206.81.97.142and so are you 
We have to get these boys together sometime-maybe in the spring....Luke has that same big goober attitude! - Thanks, Kelly!

67.142.130.22He's suddenly turned into a really fun horse to ride. At home, that is Working on the trailering out - I might try to get down to Camelot again on Thursday.
How does Luke like the CA Trace pellets?? - he likes them fine

69.72.120.82Lovely horse! What's the saying? A bad day riding is better than a good day at work! 
Sorry I didn't congratulate you the day this was posted.
I was disconnected from the 'net for a day and a half....my husband and son was pulling cable through conduit(sp?) so we can connect to local cable....Yeahhhhhh...broadband here we come! Still have some more labor to do before we get connected...nothing's easy>lol "Had to put it underground...if you just order it, the company comes and hangs it on poles...can't have anything overhead." - Oooops that didn't

69.72.117.247sound right. Meant 'any' day riding. You mentioned it was a good day for riding. I don't get to ride near enough...even riding in the rain would feel like a good day to me.... - Yeah!

He's such a nice boy Sally-keep riding him and bringing him places and he'll be all grown up in no time!
- Beautiful pics!!!

- You realize that...

75.105.41.179He's sure a beautiful beefy boy! What a great riding area... even with the burn out.. it's still pretty. I can almost hear the hoofbeats on the soft earth.
.. thanks for the pix! It's so nice to **see** what you've been talking about!!! It looks like heaven!! - If you want to see "beefy"..........

67.142.130.47You need to see cmkdreams's rescue porker, Maark. The photos are on my other computer, which is out for repairs, but you can see what he looked like at http://thepainfuljourney-equinefounder.blogspot.com/
Here is what he looked like the day he arrived. He was already crashing into laminitis before he stepped off the van.

63.203.168.229He really did give new meaning to "beefy". But at least I didn't start calling him "Beef Cakes". And glad Moby 
didn't stick.

Posted by Sally on November 2, 2009, 7:27 pm, in reply to "Re: Poor Maark"
67.142.130.26Maark will forever be known as "the fattest horse that ever survived laminitis". However, just like Jared of the "Subway diet" fame, Maark will be someday be the poster boy for equine weight loss and fitness
- ohhh nooo. .. that is *fat* ...

75.105.41.179what I consider beefy is big and fit. - So who did take the pictures?
Posted by Karla on November 2, 2009, 8:56 am, in reply to "I rode my big, fat TB today"
67.188.93.9I want to know too!
I am glad you enjoyed riding your boy. He's not fat, just well fleshed! - Fred took the pictures
Posted by Sally on November 2, 2009, 9:12 am, in reply to "So who did take the pictures?"
67.142.130.47I couldn't afford Beiron again, LOL!!
Robo is well insulated for winter

63.203.168.229GREAT pics. And I'm so jealous 'cause I didn't get to ride yesterday. Didn't even find time to get on Moose Baby. 
Was hoping to bring him up for our ride but guess that'll just have to be another year. Robo's lookin' good. Compared to your new horse (hint hint hint), Robo looks like Twiggy.

67.142.130.45When are you headed up there to ride... I'll come join you and get a ride with both of you. I can stay in the Concow lounge Will talk Don into going with me so he can hang out with Fred.

67.142.130.45that would be the 14th day right? I will chat more with you and Sally... see what we can come up with.
- The 14th is good

67.142.130.26If you guys need a place to spend the night, there is a fabulous guest house over on Big Bend Rd. Too beautiful for words - and a LOT warmer than the Concow Lounge
- Re: "new" horse
Posted by Sally on November 2, 2009, 9:16 am, in reply to "re: And what's that I see on his feet?"
67.142.130.47Yeah - Maark makes Robo look svelte Those 2 would make an interesting pair!
Cakes and I worked on clearing trails yesterday. The footing is great!Great views from the ridge tops now. - OMG... Our favorite jump spot

on November 2, 2009, 7:58 am, in reply to "I rode my big, fat TB today"
67.142.130.45is clear??????? You mean Toga won't see any more scary monsters around the trees, or have any horse swallowing bugs jump out at him????
I remember well the first time I took Toga across that spot... He started about a foot back from the creek and landed pretty close to that log laying on the ground, darn near ran the both of us into the trees that "were" there...
Gosh Sally, I cannot believe how "empty" for lack of other words to describe it up there. Even the RR bridge looks clear... and the manzanitas...
When is your clinic again? I hope to go up for that, would be nice if we had time for a ride too.
Robo is moving out nicely huh? No more big leaps Who took the pics?
- next anatomy clinic is Nov. 21
Posted by Sally on November 2, 2009, 9:10 am, in reply to "OMG... Our favorite jump spot"
67.142.130.47Well, we prefer to describe the forest environment as "open", LOL! Actually, around the lake a lot of things survived and there are places where it's really not too bad. I try to focus on what we have, not what is gone.
Robo has been doing pretty well lately, and I am having fun riding him. Fred got roped into taking pictures yesterday. I have a new camera and he's not used to it yet, so a few were blurry, but i thought he did great. - Cool...

67.142.130.45Count me in... Would love it if I could actually get up there for a ride too. Bet Tango or Khadie would like the trails up there.
- you both look really good.. it does look
Posted by candi on November 2, 2009, 5:12 am, in reply to "I rode my big, fat TB today"
98.142.73.24like a beautiful day to be riding. I couldn't even see a scar on him... he really healed up well.. I'm sure you can see it since you know where he was hurt.. but he looks great. - You remembered that horrible injury
Posted by Sally on November 2, 2009, 9:29 am, in reply to "you both look really good.. it does look"
67.142.130.47Yeah, when i look at him it's hard to remember when it looked like a cannon ball had been shot into his chest. Equine Elite Wound Relief healed him up with hardly a scar
- that's right!
Posted by =d= on November 2, 2009, 6:26 pm, in reply to "You remembered that horrible injury"
75.105.41.179I can always count on Candi to REMEMBER EVERYTHING.
Gee.. I'm working on updating the EE site.. maybe we ought to go through your photos for a before and after series, huh?
- I will pull up the photos for you.
Posted by Sally on November 2, 2009, 7:29 pm, in reply to "that's right!"
67.142.130.26Most of them are pretty gruesome.
