Lucky- “A Four Mile Trailride Is NOT A Walk in the Park”

April 15, 2017Posted inCountry Frank's Lucky Star
Me - "But Lucky, it was a very short trail ride." Lucky - "How often have you walked 4 miles mom? Four miles carrying you is not a short trail ride. Take me home! Feed me!" Me - "Yes Lucky". (I wonder what the weather will be like tomorrow for riding. Heh. Heh) Lucky Star - "A four mile trail ride is NOT a short ride! And why those other horses cantered around in the field at the end of the trail ride is just ridiculous. I could see the…

Just Kidding Mom! I wanna be the Boss!

Next time I rave on and on about how Lucky Star has changed into the horse of yes, just smile and shake your head. Susan never learns. I played with Cisco first. We are learning driving skills. Yes, I bought light weight long ropes. I attached them to my Parelli Bridle. At the end, Cisco was trotting around me in the pasture. His back legs look good. I took off the bridle and he walked with me back to the barn. I said, "Cisco, I love you the most. You…

Round Bale Spring Scratching Post

April 12, 2017Posted inCISCO, Country Frank's Lucky Star, Missouri Fox Trotter
The round bale had been consumed leaving only a cushion of hay on the ground. The horses deserted the round bale to the green grass. It appears that the green grass has been eaten down to the dirt. Lucky Star has been telling me that he is starving. I retort and tell him both of us need to lose our roundness. He snorts on me and is actively looking for a smart phone that is nicker activated. Lucky Star hates Siri. She never responds to his nicker activating attempts to…

The Lucky Star Love Story

March 28, 2017Posted inCISCO, Country Frank's Lucky Star, Missouri Fox Trotter
Once upon a time the favored horse became replaced by the new guy. Lucky Star, the "Horse of No" was a difficult horse for the human. He was dominate over the world, had little to no work ethic and didn't react to pain stimulus. Horses that are reluctant to move won't win many fans in the human and horse world. It takes a ton of horsemanship knowledge to work with these kind of horses. Lucky wasn't the most difficult ever horse. There exist "horses of no" that lie down when…

Music is Emotional- Just Ask the Beatles!

March 17, 2017Posted inMiscellaneous
It was announced that Rain- a Tribute to the Beatles, would be playing at The Kauffman Center for Performing Arts. Dang I missed this when signing up for the usher shifts. Of course, the usher spots were filled now. Hmmmm, thought I. I would like to hear the Beatles music again, so I vowed to get a ticket. Oooops forgot until the day before when attending usher training at The Kauffman Center. Life was good as the box office was open. I asked when the Beatles would be appearing and…

Let’s Make the Arena Fun for Cisco and I!

March 8, 2017Posted inCISCO, Missouri Fox Trotter
I set up the arena for fun! I had two upright barrels standing close together and two large plastic jump boxes standing together. I had the arena alone today so we played at liberty on the ground. Firstly, I needed to do my exercising so Cisco and I walked at a goodly speed twice around the arena. I broke out into a near run while Cisco sped his long legs up ever so little. He stayed with me the entire time. I like to put my hand on his neck…
