    Watching your videos has pulled me out of the purple funk that I’ve been in for quite a little while. I think I’m probably not the only one who has gotten disheartened with the world and the situation we’ve all been in these past several years. It just seems like there are so many more greedy, selfish, uncaring people in the world. Watching you as you stay focused on your goal in life, doing wonderful things for creatures, hearing how you speak so gently to your animals and how sensitive you are to their needs on a daily basis has really raised my spirits and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Thank you for doing what you’re doing and being who you are.

He had same day surgery to remove a large kidney stone he was unable to finish passing. As I drove him home, it stopped snowing. Instead of coming into the house with me, he climbed into his truck, lifted the plow, and went off to take care of his customers' driveways. Ten hours later he finally got back and let me pamper him (that is, after I voiced my opinion in a loud manner). God, I miss him! ❤😢

      “I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to.”
      “He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.”
      “It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.”
      “To me it would not seem that a Steward who faithfully surrenders his charge is diminished in love or in honour.”
      “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

    Good to note, sometimes fractures cannot be seen on X-rays until a week later. If the radiologist doesn’t see anything and you are still very painful a week later, might be a good idea to go get more X-rays. Feel better! ❤️

    Don't have an amazing suggestion on a name. Back in the'80s I actually ended up with a 7 year old gray Arab gelding, being "gifted" with one by a friend who actually thought my life was not complete without a gray Arab gelding. She had fallen on hard times and needed a place to keep her horse. He morphed into mine. After we got him we were calling him "the gray horse" because he was the only gray horse on the property. It stuck. His name with us became "Gray Horse" and that was it for the rest of his life.

    Hey, I understand about not wanting to see the doctor. I'm in my 80s now, but I remember my grandpa telling me that he visited the HORSE DOCTOR, as he was smarter than people doctors......he did not ask his patients what was wrong! At the time, we were loaded up with cotton in the wagon, pulled by his 4 big mules, headed to the cotton gin. We left there with his big bag of cotton seeds for next year's crop.

  • @suehuntwork5890

    I like what you called him as you hobbled up - Buddy. With arthritis and old fractures I now work safer with a single point cane leaving me the other hand for pulling a wagon, not as Sharpe with a wheelbarrow. I get things done just slower. Suggestion for next spring with Nigel. Wash with a nice massage action, conditioner with dwell time and warm water rinse with just running hose and scrubby glove. If he is anything li,e my heavy double coated dog the dry brush out after may mean 1 day's work not 3. Please have an upended 5 gallon b7cket on either side of him and plunk your butt. Save your back working on the shorty "no legs" horse.

    I broke my ankle in March of 2020, the COVID year. Slipped going downhill when I stepped on a hose that was under the snow; my foot lodged behind a grass clump, but I kept hurtling past and the rest is history. I limped inside and took off MY muck boot right away or it would've had to be cut off. Didn't go to the doctor--because like I said, COVID--and just taped and wrapped it. It happened on March 14, which was a Saturday, so it was the day between Friday the 13th and the Ides of March. I should have known.
    I kept on doing my chores every day, hobbling out to the barn to feed horses and collect the manure, keep the water filled and so on. I finally had it x-rayed four months later (yes, four months) just to make sure it had healed properly. Turns out I'd broken it in three places, although nothing was displaced. It's all fine now, but I can tell you for sure that I'm extra, extra careful on hills when it's slippery. I don't have a back-up helper available, so being out of commission for several weeks is a sobering thought.

    • @alycewich4472
      @alycewich4472 Před 13 dny

      In my expereince the soft tissues ones are worse as sometimes the soft tissue never heals completely (or maybe it's just a lot of scar tissue). I've had both and the broken bones healed long ago so no pain as long as I don't hit it directly with something hard. like a shovel. But the soft ones start complaining when I've worked them too long. The first break was a leg. The last soft tissue was a crushed foot (sideways from the small toe side to the big toe side...)

    Oh my goodness! I am so sorry to hear about your accident with your leg! This is so unfortunate and untimely for you. Your strength, determination, and dedication to your horses is so much a part of your character that you don't even allow something as horrific as a broken bone to stop you from your duties!! C!ever Cowgirl, you truly show us it takes alot of inner strength to be doing all that you do, and now when you're suffering from a terribly painful injury besides. You pushed forward, ignoring your own discomfort, and put your responsibilities first. As Women, I think I can speak for us and say, " we admire and respect you." One never knows when something unexpected can come calling. Sometimes life really tests us. It can make us tired and discouraged. So we need to see around the problem. Eyes focused upwards. I see a lovely neighbor' s horse who comes to visit. I see another lovely horse that is calm, and adapting to their new surroundings, and then I see a lovely Clever Cowgirl, who truly has a warrior's heart of gold. I am not the only one who sees. God bless you and keeping you my prayers.

    In July 22, I fell while taking puppies from the inside to outside to feed them and with the last puppy in my left arm I fell - on cement. My foot clipped the bottom of their pen as I stepped out. I saw my right arm do something weird and I knew we had a problem. My neighbor took me to the emergency room but not before the puppies (2 litters) were fed! I broke it under the collar bone and my wonderful neighbors and hubby helped me through it. I think those of us who love and have animals do what we have to do to take good care of them.
