Stretching

Left, and right, and left and right. You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around

Just plain tired

This retirement is just wearing me out!

Learning to Tie

You can teach an old horse new tricks! Learning to tie. First day. Did pretty good, Claudia was more nervous than I was. But she had backup, Terri was there she kept saying "Does it look like hes worried?" Nope.

We have been working on so many things lately. Alot of ground work, but I am loving it. Especially the rewards!

Cold, cold, cold, 55 the winds blowing, snows falling, but still, she brings me my grain and carrots. Nice crunchy snack, and a big gulp of water.. then back inside!

Big Ole Belly Ache

So the last couple of days has been terrible, I've had a severe belly ache. The weather went from 80 to 59 overnite. I don't like sudden climate changes. Claudia called out the vet and he stuck a tube down my nose, and filled my tummy with oil and water, yuck! He stuck stuff in one end and the other! Well after a couple of scary painful days.... I pooped. The ladies around the barn told me I was such a good boy for pooping, I havent heard someone tell me I was a good boy for pooping since I was a small colt. But if thats what makes em happy, I'll oblige.
But everyone is breathing a sigh of relief, one more day of banamine, and I should be feeling much better. Pooping is good!

Rolling

O the joy, the joy!!

Rearview

This is so embarrassing, a butt shot!!! A nice butt, but still a butt shot!

Easy Afternoon

Just enjoying the company of Claudia and the warm September afternoon.

Eating Panache's Grass

I don't think he can see me if I stay below the fence line. I'm grazing in Panache's pen. Shhh, he doesn't know I'm here!

Did you hear that?

I heard that! O it was just a pheasant.
For a moment I thought it was a beastie!!!

Canter on!!!!!!!

Lita loves me.

She whispered "Sweet Nothings" in my ear.

Lita on Billy

Lita came for a visit,
it was fun to see her again
I told her to tell my sisters
hello. I miss her, and all the carrots she fed me! Hopefully she'll be back soon.

Were posing for Equus, I love the clover.

vacation

Claudia went on a fantastic trail ride in S. Calif with Lita. I would have gone but noooo they didn't have room for a horse in first class.

Perfection

I am. Absolutely stunning! And I'm not the only one who thinks so, just ask anyone who gazes upon me. Okay, I just had a nice little work out and a bath, who doesn't feel good about themselves after that?

Oooohhh yea that feels so good! She always knows where the itchy spot is.

Grace on Billy

Grace thinks I'm wonderful. She isn't so bad herself.

Grace took me out for a little ride. I am starting to get the hang of this dressage thing.

Hey Buddy Got a Carrot you could spare? Times are tough. C'mon give an old guy a break!

Leave me alone!

I'm going to my room!

Monday Afternoon
