MY CBER boys

[wildwoman]

There seems to be a renewal of interest in keeping updated-that is so cool! Since I love looking at other peoples-I thought I'd chime in here with my update as well.
I got an Arab gelding George, and an Appy gelding Leo, Aug 05. Neither were posted on the website-(I think the arab may have been for a half an hour?)
Leo had a couple shoes on overgrown feet-so he was lameish when I got him-and attributed it to overwork on long feet-who knows-long story short-he has had intermittent lameness issues with no certain diagnosis. He was rehomed for 3 years and I got him back again this March. He is in LOVE with my TB and is mostly a pasture puff-I think we have saddled him two or 3 times to leadline, once for hubby to ride (lasted half hour and got walked back) Leo IS, quite simply THE HANDSOMEST horse in the Universe! Currently getting ground flax and ani-motion along with his feed, just blew out an abcess, and he's barefoot, farrier is gonna try some shoes/pads when he comes next time in 3 weeks. Wish us luck-if anyone has any ideas-I'd love to hear it.


George was a case of "the truck is coming!!the truck is coming!!" when I went to see Leo-so of course he came home too. George came with his papers ("Protege VE")-I've always been tempted to contact his previous owner to ask if she knew where he was headded. George is the sweetest horse and is my new hubby's horse-George will go as slllllooooowwwww as you let him-and hubby is fine with that-they PERFECT for each other-not great for impatient ol ME when I wanna go on a trail ride and hubby decides to join...oh well. George on rt on third pic from top

and with my dad in the back (of course!)

I got Little Joe June 06-he came off the rez at about 18 months ("Saxon") He IS THE COOLEST FRIKKIN HORSE EVERRRRRR
I LOVE this guy. OMG. Ok so 'people' (new poeple) are NOT his thing but he will climb over anything you point him at on the trail. But-you run across someone dressed funny or say-trail running-ummm yeah...... another story. I took things very slow with him and we are having a blast. Mostly I ride him-but I've had my daughter on him a few times and they get along well too. We are pretty casual-trailriders-but I took him to a show and we got 5th in trail class-who-hoo!



And...
The red TB in a couple of the pics above was NOT a CBER horse-but I saw a listing for "Home needed asap" on here-so you guys get some credit forthat one too!

My life in a nutshell-
OK who is next to report in???
WW
oh and Tockita-I asked about Dyna's origin cause I thought I remembered her-Joe came off the range- Rez near Toppenish-and nope-never got a BOS either.

oh and just to clarify-in the above pic with my hubby leading my niece and nephew-the bay is our 31 year old with my 7 year old niece aboard-perfect match there.
Here is Little Joe at the feedlot

Great pics, I met your Leo once, when he was at Geri's, a few years ago. I got a craigslist Leo myself a year ago,he is the first gelding I've owned, and I love geldings now. Also I still have the PEC rescue Dixie.



Dixie

I LOVE geldings-no hormone issues! One personality all the time.
Your two look cute! I wonder where the other PEC rescues ended up?
My Leo has had issues with his front legs/feet off and on for years-and we can't really get a handle on where it is actually coming from, radiographs don't indicate any specific areas of concern-and the lameness comes and goes. Ideas anyone? Everything from tender soles to tendon issues-sometimes it looks like it is clear up in stiff shoulders the way he walks.

Here are some current pictures of CBER Flame, now Mai Tai.

AWESOME! It's great to see other survivors of that whole ordeal.
what kind of boots do you use? That one pic looks like Taylor Mountain?? Are you home yet? When is the next ACTHA ride?

[jtjedi]

The boots are Easyboot Grips with the new gator. Yes, those pictures are from Taylor, Danville and Buck Creek.

I will be home sooner than you think! And YES, there will be another ACTHA ride or two before years end!
