of the 'herd' before she got hurt too bad. Her chest was even tender when we first moved. Like she took a front kick.  She is really enjoying being in a stall and having her own space, not having to fight for food. She's been pretty spoiled most of her life, she really don't know how to fight all the time for food. 

Even Lil Star had a couple bald spots on her back I noticed. A little bit of 'rain rot' on her too. It's really not good to have horses out in the weather with out shelter or a blanket. Not good at all. I believe it's actually illegal in some states. 

Polaris has a few bites, however I don't think they are as bothersome as his belly. Poor babies. It was a really hard winter on my horses. Very grateful to have found a wonderful new barn. 

Tomorrow the 'buyer' is supposed to come for the truck.. We'll see how this goes. If all goes well; I'll be car shopping the next couple days.
Once we get rolling in new wheels, it's back to the barn and working on the cleaning and healing wounds on the horses. Who knows I might even get a ride in soon!!

Let it go


When a certain kind of people accuse you of things, they are exposing their own mentality. The way they think is the way they think everyone else's mind works as well. 

That's why some of us, just can't imagine, why some people do the things they do.

When we've been wronged, some think of revenge, others think of forgiveness, and yet others, just move on. . . Like all the other events in life, it becomes just another memory. A good story to tell, later in life. 

I've heard it said many, many times. . . .  If they would only put that much effort into doing something good, look at how far they would have gotten. 


Holding a grudge and plotting revenge, only destroys your own being. Quite often such events, back fire and end up costing you more in one form or another. Too often they make a person look foolish in the end. 
Talking about things often helps one let it go. The ultimate solution is to be able to talk to the other person and come to a resolve. But not everyone is interested in getting along, so you often have to find your own way to overcome and let go of things. 

It doesn't always mean your holding a grudge, when you remember NOT to trust someone that's wronged you. It might simply mean, your not interested in getting wronged again, so you don't give them your trust this time around. 

Life's too short to hang on to the negative.
