I have been sitting here trying to think up a witty and eye catching title for today's post and do you think anything is coming my way here? Not on your life! So, Iam afraid that you will have to take the chance and read on without an eye catching, sensational headline. lol
Once again Massie Lodge has been a hive of activity this week with Adam coming over to take off Bob's (Centenn) shoes, and trim both Flossie and Shortpants (who wouldnt keep still). Having called Evan mid morning to see how it was going, I worked out from the short reply that he was having a hell of a time with all three hooved ones. Mind you, I was going through my own kind of trauma with the customer from hell who came into the office and was a real pig.
Do you ever look at someone, act politely and civily yet think that you would like to punch them in the nose to knock some sense in them? That was me with this bloke. He was the first customer of the morning and I swear it set the tone for the whole day. It was HORRIBLE!
And of course, when one is ploughing through a rough day, one turns to comfort food for some relief from the anxiety that has been caused. Iam way to embarrassed to tell what I ate that day. Lets say that there was plenty alcohol consumed between Evan and I when I got home.
Bits and Pieces.......
Oscar (Tannerang Baluk) has left Massie Lodge today to go back into work and has gone to a trainer in Ballina. Excellent news for Oscar who has really spelled well with us and is ready to do something after a 3 month break.
Lotto (aka Telbon Lotto, pictured above) has arrived for a stay at Massie Lodge. He is a big 16hh 7yo Bellotto gelding. Welcome to Massie Lodge Lotto ... he will go down with Bob when Adam comes next week to get his shoes off. In the meantime, Cindy has decided that Lotto is a raging Stallion and wont stay away from him (lol, these girls go crazy when they are in season!). Cindy had better get over that soon as she will be due to leave us at the end of next week.
We are expecting a few new arrivals over the weekend... watch this space!
Sunny's foot is progressing nicely and is well on the way to recovery. No, I dont want to talk about the episode with the Stockholm Tar this morning - yuk! Bloody horse! We have ordered a Davis Boot to put on her foot for the rest of the recovery process which should arrive in next week. Iam sure that she will love it as much as we will love the fact that we will not have to put a bandage on her foot anymore! We are still searching for a name for her..... I have given this job to our friend, Sue Black ... who Iam sure will come up with something fitting (apart from Bitch!)
Eric is still not well, however, is recovering from his abcess slowly with daily jabs of penicillan and poultice dressings. He is (unlike Sunny), a very good patient.
Evan and I have decided to have a bit of fun racing while Sunny recovers (the plan was to put her back in work in March, however, we are now looking at the other half of the year depending on how quickly her foot grows back). So, we have bought a little percentage of Joey (Joie de Victorie) who is with Paul. Tomorrow we will go and meet up with the other owners and watch her work at Toowoomba (at some ungodly hour!!!). Watch the blog for some piccies tomorrow.
The reports out of Wadham Park 2 is that Charlie is progressing nicely. Keep up the good work Mr. Farley.
Max and Billy are coming along nicely and really are 2 peas in a pod now - which is great for Billy as he was in dire need of someone to be close to. Jimmy will be weaned in March (which is 6 months), so it will then be a trio of trouble!
Lenny and Jakey are on the list to get their feet done next week (lucky Adam). Evan and I have started talking about Lenny being sent away to be broken in with Paul Moody, however not in the immediate future. All hell will break loose when we separate those 2 boys - that is something you can count on!! Lenny is certainly a stunner (Sweetie sure produces good lookers) now all we need is for him to be able to run fast. I wonder how he will like being registered, "Nosnibor"??
Enough rambling for today my friends... tomorrow is another day!
