Alien Slime Horror and New Age Technology

August 3, 2012Posted inMissouri Fox Trotter, Sue - How Do You Do!
I had my husband take a signed copy of the book to the Pleasant Hill vet's office. I thanked them all for the care of my animals over the years and signed the book. That night, the "young" vet came to the house to dig a fishing lure out of poor Sue's lips. Sue was carrying around a three prong fishing lure stuck in her bottom lip and tongue. I believe the fishing lure has been in the lake a long time and now that the water has receeded so…

His New “Lady” Friend

July 29, 2012Posted inCountry Frank's Lucky Star, Missouri Fox Trotter
Lucky Star and Lady traveled together about an hour to take a Friday evening and Saturday morning group lesson with Jenny Vaught. Lucky and Lady stayed the night in a glorious small pasture. I don't know when the magic moment happened for Lucky Star. When morning broke in the cool light of the new day, Lucky Star made it known that Lady belonged to him. When I rode him in the group lesson, he followed Lady without protest or balking. When we were passed by other geldings, Lucky's body language made…

Bend Your Rear Trailer Exit

Lucky Star has his very own three horse trailer. Most times he gets to travel in this deluxe accomodation without having to share it with other horses.  (He hates that.)

The…

Phone Hero

My riding partner is a hero. Lucky Star and I were out on the trail. I asked him to canter. Gaited horses have a lot of different places to put their legs. Sometimes legs forget the proper rhythm leg placement for the canter. Lucky Star is having a balance problem with me and the canter. For a few strides, we got a pace gallop. That's a four beat gait. A canter is a three beat gait. A pace gallop is smooth, it just doesn't feel exactly right. Then we descend…

180 Lucky Star Story

July 20, 2012Posted inCountry Frank's Lucky Star, Missouri Fox Trotter
He's too cute. Lucky Star is fun to ride. Lucky is the last son of the great world champion stallion, Country Frank. Lucky Star is frustrating to ride. Lucky has the most fun personality possible. Lucky Star has the most awesome flat foot walk and fox trotter ever! Lucky Star and I are not ready for Versatility Events. Lucky Star is frustrating. When Lucky Star canters without arguing, it's the smoothest softest lope ever.  He doesn't speed up, just lopes along with me thinking heaven. It's never boring riding Lucky…
