Question:
I’ve had my share of horse injuries too! The most recent being a kick in the behind by a Halflinger pony, he really nailed me good. But he had some feeding issues – he had been severely starved so he’s pretty serious about dinnertime. We managed to figure out his buttons and pushed them. How many lupoids out there have horses?

Bent over at the wrong place/time? Hope your behind feels better soon Candi, My brother (if he has Lupus) has a horse. I think it too was a "rescued" horse. Used to have several for the kids. Well like dogs/situations, kids grow up and away. My niece who just had the baby, still did go out and ride when she had the time. But Dave got stuck with the feeding and care of. She and he had an accident about 6? years ago. Both were on the horse, the horse reared, she fell off the back, only her feelings and butt were bruised. he went flying up in the air and came down hard, on the horse/saddle/pelvis. That landed him in hospital. In the meantime, he grumbles constrantly that the animals (dog, cat, horse) meet him when he comes home tired and all they want is food (gimme, gimme, gimme). I’ve been trying to convince him that his pets really care and miss him when he’s gone. He’s skeptical. <g> A very good friend (years ago, I miss her) had very long hair and her horse used to nip at the hair. Unfortunately, one day her long hair was partly lying over her breast. Guess what got nipped ! Ouch ! J

I used to breed and start Missouri Fox Trotters under saddle. I loved it! I had an Arab gelding for fun, and he was a kick in the pants. Used to be "Cal Worthington’s dog Spot" for any of you from Southern California in the 80’s. He was a true Hollywood horse, did all of the "stunts", cut cattle, played tag in the field. I really loved that little guy. (14.3) Breeding, delivering, and working the babies was a great experience, and so much work. I miss that an awful lot, too. I did the imprint training, had them leading by a few days old, ponying them beside mom before you knew it. Starting those guys was easy when they were 2. (John Lyons techniques) Today they’re all terrific show/trail horses. Unfortunately, this was when I was married to my ex, who decided one day that he didn’t want to be married anymore, but instead wanted to "explore his options" (I wasn’t aware there were options like that when you’re married.. haha) and as a single person, I had to sell off all of my babies. I still have the tack, saddles hang from the rafters in the garage, show bits hang on the walls of my home. An old 30’s saddle is in my living room. My husband who I marred a little over 2 years ago bought the property next door so that one day we can have horses, and I can get my passion back again. Lately I’ve been so sick all the time, I have been forgoing the dream for more logical things. I pray that one day I will have horses out my kitchen window again! That was probably too much information, but hey, you asked! hahaha -Aerochick P.S. Yes, I’ve had my share of injuries, but not so bad as I’ve read… small things like broken toes (I was on meds that made me lose my peripheral vision- my fault), bruises… Nothing that was bad enough to make me rethink my horses.. haha like there is anything that bad… ;) "Candi Bowen" <reen…@earthlink.net> wrote in message

Alas, no more – but I’ve bred and trained Quarter Horses and Arabs. I used to ride at Aramis Stables when I lived in Vegas. Sure wish I had the physical strength to have another small herd.

Just what I was thinking *sniff* *sniff* I’m in the middle of showing my Percheron mare to prospective buyers. I haven’t the strength or the energy these days to take care of her, let alone ride her anymore. I’m devastated, but hate to see her stand out there and not be ridden any longer. She is boarded, so I cant just go out and hang with her like she was in my back 40 or anything it’s a drive to go see her, and there’s always so much activity and other peoples horses and kids to worry about, I can’t do it anymore. I hate it!
Response:
It’s a lot of work, especially since they’re in the ‘back 40′ (that’s actually what my boyfriend calls it & it’s only an acre) but my doc says that they’re keeping me alive. I don’t ride much any more either but I sure love them. Horse injury story – My Morgan mare likes to nibble on things, she’s very inquisitive and playful. She ‘nibbled’ on my shoelaces once, glanced up at me, grabbed them in her mouth and lifted her head. I swear, she was laughing as I went flying onto my back. She likes to nibble on my diamond ring too; I have visions of someday dissecting her poop for days 
She’s so funny. She likes to play ‘peek’ – I’ll cover her eyes with my hands (this is stupid, I know) & say "where’s Jess?", then I lift my hands and say "there she is!". Every time, she looks startled; she loves it. Candi

Morgans aren’t horses – they are precocious children with extra legs!

Good news and bad news….good news is, I sold my horse…..bad news is…..I sold my horse…. I sold her to a young lady that is sad that I had to sell her and swears that if I EVER feel like riding, she will get her all ready (eliminating the can’t get her all brushed out, saddled, and ready to ride AND find the energy to ride too dilemma) but, she lives 3 hours away, so then I have to deal with that problem, but it’s the thought that counts I suppose. She is me 20 years ago, so she’s going to a great place which helps, but I wish I didn’t have to. But I can see this girl really getting her ready for me to ride if I honestly called her up and said I was coming. Chalk up another life change because of lupus. I guess I can look at the bright side, I have certainly made this girls day, she hasn’t slept since I showed her on Saturday, she’s so excited! That part makes me feel good.
