I had a date with the dreaded dentist today, the 4th May 2001. Don't you all out there just hate it when your mummy tells you you are seeing the dentist and you have no choice in the matter. He was really nice to me though, but then he always is. He may be a big fella, around 7ft tall or so (and that ain't no exxaggeration either, hes sooooooo tall he makes Caleesto look like a pit pony), but he is really gentle and I quite like him. Bill Price is his name and if you ever need your teeth done call him out. I stood like a lamb for him, and I'm sure he was relieved after he had just finished dealing with the Brat. And we all know who the brat is, silly Caleesto......
Hee Hee Hee, my mummy said I'm such a rascal. About 3 weeks ago she brought Caleesto and I a really lovely huge roll of hay, well not that lovely it was good inside but mummy had to remove the mouldy outer layer from it. Anyway its such a yummy yummy bale and mummy has put a fence up as she knows how we love to stand on the hay while we eat it. so we can't stand on it now. The back is cut off by a lovely wattle which today 16th May 2001, I found wasn't a barrier at all. My mummy came down and found me snuggly standing in the hay eating the lovely hay. I was smart though I snuck out while she was parking the car. The tree trunk is only just above my knees and is quite easy to climb over. But rude mummy has now put a timber barrier up behind the tree to stop me going in again. But don't worry mummy I will DEFINATELY find another way to get in to the hay, heee heee heee.
Silly Caleesto, she is too fat for a saddle now, so mummy had to get Horseland out to try and fit her with one of theirs. It was getting late when they came to try a saddle on, it was starting to thunder and there was lightning about. This was 13th June 2001. Mummy was riding to see how the saddle felt, and Caleesto was a bit scared of the weather so Danny's mummy got me out and lead me around next to Caleesto so she would feel braver. You should have seen the shiny sequences on Danny's mummies jumper, I just know they were put on there for me to eat, hee hee I grabbed them off before she could stop me, yummyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy in my tummyyyyyyyyy.
I had my feet done today 19th June 2001. Richie my farrier said to my mummy that I wont ever hurt him as we have an understanding. He told my mummy that the first horse he ever rode was a grey stallion called Condor. And I am only the second Condor her has ever met in his life so he likes me lots. Now I know why mummy couldn't register me as Condor in the EFA. Waaaaa because Richies Condor is registered with that name. I bet I'm better looking and smarter than the other Condor. I know I am I know I am, how dare he use my name without my permission.
Waaaaa where are they taking her. I wanna come too mummy. Boo hoo they took Caleesto off yesterday June 21st 2001 in the float and left me behind. I cried and cried and cried but they didn't stop and put me in with her. I ran around don't forget me mummy, I want to come too. I was soo soo soo sad, but I was soo soo soo happy when the float came back a few hours later and Caleesto was still in it. Yippy I knew you wouldn't take Caleesto away from me like Kate dissappeared. I'm sooooooooo happy again now.
I made my mummy cry today, August 18 2001. I am such a bad bad bad boy, well not really I just found the yum yum grass to eat, I didn't know mummy was going to come down and not be able to find me. We were in the laneway, me and Caleesto and behind the poo pile is some beautiful grass, all the poo has been heaped up by a tractor and there are bushy trees all around it. I squeezed past the trees behind the poo pile to get the yummy grass. Mummy walked up to the back of the laneway looking for me then thought I had somehow escaped and she wasn't going to ever see me again. My grandma went next door to ask them if they had seen me, she thought I had somehow snuck into Splash's paddock then wandered out onto the road and off . Luckily mummy spotted me through the trees and all was well again as she rushed down to see me. It was such yummy grass though.
The nails looked so so yummy. today August 19th 2001, Mummy was fixing the fence and as I wandered by I sniffed at the nails, before grabbing a few in my mouth, mummy rushed over and forced my mouth open, but dont worry mummy they were horrible and I spat them all out before you got to me, I wouldn't eat nails, I'm not silly.
