I zigged when I should have zagged That's the story of my life. If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all. Well I guess that not all my life is bad. I do have a great kid, nice and supportive hubby, I have a job and a home and I am lucky to have a number of animals ranging from 2000lb Percheron horses to 5oz bantam chickens so my life is full to say the least.So my day goes like this, I should have listened to my inner voice telling me that my hubby didn't fix the breaking sled to make it safe enough to actually use (we went round on this one for the last couple weeks with me attempting to get him to re-engineer it). But the fact of the matter is I didn't and ended up making a trip to the vets office to get stitches in Doug's (my horse) ankle and burn ointment for my hand which got burnt by the lines getting ripped out of them. Call me stupid for trying to stop 4000lbs of scared horseflesh but I did only what came naturally, trying to stop the beasts. I guess things could have been worse. So now Doug is a very unhappy fella confined to a very small turnout area away from his friends for at minimum 2 weeks - the stitches come out then. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he will heal up enough to show him in halter classes at the first horse show of the year in 4 weeks... cross your fingers for me as well, I could use any help out there.
