11:47 am	rosey has found a home Thank you to Wendy and her husband for opening their hearts to my girl. I know you are the best choice for her. I hope in a year or two, when we get a place of our own I might be able to have horses. That is of course, if we are still together (Dave and I) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:36 pm	My Heart is Broken Rosey needs a new home. She needs someone where everyone in the family is crazy over her. My hubby is not a horse person, or an animal person period. He does not understand "the horse crazy thing" and due to this I am forced to find her a new home. I am willing to give her to the right home, but it has to be a GOOD HOME with references. Email christel.browning at gmail dot com for more info. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:21 pm	time for an update It has been too long since I have updated Roseys journal. I am getting ready to move her to another barn, Jubilee Stables. She will be cared for well, and hay and grain is included in my boarding fee, so that is awesome. I am super excited as the owner really knows her stuff, and was not turned off by the Standardbred part at all, in fact she boards the BIGGEST HORSE (also a Saddlebred) I have ever seen LOL. Rosey is getting very tall... and she is quite the pill! All I am sure from not being worked with every day, and I hope she will calm down a bit when I am working with her every couple of days. No recent photos.. I know.. shocking!! (Comment on this)

8:31 pm	some recent photos - weight gain Well, Rosey has gained some weight nicely. I would rather have her a bit on the heavy side before winter sets in. She loves being out in her pasture, but likes to go in at night for her grain. But when I go out in the morning she is READY to go outside again! Her rear left ankle has some odd swelling. I am guessing it is something to do with her fence accident.. wish I had more info on what had happened... hopefully it ends up not being serious.. I do not know what I will do if she goes lame on me.. :( Tomorrow I am HOPING to get to expand her pasture by a bit, though it might have to wait until next weekend... Ok, so here are some side by side weight shots.. (Comment on this)

5:54 pm	She is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rosey is finally finally here!!! More beautiful then I ever thought she would be too!! She rode home from WI in the trailer with her buddy, a stud colt named Junior, and a pretty little mare. Stefanie brought her home for me, safe and sound!! I am so happy. She was very freaked out when she first got here, because she was not weaned off her mom like she was supposed to be. When the other horses left, she really went nuts, even tried to jump her 6 foot stall gate almost with SUCCESS!! We had to run a strand of electric fence across the top, and she must know what the ticker of the fencer is because she never did try it again. I took her out in the later afternoon to work on a halter session with her.. she was not halter broke, or she was very stubborn. I worked with her for about an hour, and now I am proud to say she walks and trots on the lead line!! She got brushed by just about everyone I think. The boys (my bros) have taken a funny liking to her! Here are some pictures of Miss Rosey!!! Current Mood: excited (Comment on this)

8:05 pm	put up the pasture today Well, at least a small one, I do not want Rosey having full run of the back field right away. I made her a small pasture, double stranded electric fence. Pretty happy with the outcome of it, looks great. Dad helped me some. Yes, the doggy will be moved in the next day or two! This time next week, I will be feeding Rosey her bedtime food and stalling her for the night. I am SO excited! Only 7 more days! I mailed the hauler out the halter and lead for Rosey's trip, and important paperwork today :) Current Mood: happy! (Comment on this)

8:52 pm	bought some horsey stuff today!!!! Today, I bought horse stuff for the first time in years!!!!! Went and glanced around SLT in Petsmart in Lafayette, they did not have any cute color weanling halters, and I did not want to pay $20 for a black one. So I went to the tack store here in Monon and they had a pretty little purple one, which is awesome because Purple is the color I wanted to use for Rosey! Then Dave and I went to Rural King, and he bought her a leadline, a hoofpick, and a brush!!! :) DANG it feels nice to shop for horse tack/stuff again!!! :) Only 12 days until Rosey is here!! Current Mood: happy (Comment on this)

9:45 pm	Stall Day Today, I cleaned out the right side of dads big pole barn and got it horse safe. Then, I dug a hole for a post to go down about 2 and a half feet for the stall, of course the first 8 inches of that was rock hard road gravel packed down ugggg. Oh well, it was SO worth it. It is nice to know the blistered, slivered hands, sore arms and back, filth, and sweat is worth it is the end, all for Rosey!! Dad helped me on the stall, cutting the boards and stuff. We got all but the gate up, it looks really good and I will have to post some pictures of it later. Only 15 days until Rosey is here! Current Mood: dirty and sweaty (Comment on this)
