Whats for supper?

[rivermom]

We will be having the stuffed sole fillets that we didn't last night as they were still frozen. Probably add some fresh brocoli I need to use up, and sliced peaches and call it done.

I have to head out on Teenah (horse) tonight w/ hubby taking video's because Teenah's been wanting to buck/ crow hop, act stupid and insane, etc. So, with working with her tonight i don't have tons of time to prepare a fancy meal.

What type of horse is she? Is this kind of behavior uncommon for her? How old is she?

Last night we had italian chicken on the grill I made cauliflower & cheese sauce for me (husband refuses to eat yellow cheese) & he made a can of peas & carrots for himself. Cherry pie for desert.

Tonight I am making waffles & sausage, i got tired of making the same thing over & over too. But fried chicken & mashed potatoes does sound good.

She's a Missour Fox Trotter. (8 years old) Nope, her behavior has just kinda come on the last few rides. She may be feeling frisky do to the cooler temps, not sure. I know she's not in pain, and physically she looks just fine.

She might be having that time of the month where she needs a date, not sure of that either.

So, hopefully tonight after seeing some video and such I can try to pin point more of what's going on.

She's on horsey crack I think and not telling me, LOL.

She's a great horse and has so much spunk...But lately her spunk is placing me in danger.

If she's not on regimate I would agree it might be her time of the month. The fact that the weather suddenly turned brisk might be a factor also. I like the ones with spunk also. My first show horse was part throughbred & he had quite a bit of spunk too, he used to reach back & untie my shoes when we'd be waiting for a class to get placed.

Untie your shoes, that's hilarious!! What a character. That's impressive you show. I doubt I will ever get into that. It's all just western pleasure for me.

What type of horse do you have now?

Sorry this thread became off topic in some of these posts ladies, LOL.

I love reading about your horses! I was on a horse once, ya know at the petting zoo where you can get a pony ride for $5. They are so beautiful but I'm so afraid of them.

He was a character alright. My parents breed quarters (some of our big english horses are part throughbred). My mom & I show English & jumping & my dad shows western pleasure. We have 8 brood mares & stand a western pleasure stud.

Wow - you stay busy for sure. You are so lucky to have the ability to show. I love watching the shows. I belong to a horse club now and most of them show. They all have the "perfect" horses and then well I show up w/ my Teenah. Not show quality but she's enjoyable.

I can respect your fear Carolyn of horses. I've been riding off and on most my life. Teenah is my first owned horse as an adult and i learn more and more as time goes on. (Thank goodness for my girlfriend who lives down the rode from me. She helps me constantly!)

I took a fall off Teenah the end of June that put me in the hospital a few days. Now there are at times when I do become a bit nervous on her but trying to work through it. I am not as young as I used to be and those falls hurt much worse now days.

Oh ouch! Sorry to hear that! Is it true that they can sense when you're afraid of them?

Thanks Carolyn. And yes, it is very true. Horses will want to dominate you. Pretty much just like a dog only the horse is ALOT bigger. You ALWAYS want to have the upper hand on a horse, if not they will give you NO respect and hurt you.

Last night hubby video taped, sure enough she started her small bucks and crow hop. UGH!! So, tonight my girlfriend who rides with me and is knowledgable about horses is to come by and watch me with her. Crap! I've got to play "rodeo" again tonight. I think however, this time I will have a couple gin/tonics in me. I aint doing this rodeo again sober!! Hell no!!!! If we can't figure it out and she don't bow / respect me I will have to sell her and get a new horse. Safety is involved here and I will lose the fight for sure.

$22,000 for my last fall and we can't afford it to happen again.

[Carolyn]

I don't blame you at all! Good luck tonight!
