No Tricks And Lots Of Treats!

It's not quite Halloween yet but I just had to get some treats for my favorite filly! Since the weather has started to get a little soggy, I got Lily a new Himalayan salt lick and a Uncle Jimmy's Hanging ball (in apple flavor, yum) to help keep her occupied during stall time. I love the Himalayan salt licks because they are super hard and therefore last a really long time, the horse can't take a bite out of them like the softer mineral blocks and they come with a hole drilled in them and a small rope so you can tie them through the stall bars to keep them out of any horsey messes on the ground! I also got a few treats for myself because I just got the new Back In The Saddle catalog and they have such great stuff! I got two super cute T-shirts and an all weather hat (like an aussie oilskin hat) that I couldn't resist because I've been watching McLeods Daughters non stop. The shirt to the left is one that I ordered and so very true! What I actually need is good pair of boots and I really like the Ariat Legend western boot (pic below) but that's a treat that I'll have to save for Christmas!

5 Things I Love About My Horse



1. That velvety, snuffling muzzle


2. Her exquisite, uniquely equine scent


3. That low rumbly nicker when she sees me coming


4. Her complete devotion to carrots and Mrs. Pastures cookies


5. Her saucy trot and bucks when I turn her out in cool weather


I just love my horse! Every time I go to the barn, I always leave in a better mood than when I arrived. I love taking care of her, buying carrots, good hay, Stall Dry.......anything to make her life better makes me happy! I feel very blessed that I am able to have her in my life.
