Pet talk

I knew it would happen someday, but I didn’t think it would be so soon.  Its been over a year since I started this blog and my life has just gotten more than I can handle. 

Last fall I found Merlin.  Merlin is a 8 year old Hackney pony who was abused.  I got him with the thought that I would work with him to help him regain his confidence in the human race.  It has been a long winter but Merlin is making progress.  I guess I just didn’t realize how much effort would go into such small steps.

I still have my 2 other horses Magic and Mystic.  Magic is my most advanced show horse and the show season is quickly approaching.  Although he is already very well trained, he has been off all winter and needs some intensive work to get back into show ring shape.  Mystic is a long way from the show ring, but as with all driving horses he needs miles and miles of “practice” to become dependable. 

My day job is also demanding more and more over night travel.  My calendar looks like I am some sort of travelling salesman or something!

This week was the last straw.  I caught the flu and haven’t been off the couch for days.  It put me so far behind in my job, horses and finally the blog.  Something has to give and it is going to be the blog.

I have enjoyed my time here writing these blogs.  It was fun and something I am glad I tried.  I hope you have learned something and have gotten a chuckle or two.  I also hope to someday be back writing–if not in a blog, maybe in another form.  So I guess this really isn’t a good bye, just a break for now.  So with that I say:  “See ya later!”