Me and Caleesto made our mummy cry today, August 27th 2001. She got down to feed us in the afternoon and we had gotton into the front paddock where only 2 days before mummy had sprayed poisons. She had forgotten to lock the gate when she went through to give us her hay and we spent all day in there. Mummy don't worry we didn't eat any of the spray. Mummy rang the vet and they told her to ring the poison information line on the label of the tin so she did. They told her that it wasn't enough to effect us in anyway, and what water to poison ratio she had used had diluted the poison and that it wasn't as poisonous as she thought. And as she had only spot sprayes, the small amount sprayed wasn't enough to do any harm. They said that for it to affect you you would have to drink atleast one cup straight for the affects to happen. Mummy learnt one lesson out of this, she will never forget to lock a gate again. Boo hoo the grass was so so so yummy in there tooo.
I felt so sick today, 28th September 2001. My mummy found me in my shed having a snooze. I didn't feel like dinner and when I refused to eat it my mummy got the vet out. It was the silly women vet who came out Duh Duh, but she seems to have learnt alot since she went out to caleesto years ago. She told my mummy that I had a virus. My temperature was up a degree on normal temperatures. She gave me some penicillin and then oiled me as my tummy was quiet aswell. I was feeling so much better the next day, except yucky mummy no more needles I'm not a pin cushion. I have to have needles for the next few days.
Oh noooo my poor poor sore feet. three of them have swollen up like balloons booooooo hoooooo. 2 days after the last visit to the vet mummy got the vet out again, 1st October 2001. I had three swollen pasterns and my mummy was so worried I was having an allergic reaction to the penicillin. the vet from last Friday, Duh Duh, was supposed to come out, then got busy and then they couldn't find wally wanka to come out and look at me. Doesn't anyone wanna see me. Eventually at 7pm and getting dark Duh Duh arrived as they had eventually found Wally Wanka but he was further away than Duh Duh. She looked at my poor feet an said its probably an after affect of my virus. It wasn't an allergic reaction as penicillin doesnt cause that kind of reaction, but then different horses react in different ways. I was another pin cushion that night with 5 needles, waaaaaaaaaa. Duh Duh took blood tests and gave me the last of the penicillin and gave me some bute (pain killers), and if my feet didnt go down then she was going to send the blood away to test. Luckily my feet started to go down by the next morning and the day after they were back to normal. If they had still been up Duh duh was going to send the tests away to look for liver damage, hey girlie my liver ain't damaged, so there. But she was such a good vet this time around, maybe she will be an even better vet next time I need her!!!!!
Today friday 26th October, my silly mummy locked her keys in the feed shed, so while I watched her she had to pull the boards off the window that she smashed last year and then climb in through it to get her keys. She then had to climb out again. Isn't she silly.
Today 24th January 2002, after mummy let me and Caleesto outta the yard to walk to our paddock, Caleesto decided to go fast so I charged after her. We charged through the gate into our paddock and I forgot to stop and skidded into the electric tape fence. I broke the tope strand (Its easy to break) and I was stuck in the bottom strand. Caleesto helped me out by charging through and twanging the bottom strand breaking it with her force in about 5 different places. The grass we got into was yummy but mummy and our grandpa caught us (my grandpa caught me) and put us back into our paddock and fixed the fence up. I know we were silly, but we love our little races and I know I will beat Caleesto one day!!!!!
Man it was so exciting today 27th March 2001 guys, I was hungrily eating my yummy hay when I heard this strange cracking noise. I looked over into Splash's paddock and watched with facination when his huge tree slowly started to move, it then came down with a huge crash. I jumped in fear, but quickly looked brave again so that Caleesto wouldn't know I was scared.
Poor Poor Carly, my mummy's niece. I love my niece she calls me daddy and Caleesto her mummy. I was giving her a ride, my mummy was lunging me while Carly sat on me bareback. I was trotting away lazily doing as little work as possible, when I don't know what it was but something scared me, I charged into a fast canter, and Carly was only holding on with one had and well she wasn't holdong on for long, she did a completer back flip over my rump and landed with a thud on the ground. Poor Poor Carly.
