Sue -How Do You Love Jill?

February 23, 2018Posted inSue - How Do You Do!
Judy who Owned Sue for several years, had been afflicted with serious health problems and her daughter wondered if I would take Sue back. Sue had gotten a couple bad deals with humans at the time when I came to know her and had gone completely over the crazy and fearful line. It was a bad deal for a sweet fox trotter, so I bought her. She had been completely ruined in six months and it took me four years to rehabilitate her. Her rehab ruined parts of me. My…

Sue – How Do You Decide on Rob?

September 21, 2012Posted inSue - How Do You Do!
This is what Rob Ballard said to me one evening when we were sitting around, advertising his new company, Shelter Defense:  “Horses were my baby sitter when I was growing up. My parents leased a horse for me and dropped me off at Leawood Stables every day during the summer. We would coax our horses to go far out in the pasture and gallop back to the barn. That’s all we knew what to do. I wish I could ride a horse now and get out there on the trails…

Rating System Reinstated

When I first started with Sage, I developed a wine rating system based on adrenalin and or pain. I don't know how it happened, but as time passed, the wine rating system was dropped. I think I started counting points instead. On a certain day, Sage might have racked up 500 or 700 points to my 5 points. Gradually, my points started to increase as I started to win "the games" with Sage. I don't remember the point system with Velvet and my rating system was dropped. Besides, how exciting…

Old Parelli Level 2 Liberty and Online Test

I remember these tasks as being hard. That was a long time ago.  I looked in the Susan FoxTrotter book to see what these tasks are.  Heck, they are simple. They might be simple, but with Lucky, they are not easy.  Let's talk about the circle game.  I'll have to look again to see how many laps on the 22' line Lucky Star has to maintain. At the moment, we are happy if he maintains one lap at a gait other than stop. He has to be on the end…

Alien Slime Horror and New Age Technology

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…
