Coffee anyone ?

They don't do titles there, but here in NYS they're required.... so this could be interesting.

Yeah that can sure be a pain, hopefully with a bill of sale and last reg it will go smoothly.

Palomino is at Mini horse worlds, just finished her round with Open Hunter, came in 7th of 28 in Open Halter Obstacle. One lady had 3 horses and came in 1-2-3!

Are you watching the mini horse Worlds Mini??

 

[Mini Horses]

Nope...can't get stream well. But used to attend many years ago...mid 90s. Rarely had more than one in a class, primarily halter. Did have grand champion & reserve grand in sr mares '94, same halter class. I used a trainer!!! Palomino does all her own training, a huge accomplishment! In '95 I flew my trainer and stallion being shown to Reno. Worth it, another grand champion halter win. Earned that expense back in stud fees... plus excellent foal sales from my own mares. It was an expensive enterprise back then. Lot of fun! Lot of promotion!

Heck, back then you bought a video of the show....no streaming. just this week, I came across my portable hot water tank I used for giving the horses warm baths at the shows....spoiled them.

Coffee is ready and Eggo toaster waffles and orange juice. I'm about tired of toaster waffles and OJ. I've got about a half dozen waffles and a little OJ, then I'm done. I'll be going through more pictures today. I've got to clean out the spot where I put the sheep's hay bale so I can get another one set. The barn is pretty deep in waste hay and poop. I told Robert we would dig it out so he can put it in his garden. That will be several weeks off, maybe longer, but it will get done.

Bacon and coffee here. Sound good? It was!

Went outside in the crisp air, hot coffee with me, found DS working on my tractor. Seems a little part broke in the control unit for the FEL. 3 days ago and nothing said! NOW can't lift it up and need to go to dealer, hoping it's an in stock piece. Not real hopeful! I'm pretty beside myself right now. could have had it ordered already, maybe even here. Better shut up or get ugly.

Soooooo.....to dealer, then work. make my day. Have the part.

Don't you just love it when something gets borrowed or broke and no one says anything ?????? . Bless your heart for just going and "shutting up" over it....

KIDS.....
Mine did thank me for taking the cattle in this morning..... since he could not get off work.... but I have been there done that, just like you. Still waiting on getting my kitchen stove hooked up....

 

[Mini Horses]

Yes...broke. inside component. So nothing he did but, tell me! So drive there with picture. Can't buy just the part. Nope only the entire kit. $212 later. I'm dazed and glad they at least had a kit in stock. Another unit was less at $150. -- of course, not the one I needed. so, one $30 piece of molded metal cost me a lot more. Life on the farm. I accept wear and tear, just not on my nerves please!

I'll head to work now, need to make more money. This is why I don't retire! it could have been worse. Knew something would happen because I just paid it off!

 

[farmerjan]

Once you get it apart... see if the broken part can be made at a machine shop to have just that piece????? Might be because of some o-rings and stuff needed to put it back together??? But if it broke once... might be a "weak link" and might be able to have it made to have as a spare....

 

[Mini Horses]

No machine shop around. Besides I need it now! Already bought. Old piece is ??? DS had it at a friend's and who knows. Will insist it comes back....JBWeld comes to mind. At this point, many things come to mind and some would get me arrested! not everything can be jury rigged!

Not good news for my horse Richie, it's arthritis due to the past laminitis. More challenges to keep him sound even for light trail riding.... pretty crushing as I was hoping to start some more fun things for him and I... dressage lessons and more challenging trails with the kids once the trailer gets its new floor. Which we have bought the wood finally. Sigh.... Anyways he's only 13 so hopefully we can get him comfortable without constant bute.