Hurry up mummy, I'm waiting, get me out!!!!! I got stuck today 17th May 2002 in the silly fence. I just want to go and visit Ollie, Moppy and Bella. Bella is a pretty mare, but not as cute as Caleesto. Anyway The fence was only tummy height and I looked at it and I thought, well why not I can climb through anything, I have in the past many times gone through impossible fences. I got half way over the fence but waaa I can't get my hind legs over the fence, and waaaaaa I can't get back into my paddock, I'm stuck HELPPPP!!!!! Mummy came out when the dentist arrived and she found me and then got some wire cutters and cut the fence so I could get out, Phew safe at last. I wont try that again in a hurry, I try to climb a fence and I'm punished with the dentist doing my teeth, waaa I hate having the dentist out, don't all you guys aswell????? I will be a good boy now, well for awhile anyway, I WILL get into that paddock with Ollie oneday, I KNOW I WILL!!!!!
Well a week later May 24 2002, I tried to get into the paddock with Ollie and his big buddies again. Once again I failed to get in there I just managed to get stuck between the fence and a tree amongst the old fence that used to be up there, I waited patiently and my mummy can out and once again I had to be cut out of the fence and the tree this time. Photo taken of the place where I was stuck will be put in pic archive when developed
While on the subject of fences, mummy moved us to the middle paddock, we have three paddocks, the front one is about 2 acres, the middle one about an acre and the back one and the laneway make up the rest of the 5 acres we live on, In our middle paddock at one side is where the fruit trees were planted, they are fenced of from us so we cant eat all the nice fruit. There are passionfruit vines along the front of the fence sow about 2 metres off the fence mummy always puts up a make shift fence as Caleesto does love passionfruit. Well there is such yummy grass in there so through the fence i went this was on 7th June 2002, I went through the wrong end so I had to climb ober a heap of fence posts to get to the yummy grass, and how does my mummy know where I got in, well becaused I did poo's on both sides of the fence posts that are there waiting to be put into the ground somewhere.
I was such a cheeky devil today 27th June 2002 my mummy was riding me around the jumping paddock and jumping me over the jumps, did I ever tell you all how much i LOVEEEEEEE jumping. silly Caleesto was careering around with me having fun when she stopped in front of me. I couldn't help myself, you see Claeesto is in season at the moment, well I tried to mount her while mummy was still on my back. Mummy quickly pulled me away from her, waaaaaaa I don't want to be pulled away, no fair.
Caleesto doesn't love me any more. today the 16th July 2002 I tried to mount her again as she has been in season for the past week. Waaaaaaaa she kicked me in the chest really hard the ran away. She then turned around and charged past me kicking out at me again. I don't think she is in season anymore waaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
It was so scary last night 19th July 2002, the wind was ferocious it was like a cyclone was trying to blow us away. The roof of our shed tried its darndest to blow off never to be seen again and next door's shed roof flew into our back paddock at a thousand miles an hour. I told Caleesto we had to stand out in the open and we huried out from the trees and it was a good thing we did as tree's were falling down left, right and center. I was so brave though I had to make Caleesto feel safe, I was a great big strong anchor for Claeesto last night.
Mummy told me off today. She found us in the lush grass that we werent supposed to go itno for another week. I told mummy that it was Caleesto who broke the fence I said that I tried to stop her but Caleesto just ignored me. Really mummy I didn't do it I tell you mummy it was Caleesto. Waa mummy wouldn't believe me. She just looked at me and said what do you call that. I looked down, ooppsss I had the fence attatched to me still. Hey I have been Framed!!!!!.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO 22 TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, you guessed it tis my birthday 1st August 2002.
