Horse Sense....

 

                 

 

So we got down to 2 eggs!

I went all over Google to find out what other peeps had done, and the most common solution was leave the chickies in their house until they lay, until 2 or 3pm.

I got until 10am.

Then realized the whole point of me having free range chickies was so that they could roam round the place, and I got freshly laid, stress free eggs.

Back to the drawing board.

Next option was putting up a chickie fence.

I was only looking at that as a temporary situation but you know, again, the free range issue came up.

So then I called some of my chickie mates to see their take on things and...wait for it....it came down to food.

In fact, just about everything to do with horses, humans and chickies comes down to food.  If the tummy is out, the head will be out and you will get physical symptoms.  

Or issues.

So I gave them Premium Cat Food - Lamb in gravy and also Salmon and they absolutely loved it!  

Like L.O.V.E.D

If you're not getting results, go back to food.

We are literally just hanging out in the sunshine, napping, rejuvenating and recharging.

I need to just briefly talk about something here, because Spirit have tapped me on the shoulder and said I need to speak about this, so here goes:

I often get asked, Why is my horse suddenly different?

First - check food. 

The more I live, the more I know that what you put into your body makes a huge difference.

And not to bang on Doctors, but it's not about eat this kind of food or that kind of food. 

It comes down to your own personal and unique body at this point in time.

This is my Number 1 rule for both humans and horses.

Food first.

However, if you have gone back to basics re your horse and are still not getting resutls, then next look at the person responsible.

I have found, to more than one person's upset, that a horse can tell when their person is doing drugs, the illegal kind, and then said horse starts losing it's shite.

Apparently, for no reason. 

This, I have found though, is a very good reason.

I'm not saying this is what is happening with your horse, but what I am saying is this is what I have noticed. 

To be fair, I'm on the horses side, peeps that do lots of illegal drugs can't be trusted. 

And they smell different.

This is what the horse picks up on.

Sometimes the horse is freaking out because their person has just started trying drugs, and sometimes it is because their person has slipped and has done drugs again because, well, everyone else was doing them and they were lonely, or felt peer pressure.

Again, this is not the horses fault.  In fact, you should be getting on your knees and kissing the Blarney Stone that your horse tried to help you here.

You won't, you'll give it a smack and then get the Vet out. 

The same with a mare that won't hold a certain stallions baby.

They know the mix of the DNA is wrong and babiy's no good, so refuse to carry to term.

That's a smart mare and should be congratulated on being so onto it.

Again, no.  Just normally put back to same stallion, often with the same results.

I can relate to the mares though, because I'm a smell girl.

I've stood next to some very attractive men, who technically I should have felt seriously attracted to, but their underlying whiff was ugly.  There was something broken and wrong about them.

Yet other men, no matter whether they are wearing aftershave or not, make me want to tap them on the shoulder and go, Take me home...

Smell too, is a super power.

So that's been our week:

Hanging out in the sunshine, napping, rejuvenating and recharging, and giving you a quick 101 drug lecture.

Big kissy hugs 

Caps, me, Spirit, Az, Ralph, Chew, Suz, and of course, my beautiful Mumma Bear, Belle and Boo-ba-licious, Pat, Chuck, Rose, Petal, Kai-Anne, Pepper, Lily, Shelley, Ossie, Marmite and Geraldine.

* Was having a chat today and one of our NZ banks used to approve two mortgages a day.

In the last 8 weeks they have approved two.

** Mumma and I are full on Touch/play and Miri Miri and today's choice of music was our friend, Kenny R.

*** Food's pretty much the same. 

More peanut butter (got to be Pic's Smooth, the crunchy I'm like, Meh!), less egg yolks, slightly less M and M's, more bananas with Pam's Smooth Hazelnut Spread, same amount of avocado's, new add in's: jacket potatoes and coleslaw.

No salmon, no chicken, no red meat.

Honestly, it's the weirdest thing in the Universe.

**** No wait, I've got weirder:

So yesterday phone flies out of my hand, sommersaults like 6 times and smashes itself on concrete.   

Get a loan phone, which is Apple while I am Samsung, and I lose every single contact, plus apps and of course, every password.  Then Apple refuses to allow me to reset any app. I'm literally non-communicado.

But I can take calls.

But then, I get up this morning, go into the kitchen and I hear this weird ass whooshing sound coming from downstairs.

I go down, and the sound is getting louder.

The hose connected to the tub, next to the washing machine is running full tit, which was what was making the noise, but....wait for it....it hadn't flooded, nor wasted any water, it was just running full tit.

However, it could only have been turned on at the tap, which I NEVER leave on, I live by myself and no one had come over yesterday. 

I also hadn't been downstairs in almost 14 hours.

You know, y'all, when Spirit are this big, there's a reason.

***** Wait...wait...wait....still can't get my favorite horse food as...wait for it...snakes somehow got in and MAFS are refusing to release it.
