Took my Mare Jazz out for her first solo ride. Now that I'm old......er the fact that I could be seriously injured or worse tends to cross my mind more often than it did when I was in my 20's 30's and early 40's. As a reminder as to things that can happen,( getting bucked off) all I have to do is feel what I call the divet in my head or the ache I still get in my once broken collar bone, or even the huge extra thigh I pack around on my right leg.....Ok enough of that I'm getting far afield of my post. Anyhow caught my girl and proceeded to our routine. I have to do everything different with this horse, not to get too far away from our ride, Jazz came back from her trainer as a 4 yr old with unexpected issues which I won't get into, suffice it to say she can have soundness issues along with some other stuff . So this is what we do before every ride. I apply these essential oils to various different locations, DiGize on her belly just ahead of her teats, as she gets a bit uptight with the whole riding thing and acts like she has a belly ache....seems to work and she likes it. Aroma Siez along her Gaskin all the way to her fetlock, both legs. Peppermint on both Hocks and Release on both sides of her neck along with a massage. Jazz's body is so out all the time, you should hear her neck cracking and popping when we do the neck stretches.<br />

After we are done with the oils it's off to the round pen to loosen up and get rid of the kinks. Yuk bad pic, she is not downhill the ground is higher at her butt end. She's feeling good at this point.<br />

So saddled and ready to go. It started to rain so I put my slicker over the saddle, Jazz wasn't too bad about it. A month ago this horse would have been beside herself jumping and twitching...good job Jazz....just a few little twitches.</div>

So down the road we go to get to the trail, we were both a bit nervous I'd say and I have to admit my hand kinda hovered close to the horn.......which I seldom use and I do mean seldom. After we got by all the different horses and one rotten dog we made it to the trail, by then I could feel her relaxing a bit.</div>

Look at her ears, pointed in the right direction all the time. She's engaged, she 's interested and she just plain likes it. Riding this horse is becoming a real treat, we still have a long way to go and a lot to learn but at least I know she's willing. At this point in the ride we were both pretty comfortable. The sun had come out so I was getting a bit warm and wanted to take my coat off....my noisy coat</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
( which this horse is afraid of) I slipped one arm at a time out and tied it around my waist, what a good girl just a few twitches. We rode for about an hour or a bit longer( got cold and put coat back on just a few twitches) had a few spooks, she tends to spook in place, quite manageable.....whew cause boy I can't stay on like I used to. We headed for home and she was just as consistent as she was leaving.</div>

It came running up behind Jazz so I spun her around which she does really well and put the run on it.....not so brave anymore....that was good for a chuckle. So we made it home with nothing bad happening, it was a great ride. I'm very pleased with this Mare. Shirley Nicholas you can be proud of the horses you have put on the ground, good minds( minus bad training practices) fast learners, good dispositions and pretty easy on the eye. We had one little glitch( I'm pretty sure Jazz thought it was more than a little glitch) and no I didn't get a picture. We were coming up the hill to the tack shed and I was about to open the gate when curious girl decides to reach out and see what this is.</div>

Well it sounded like a firecracker went off poor thing had stuck the soft part of her nose on the electric fence ( it is a good one) holy crap airborne ...almost went over backwards....all four feet off the ground!!!!Eyeballs popping out of her head.....poor girl we had such a good outing right up till then. Took a minute or so to get her to go through that gate.....had to do a bit of soothing and of course she's looking at me like I tried to kill her or something. It's a little hard to explain to a horse that it's her own fault, anyhow if it hadn't been for that it would have been almost the perfect ride. Wow that turned into a book....sorry hope it wasn't boring. Looking forward to the next ride....minus any electricity lol.</div>

Jazz leading the way. The more rides I get on this horse the more I like her. She is an odd little horse but she tries hard and that's worth something. She is six this year and still what I call quite "Green" however in these photos she is out front leading the much more seasoned horses, she doesn't seem bothered by too much and nothing that slowed her progress. She has a nice fast walk and covers the ground easily without slips and trips.........lov'n her.<br />

Here are some shots of Jazz while in a Bruce Koch - Natural Horsemanship Clinic back in May. I got a few eye openers during that clinic and so did Jazz ( I think everyone did)<br />

By the end of the clinic I was well aware of my horses and my own shortcomings. We have a lot of things to work on. How you see this horse in the pic below is how she went trail riding on the final day, gotta like that.</div>

Now that that part is behind us for another season and my time is mostly my own, it is horse season...yes!!! finally way more time for horses. As you might see these horses are all overweight and in need of some consistent use...which they are in for......poor creatures they have no idea what they are in for, they seem to have come to the conclusion that they're just intended to wander around and look pretty....wink wink. So here are a few shots of what we have been up to for the last few weeks. This is Mattie out on the trails behind our place.<br />

Jenn and Moxie, then Jazz and Crystal with Razz, this was cute because Razz wouldn't keep her ears up for a nice shot so Crystal helped her out a bit.</div>

Jazz after I got home from riding with Crystal, she was very tired. I didn't get any shots through her ears as she is still very...very green, she was quite excited by a few of the things she encountered out there so I thought it best to keep my hands where they belonged....firmly on the reins. She was quite pleased with herself when she got a cow to move, I'm not sure who was more surprised her or myself.</div>

