Damn Horse

The Boss is still limping from her knee surgery, combined with her bum back, and the granddaughter has been poor at taking care of the horse.  Spread over several days this last week I dug and hauled 16 loads of packed horse crap using a wheel barrow from the stall.

The horse is a small mare that today was in heat.  And she sure was bitchy.  With help I managed to clean packed crap out of her hooves.  Three cleaned well and the fourth sort of clean.  I was once told that a horse can't kick sideways.  That little mare managed to do it anyway.  She pulled her leg from my grasp, kicked to the side and caught me on the side of the knee, shoving me into the near wall.  Glad I didn't have much weight on that leg at the time. Nothing but a bruise, thankfully.

IF WE EVER GET ANOTHER HORSE, IT WILL NOT BE A MARE.
