Sandy thinks he looks cool on Darling’s sweatshirt!
So, what have I been doing that’s taking me away from blogging here at Carpenter Creek? Working my rear end off, that’s what!
Sandy the Mustang has been moved to a training facility south of me. I’m there daily. In order to pay off his board, I clean stalls. I’m building muscle. I’m losing weight. I smell like horse pee…
Effie May, the bottle lamb, goes with me each day. We pack a diaper bag and warm bottles of milk. I change her diapers and she fights me, escaping the diaper and pees on me. I smell like sheep pee mingled with horse pee…
I rode Sandy in the round pen. We tried to lope. He jumped and bumped and nearly unseated me. I’m lucky I didn’t pee my pants. Then again…perhaps I did and I’m just not telling you!!!

The other day I brought my camera down and decided to grab a few shots of one of the young geldings out to play. This horse ought to be a model for Breyer he’s so blasted pretty! I fiddled around with one of the images and came up with this one. I had it printed into a greeting card and am really happy with the way it turned out. Also printed a 5×7 and framed it for my buddy, Curt the horse trainer as a thank you for all the help he’s given me with Sandy. If you’d like to order cards or a 5×7, let me know! Cards are $3.25 each or 12/$25; photos are $15.