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I saw the scariest thing today 24th August 2002. It was on the back on my grandpa's car. It was big with 2 huge wheels and long sticks out the front. Even scarier it moved, my mummy and grandpa pulled it along. I whooshed over to Caleesto, I figured she would need to protect me. My mummy told me it was Caleesto's new Jinker. What the hell is a jinker Caleesto?????
So Close!!! Oh so close. I will get that annoying puppy if it is the last thing I ever do, just when I was starting to like her wham grrrrrrrrrrr or neigghhhhhhhhh in my case. All was peaceful today 30th August 2002 then whoosh that annoying puppy Shelley decided that Caleesto and I looked good to run around and around and around she was trying to make us run so run I did straight at her I flew at her in a canter striking my front feet out at her with every canter stride. She turned tail and took off with me hot on her heels, take that ..... and that ...... you annoying little puppy. Waaaaa she snuck under the fence, oh well I will get her next time especially as after Caleesto flew by me I charged off after Caleesto and that bratty little puppy came back in to the paddock and ran after us grrrrrrrrrrrrr how dare she!!!! Next time Shelley puppy just you wait!!!!!
I was a cheeky boy today 22nd September 2002. My mummy called me cheeky, we have been in the back paddock eating lots of yummy grass and mummy has split the paddock in half so we can eat the first yummy grass then she will open it up for the rest of the yummy yummy yummy grass. We have eaten out the first half and mummy said one more day and she will open it as there is still plenty of grass in the first half but it isnt so yummy now, so I snuck through the fence when no one was looking. Mummy caught me and we got put in the backyard where there is plenty of grass though not as yummy as the grass in the other section that is going to be opened up tonight. I snuck out of the backyard but mummy saw me heading over to the fence where I had snuck through earlier and she came out and stopped me. She put me back in the backyard with Caleesto and closed the gate, ohwell the grass in here is yummy yummy yummy aswell. I cant wait until tomorrow when I get lots of yummy yummy grass.
Waaaa I am in mummy's bad books today 27th September 2002, sob sob sniff sniff. I know I dhouldnt have done it but I did and now I wish I hadn't. As Benny was trying to pass me (Benny is the fat little old doggie, there is a pic of him in my picture archive." Anyway as he was passing me I suddenly didn't want him in my paddock so I jumped at him striking out with my front feet. I clobbered him on the back with my hoof. Mummy came over in an instant and growled at my and gave me a hard smack. I am sorry mummy please don't hate me please I don't want you to hate me. waaaaaaaaa I won't do it again, (Hmmm well maybe I will.) Mummy says I am just a grumpy old man. grrrrrrr.
Mummy got the farrier out to look at my hind foot this morning 2nd October 2002. I have been a bit stiff and sore in the back and I was resting it alot so mummy asked if he could come out and check me incase I had an absess starting. Luckily mummy found out I was ok and it was only my arthritis playing up. Sheesh mummy I could have told you that if you had only asked me.
YUMMMMMMMM I thought I would write this in the color of the grass we are eating at this very moment. Today the 13th October 2002 mummy put us into our front paddock, the grass is so lush and delicious it goes halfway up to our knees and on the hill it reaches our knees and higher in places, I am in horsey heaven.
My poor poor glands are swollen at the moment. Mummy saw they were up today the 24th October 2002 when I was having my feet done by the farrier. Mummy will keep an eye on me but I am not sick I just have the start of a little cold. Mummy then found Caleesto's were up a teeny bit so she ckecked Ollie's mum who arrived in her paddock next door to us two days ago and her glands are up too so mummy reckons that Ollies mummy has given us a cold. They are alsays making us sick grrrrrr.