Crystal and her very nice horse Razz. Some of you might recognize this woman. Crystal is a blogger friend from Alberta, she stopped by here on her way home from a clinic she had attended in the States. I am so grateful she did, not only did I get to know her better but she helped me out in a way I'm not even sure she is aware of. My little horse is pretty green and has not had a whole lot of riding time outside the arena, I won't take her out alone. I took advantage of having Crystal here to ride this horse instead of the others. She was well behaved ....a little spooky at times nothing I couldn't handle ....except once where she went one way and then deeked me, I managed to hang on though. I think Crystal's good horse and her quiet riding style helped to keep Jazz in a good place. Thank you Crystal....Let's not wait too long to do this again. </div>

The big Greenhouse is done and if plants showed up today they would have a place to live. So one house done the stove works......and I am finally starting to look forward to the season. I already am thinking about what combos of plants yahooooooo.<br />

Lighting her up. I will be paranoid now until about May. With nothing for back up heat it is always a bit tense around here for awhile. It always works although we have had a few failures, nothing that killed the plants though( Big sigh of relief)</div>

(facebook reunited us) sent me these pics and I thought I would share for a chuckle.<br />

Do you guys recognize the horse.....yup that's my boy shortly before I became his person....so strange to see someone else on him.<br />

Can you figure out what I'm referring to. Sorry guys for the horrible pics, most of you know this horse and you know she's a gem so I won't go on and on about why the crap pics. Anyhow to get on with the info part......the plan is.......wait for it..... Jazz is going to be bred in the Spring as long as everything is good with her of course. I'm not going to allow myself to get excited yet because as we all know the best laid plans ....Murphy's law yada yada yada you know what I mean. The poor thing won't even get to meet the potential Sire as all of the important stuff will be performed by vets ( AI). Are you interested yet? Are you starring at the screen going c'mon who is the Stallion wellllllll Ok I can't wait to tell you anyhow. Go to <a href="http://www.fleetwoodfarms.com/">www.fleetwoodfarms.com</a> go to the Stallion page and check out<br />
Jaz Poco Goldun Blue, Now that is something to get excited about. <br />

I then went on to try a new blog on Wordpress...that was beyond my feeble skills, since all that stuff my old computer has died the death of millions of other obsolete computers and been reduced to the scrap pile. I have borrowed Dave's old Lap Top and today just decided to come in here and see if it would do anything and Lo and Behold here I am....so I don't know if it's a good thing or not but you all can now expect to hear more from....and hopefully I can put up some updated photos of all my favorite friends!!!!<br />

It has been some time since we've had any color in the sky at Sunrise but there was a bit this morning, sadly it is so dark where the buildings are that you can hardly see them. I couldn't figure out how to fix that .....soooo this is it. Anyhow East - Sunrise right......you'll see where I'm going with this.If you highlight the pic you can actually see the buildings... (they say there's more than one way to skin a cat)....who came up with that expression???<br />
<br />

<br />
So east again.... Sunset. I know how stupid that sounds but in this particular spot that is exactly what I get. These two pics were taken at about 6:00 pm Sat. the sun just about gone. The sun had been gone in the West for about an hour already....go figure.....hey confused yet!!!! You should try living here.<br />
Again..if you highlight the pic you will see a building or two.<br />

Cody!! What to do with Cody???Well I am posting this today because my arsenal is empty. As some of you know I brought home a Morgan colt at the end of Dec.<br />
( still waiting for parts- to geld)<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/86235457@N04/8456613942/" title="027 by JaniceTighe, on Flickr"><img alt="027" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8532/8456613942_998937f4ec.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
He is mostly a nice fellow however now that he has been here for awhile I am finding things I really don't like about him. Cody is a chewer he is like the kid that puts everything up his nose...only in this case he puts everything in his mouth ...including me, he is chewing the crap out of the fences. Cody treats me like I'm another horse he continually tries to bite and shove into me ....just how he is with Jazz...he totally does not get the human... I'm the boss thing...at this point he is not biting to be mean and he has not actually got a hold of any skin...yet.....but you can't turn your back on him, he has managed to grasp my coat sleeve a few times but I'm usually prepared for him. Cody has the attention span of a gnat ....or who knows maybe a gnat has more than him....whatever he is becoming a pain in my ass. I don't have the time or patience to play along with him.... I need him to get with the program.Cody is good for haltering and leading......well mostly, he no longer tries to eat the halter when it goes on...he has no problem accepting it. When leading he spends all his time trying to get the lead rope in his mouth so there is a lot of head tossing and other strange things ....in an attempt to get it into his mouth.... also trying to bite the other horse thus making it a pain to get from point A to B. I have tried everything I know to change his behavior ...to no avail. In an attempt to stay off his head I have resorted to this.<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/86235457@N04/8455586253/" title="IMG_0880 by JaniceTighe, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0880" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8521/8455586253_42d6a7066c.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
Cody accepts the muzzle just as readily as he does the halter...after a few lessons.... he has quit trying to eat it when it goes over his mouth. he stands well for removal...also took a few lessons... but he is good now. He can no longer bite other horses being led beside him...which makes for a much easier time of getting where I need to go.<br />
Cody still spends a lot of time trying to chew the muzzle so there is still a lot of head tossing and trying to get his mouth on the ground and he is still trying to get a hold on the lead rope....the good thing though is he can't get a hold of me....doesn't stop him from trying . After he gets in trouble a few times he will pay attention and then he settles in and is easy to deal with. If any of you have suggestions on a different way to deal with this colt please share them.<br />
