Fitting Six horses in a Three Horse Slant load.. it can be done...

Yes, you can fit 6 horses in a 3 horse slant load, it takes some patience, ingenuity, it helps to have food an as incentive, and really really small horses.... horse molds that is, so no need to panic. And the food was to feed the helpers.. All this was in my basement, molds that I had bought from Jim Renaker and Kathleen Hartman. And since I am not using them anymore, I decided to sell them. If all goes as planned, they'll be with their new owner next week. The sixth horse is in the tackroom of the trailer. And if you're wondering what these are... these are the molds to make the plaster casting molds, each section of plaster casting mold has it own mold. So, if the mold to cast a ceramic horse is made up of 7 individual pieces, there are 7 individual molds to make those pieces. And if you have 4 horses that use 7 plaster pieces, there's almost 30 mold sections.. clear as mud isn't it.



Spring has sprung here, with a vengence, actually it went right into summer, so we've planted the garden; corn, green beans, snap peas, tomatoes, broccoli, radishes, spinach and okra.

Whenever a small plane or helicopter goes over the house, I wonder what they are thinking when they see those 'grave like' boxes.... I have a couple of others in the back of the house too. Plus the wild dogwoods are blooming.



Finally I think my horse is recovered from his bought of pneumonia, what a scare, three bacterial infections at once; e-coli, serratia, and strep. He'd lost about 100 pounds, and finally is gaining it back, he just had no appetite either for a long time. Hopefully the 'heaves' (the equine version of COPD) he developed from this tho will go away, but only time will tell. He was a trooper thru the whole ordeal, 10 days in the 'horsepital' too, ouch.. once we got the bill. But we've have had higher vet bills, one dog we had had to have an emergency spleenectomy, which set us back almost $2,000.


I finally got a good photo of Scout, his bicolor eyes, its like someone took a blue felt tip pen and drew a circle. Its really pretty, Rocky's eyes have it too, but not near as pronounced.


Well, happy spring to all.. the next hurdle is hubby's hip replacement surgery for his left hip on the 27th, hopefully it will all go as smoothly as the first one, the right one was done in 2008.
