BBHRR = Bareback Halter Road Ride

Not much to report here. Black is suffering from and abscess and I think Lucy and Cat are trying to kill each other. It seems like if it isn't one thing with one of them then it is something with the other. Unfortunatly the KC doesn't help with injuries. If it did - I'd double their dose.

Lucy has cuts and scraps all over her body. Luckily none of them are too deep. Cat...............Cat is going to put me in a white jacket one of these days. Her cheese sliced leg is finally healing and her hair is growing back. Her chest fluctuates depending on what her and Lu have managed to do that day. As of last night it looked as "normal" as I think it is going to look. But now..........now she has a puncture wound on the cheese slice leg up above the knee. I have no clue what she could have gotten into. The pasture is mostly high tensil fence and minus a water tank and some hay bales - there really isn't anything in it. The only thing I can think of is that she poked it on a tree branch or something?

Needless to say her leg is swollen up about 3x the size of normal. I've wrapped her leg (which she despises) so I guess we'll wait and see. Once she's healed up she's going to go visit MIL for a while so I can seperate her and Lu. I don't need Lu getting hurt any worse before Nov. If I have to - I'll take Abby to TX but I really, really, really don't want to!

Lu has given me a few good/much needed laughs over the last few weeks. I made her go into the duck pond since she ins't a big fan of water. She pawed for what seemed like an eternity splashing duck poo water everywhere! After her third trip in she decided it was good enough to roll in. Yuck! She got a bath and I turned her out. I'm so glad those CA halters wash up well.

I did send Cat into it before her last injury. She wasn't as much fun as Lu but she went in. I'd never asked her to go in any water before so it was good for her.

Last night MIL and I rode bb down the road. I just wanted to "ride" so I didn't even bother to put a bridle on Lu. I just snapped some reins on her leather halter and we were off. We rode for and hour or so but quickly ran out of daylight.
