No Bones About It!

Hello everyone!

With spring in the air, I’ve been hard at work shedding my fur-coat in anticipation for the warmer weather.  My owner affectionately refers to this joyous time as “Shedgate”, “Shedmageddon”, and “Tshedami” among other satires.  

So I wanted to let you all know that I met another equine friend the other day that doesn’t shed at all!  He was tall, white, a little frail looking, and rather quiet…in fact, I would say he was even a little “stiff”!  Ok, ok, enough with the jokes.  Last week, the Equine Science Center welcomed the newest member to its research herd, and trust me when I tell you, he certainly stands out!  The newest addition is stabled in the Round House right now, mounted to a wooden based with full support…did I mention he’s a skeleton?!

Straight From the Horse's Mouse

Howdy friends,

In addition to eating and napping (and blogging, of course!), I do a lot of thinking.  Especially in my old age, I realize that there are many things I have to be thankful for; green grass to eat, fresh water to drink, good friends, caretakers who give me lots of attention and love, and a computer on which to keep in touch with my loyal fans; I have a large following!  So as I was browsing the web the other day, I came across one of those horse classified websites and began poking around.  I read about a number of horses that are for sale and the skills they posses, and boy was I impressed!  I don’t think my owner is looking to sell me anytime soon, but if he did, I think a horse that blogs is pretty marketable!  My friends at the Equine Science Center realize that horse promotion and marketability are hot topics in the equine industry, and plan to offer a webinar explaining the best methods of going about it!  You won’t want to miss it!

Life is (not) Like a Box of Chocolates!

Valentine’s Day is almost here, and I’ve been racking my brain on what to get my girlfriend Hugme Christi to show my affections.  She’s the best pasture-mate I could ask for; always there to look over me while I take my afternoon naps, graze by my side, and help me get the flies off any hard to reach places.  Not only is she my special someone, but my best friend as well, so it’s only fitting to get her something special to show her how much I care!  I was talking to my buddy Could Be Magic about it and I told him I was thinking about getting her a big box of chocolates after seeing how much humans enjoy them.  Magic said it wasn’t one of my best ideas; although horses can eat chocolate in small amounts, a big box can have serious consequences.  I was so surprised!
