So last Saturday I took a tumble.. I had went out to take Mell out for a spin bareback. I was dumb and decided to try and lead her overtop of one of the fences after I had put it down. She ended up freaking out, getting her back legs caught and taking off. Right over my head. I tape fencing (with wires in it) had wrapped around my legs and caused some burn marks. I was more worried about my horses though, so I put the fence back up, caught Mell, and managed to keep Reb in. Then I collected my bridle, leads, helmet, and other stuff. When I was walking up the hill to the house I finally realized that I was in severe pain. Upon reaching the house I called out and mom n chels came to my aid. I cleaned them that night and went in to the ER the next morning (fathers day). I got all wrapped in gauze and ointment, then headed to a fathers day celebration in the park. I have been cleaning them daily, and they are just now starting to look better. I only worked 2/5 days this week (chels did the rest for me), and even that was minimal work. I am off to John's grad party later today, and then a Mallards game. Just thought I should clue everyone in on what actually happened. I should be up and riding within the next week hopefully. Thanks for all the support deed, tric and the fam, even if it was more of a laugh for you than for me. ta ta for now. :]

hoo.

He died today. At around 1:30, his heart just stopped. I held back my tears until gene and mother had left the pen. Then I cried, and cried, and cried some more. I tried to close his eyes, but they remained open. I smoothed his coat and rubbed his face. I hurt. I am positively miserable. I can't stop crying. They called to send their love. I appreciate the effort. Mother says it isn't my fault. Susan says theses things happen. I say life sucks. I should have checked them all again last night. But I didn't. And now... He's dead. The Pied Piper of Shady Hill is no more.

Chelsea says that Pain makes people think, thought makes people wise, and wisdom makes life endurable. That is her favorite quote I guess. And it helps. Kind of.. I miss him. Everywhere I look there is something that reminds me of him. His show poster. His halter. The pasture... He wasn't a very good show llama, but he was an amazing guard, and the best ambassador to the species. The irony in all of this is that he passed on, in his nylon cord, fancy dancy, extra special (his favorite), show halter. I don't know why, but when mother went down to him all she could find was his black beauty halter. Don't know what that is supposed to mean.

We tried.. and failed.

Yoda. is. no. more.

Midwinter was fun. last saturday and friday's riding was a blast. my horse, reba, laid down in the snow while we were riding. lmao. i thought it was cute, if not naughty. :] riding ruby and spirit at mac's was a workout but nothing compared to mac's ride on mocha. mocha is such a .. well... just ask mac. she was BAD. she laid down and twisted her saddle around. ugh. i am mildly sickish today. so now i will go take a nappy. :] ttfn. short n simple for once. cool. :]

so its 2008. eeks and ahh's. we now have three years left of high school. then its off to real life. i am taking driver ed soon. ugh. i am going to be working at hoofbeat again this summer, not so bad. i will be going to california if at all humanly possible. my horse is going to have a baby in june... and my other mare might too. :]
thats happy. my dog is going to be bred soon. most of my goats will be having babies come spring..... lots of new chores, but also lots of new subjects for my photography. my new years eve party went well. the after party was the best part in my opinion. lol. cannibal pygmies in the jungle of doom is the best. followed by grave robbers from outer space. and then balderdash. lol. i went riding kind of recently. hoping to go work with shad man this weekend. we'll see how hectic life gets first. we might have to drive to elkhorn/lake geneva this saturday. it all depends. if we do though then i get to see Tish's big warmbloods. *camera at my side* lol. and i get to see snow white *her british creme*. so life isn't all that bad i guess. the newsletter meeting went well today. our ffa chapter will now have a website too. hopefully by next wednesday. tomorrow's friday. :] yays!!!!
i am done with hum2 slideshow, now all i need is the bibi.
