Hi! It's been a while since I"ve been more than a quick lurker, and I need some TOC love, so here's what been going on in my life.. First of all, I have severe laryngitis. Haha. NOT fun!!!! I haven't been able to talk for a week and have another week to go at least. I blew it today too (see later re: my horse, when I had to talk to her old owner who might buy her back) so probably set myself back another week <- that's my speech being censored cos I"m not allowed to talk!!! I love to talk!!!! Dammit!!! DH and I decided to just tell his family we're NOT going on the cruise with them all to celebrate his parent's 50th wedding anniversary. The six of us all together was shaping up to be nothing but a nightmare but only DH and I saw that.. so we just said NO. It'll take a few more NO's - and then us simply not showing up- to get the point across. DH's brother has been quilt-tripped into taking time off work to go down to Mexico to bring his mom back though.. hey someone needs to carry her bags.. whatever, they can deal with it. Poor Callie the beautiful Samoyed we tried to rescue.. turns out we had to take her into the Humane Society after all, because the old owners never legally relinquished ownership to us. So had we done anything medically, we could have been sued. Humane Society pushed to get ownership, and finally got it after a few weeks. Anyway.. they did some testing and it turns out she would need "a few thousands, maybe several thousands" of vet work, and would need to live in intensive care at the vets for a long time before she might have any hope of any kind of recovery. Humane is talking to the Samoyed Rescue to see if they can take her, b/c our option to adopt her, would just to have been to put her down. Hesta the wonder mare.. had some sort of psychotic episode. I'm done with her. I felt so unsafe on her yesterday and today that I got off.. lunged and long lined both days. Didnt' go so well on the whole. She reared *majorly* five times tonight on the long lines. This from nothing more than the weight of the reins. She's always had trouble accepting the bit but I thought we were doing really really well, making tons of progress.. but tonight (and yesterday) shows the potential in her. I bought her as a broodmare anyway, so no great loss there. But I think I'll sell her and get a nice riding horse b/c when we were doing well I was loving riding her. Wish I could afford some nice old made show horse but right now I just can't justify it with school, so it'll be another greenie or lousy cowboy broke QH for me. This is where I need major major cuss words. I hate horse shopping and what do you bet the other one I wanted is sold. <_< But in good news...I am still in school(hence not hanging out here much) and that is going AWESOME. I *think*. I dont' have any marks back yet And the Blues Brothers is on TV right now so I'm going to forget the hell of horse shopping and go watch me some Jake and Elwood

Onyx, I was wondering what was going on with your life, you've been entirely too quiet. Sounds like you've been busy though. A shame about Callie...good decision (I think) on the trip...I am not familiar with the details of Hesta, but sounds scarey, could it be she was in heat? Glad school is going well for you. Hope the laryngitis goes away fast! Oh, and KUDOS on getting the goods to RR. Well done!

OY, Onyx...really scary with what happened with that mare...I'm glad you were smart enough to just get off and not get yourself hurt. So sorry. Yeh, sometimes horse shopping can be a nasty deal, but hey...she's probably going to be MUCH happier just being a broody and YOU will find some nice pony...just keep sending out vibes to the Universe saying: "I have a loffly pony shaped hole in my heart which needs to be filled by a pony who needs a great horse mom who will love and make him/her a happy horse "... works for me, anyway!
VERY glad you and your DH said "no". Hey, N O is a complete sentence...eventually the family will get the message. I think it was wise of you and setting such boundaries NOW will only mean less stress later on...wish I'd learned this lesson when I was younger! So, stay strong, wish them the best and stick with the no!
TERRIFIC about your schooling news! GO get 'em! And, yeh, laryngitis $ucks for those of us who loffffff to talk! Hang in there...soon you'll be blabbing all over the joint. Hey...maybe you can write novel length notes? THAT's what I do when I can't talk! So, grab a pen and a big pad o' paper and write like crazy!

OTP, good for you for saying NO! It feels weird at first but if you stick with it, it is very empowering. I'm glad you and your DH are standing up for what is right for you guys. Horse shopping does suck, but there are lots of great horses to be found. And with the market as crappy as it is, who knows - you might be able to find more horse for the money! Laryngitis will be gone soon and you'll be able to gab all you want! Poor Callie - what a crappy situation. I'll send her good thoughts of peace and love. Yay for good school! It is nice to have SOMETHING that is going right, eh?

Oh Onyx, Isn't it amazing how life can throw us curve balls! Sorry about your Voiceless state. Stress may be a factor as well. Some people react that way. And You tried with the Samie, Not your fault at all, just very sad and frustrating. And I am glad you decided that the cruise was a no, From what I remember reading before you were really reserved about going. That would not have been relaxing. And the mare?? WEll better to find out now than before you get hurt. I am sure you have thought of every angle but the rearing from rein pressure makes me remember an old students horse who did the same thing, ... Horrid teeth. But there again just my musings. I dont have much in the way of advice but just a warm friendly hug and some jingles. Be good to your self, and find something to mellow out with. Thinking of you! K

Good for you and DH to say no to the cruise. Who wants to pay that much $$ to not enjoy themselves? Sorry about Callie, I know you tried very hard to figure out what to do about/with her. Good luck with your horse shopping. It does sound like your mare is not the right riding horse for you! |

Sending you hugs and good wishes....I hope that your voice comes back soon. And you have done the right thing in all three cases -- with your family, the dog and the horse. Sometimes, those decisions, no matter how icky and tough are the right ones. Still does not make it any easier though. Hang in there, spring is coming and congratulations on going back to school! I have always wanted to but never had the courage or more to the point the funds to do so!

Aw thanks everyone. I didn't mean to dump. I was really down after it became clear in two very short days that Hesta wasn't going to work out after all. I get so emotionally invested in them. My best guess is a pinched nerve, maybe a bone chip, but without going into details, I just think it'll be better for her to be a broodie like we intended. We pretty much knew about Callie, but since everyone was so helpful I thought I'd update. And just so everyone knows I'm lurking like a fiend two minutes at a time just enough to catch up on everyone, so I'm still 'with' you all!! I makeup replies in my head but I just don't have the time to post.. I hope you all know I'm 'there' jungling for everyone even if I"m not posting so. But.. in better news.. I can *almost* talk and it looks like I'll be getting in a new horse to **EDIT! That should be "trial" not trail!!!** untill the end of April. Uhhhhh.... THIS horse:
