Love me, Love my Brush!

Yep, big grooming day for Jiggies on Wed evening! Monday I went out to play and it was so dark I couldn't see a thing. I called and called but no avail! I ended up raking poop in hopes that he would get curious and investigate the flying poop! Not interested. Can't say I blame him.

But Wed, I got out of work, got to the farm around 4:15 bright sunny! A bit cold but ok with a couple of sweatshirts. Except I didn't think about the HAIR FACTOR! Yikes! The shedding begins!

It's all good because they know spring is not far away! Jiggies and I played in the pasture while he ate some freshly thrown hay. Then we went into the arena we were all alone. It was awesome.

I set up the arena and he just followed me around. There were many birds nests up in the rafters so there was alot of chirping going on. Very cool chirps. I hadn't heard some of them before. I don't know what kind of birds were up there. Then we did our games, we did all kinds. He stepped right up to the side of the mounting steps and I just layed on him and loved him. We had fun.

We then stepped into the small area where I usually feed him his herbs. He patiently waited for me to combine his goodies and chowed down! I oiled him up and started the grooming process! I think I had more hair on me than he did! Oiled up his hooves combed out his mane. He looked very handsome! 4 hours we spent together.

I was so serene when I left the barn. He was happy to go out and show off his new sleek look! I love you buddy. I will see you in a couple of days!

About Me

My photo
Genoa, Illinois, United States
I am a southern girl who moved north right out of highschool. Born and raised in Fla, couldn't take the intense heat. I moved to Massachussetts and loved New England. From there I moved to the Midwest when my boys were small. Here I have made a great life with my special boys. I have a great job, friends and as of a few years ago a terrific husband. I love life. My boys are grown now and off in college. It is a quiet satisfaction that these boys helped me thru some hard times and they are well rounded happy adults. I am truely blessed. I also have an extensive pet list! I love animals as well! I bought my boy in 2000 after I was laid off at my job. Best thing I ever did! I have been working Parelli with him since about 2001 but more dilligently in the last 6 months. He introduced me to the wonderful world of oils when he split his back hoof almost off! I now work holistic with all my animals. I am a Reiki Master Teacher (energetic healing) and work with some herbs as well for whole health of the animal (and humans)! It is truely a fabulous journey he is taking me on...
