I'm Getting Gray Hair

My 5 horses are making me gray! I moved Spook in between the 2 other Thoroughbreds and what a mistake that has been! All she wants to do is fight with both of them. She kicks the panels and has them all dented up! So I'm moving her back into her old corral as soon as it warms up a bit more. Horses... what a major headache! LOL!

We had beautiful weather this past weekend. I had another near horse disaster though. I decided to see how Ebony would do with a saddle back on... she's the one that I fell off of about 6 weeks ago and she ran off with the saddle upside down!

Anyway, I spent a few hours working with her on the ground and just as I was about to remove the saddle, my sister showed up and told me that I didn't have her tied right to the hitching post, so she untied her and I told her she'd better tie her back up and she said"I've got her"... well as soon as I started to pull the saddle off (no easy task on a 17 hand high horse!)that set Ebony off and she pulled back and Brenda let go of the lead rope and off Ebony ran... like a bat out of hell!

She ended up falling into one of the other horses corrals and injured her leg! I couldn't believe it! Don told me that my sis and I are disasters when it comes to horses! Ain't it the truth! It's always something around here! I do pray that your life is uneventful compared to mine!

Wouldn't worry about it. I began to grow grey when I was 21. Distinguished grey ..

LOL about the gray hair comment. I guess it's better to be gray than it is to be bald! LOL!!