Waaaaaaaaa who ever inventer the electric fence should be kicked to death. I love it when mummy puts us in the front yard with all the lush yummy grass, she tapes off the little flower bed though and today 10th November 2002 I decided to climb through the electric tap and get on the other side of it so bad mummy electrified the tape and when I touched it again bit me HARD OWWWWWWWWWWW waaaaaaaaa, boo hoo ohwell Caleesto tipped mummys molasses over and I got yummy molasses as a treat. mmmmmmmmmm
I was nearly squashed my my nana's car today 15th November 2002. Mummy and I were taking our usual gallop up the driveway, I love my gallops up there I go from one end all the way to the other end of the drive, it is soooooo coooolllll suddenly my nana drove around the corner as we were galloping, mummy couldn't stop me as I didn't want to stop I love my gallop and we scooted around her and just kept going, I wasn't gonna stop til I reached the other end, noooooo wayyyy wooo hooo YIPPYYYYYYYY!!!!!
I have two things to tell everyone today the 29th November 2002. The first is that I have 2 girlfriends. I still have the lovely Caleesto and now Ollie's mummy is back in her paddock and she loves me lots, whenever I move out of her site she neighs and runs up and down and all around in her paddock. As soon as she sees me coming in for dinner of a night time she is at the fence in two seconds flat.
Also today mummy said she was glad she was riding me and not Caleesto. Next door has two HUGE doggies, a german sheppard and a huge black beast and they were chasing rabbits in their paddock while mummy was riding me around the laneway, the rabbit flew into the laneway at a million miles an hour, and a couple of seconds later the two dogs flew at me chasing the rabbit, they came out of the bushes and straight at me, when they spotted me they stopped and then turned and ran back into their paddock, only to run out past my back legs after another rabbit. Then the black beast stopped dead behind me so mummy backed me up a couple of steps and that doggie soon high-tailed it back to his place. Mummy reckons any other horsie would have flown too, but in the opposite direction in a blind panic, but not me I stood my ground with those doggies and they soon went back into their paddock.
Mummy was cross with me today the 16th December 2002 as when she was riding Caleesto around I tried to mount caleesto as silly Caleesto is in season at the moment. Mummy was glad that Caleesto kicked out at me to get me away of I would have been sitting up on Caleesto with mummy. hee hee.
Mummy took me for a ride today 19th December 2002, and when I started to trot I was limping a little, I was ok in the walk, but mummy picked up my little lameness at the trot so she hopped off and took me over to the lunging area and got me to trot around so she could have a look. I am a bit sore on my front leg, mummy thinks I did it when we were walking around and I tripped twice in a hole. But mummy is going to get the farrier to look when he is doing my feet tomorrow incase. Mummy looks at my tum tum and wonders how I could be such a porker in the drought. Well we have a huge green green green roll of hay in the paddock which we eat 24 hours a day and now cus it is so dry and the grass in our back paddock is starting to die, she has put us in there during the day to eat it before it becomes a waste of grazing. Mummy was hoping to keep that grass until after we had finished the roll of hay but by then there would be no green grass in the back paddock only dead grass, but the way our front paddock is starting to grow back we will have the front paddock to eat in by the time we eat the back paddock and the roll of hay, but yippy lush green knee high grass during the day and we were getting the hay to eat of a night but now mummy is talking of locking us both up in the fat yard as both me and Caleesto have become real porkers and mummy is rolling us from paddock to paddock.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa rude Mr Plant cut my poor tootsies back too far and i am sore sore sore. Mummy got me outta the paddock on the 25th December 2002 for a chrissy ride and I didn't know which leg to stand on waaaaaaaaaa, mummy knew I had been cut too far back though for a short while she ponered on maybe me having laminitis from the grass and hay I have been getting 24 hours a day, but then she knew that it was too much of a coincidence with my feet being trimmed so mummy put me on bute and I have had 2 butes a day the past few days and finally today the 29th December 2002 my feet arent so sore now and mummy has dropped me back to one bute a day now, soon I will be all better and able to go for my late chrissy ride. It's not fair as Mr Plant did a good job on Caleesto's feet, waaaaaaaaaaa.
Well guys I am nearly better now and mummy is going to start riding me again tomorrow 5th Jan 2003, poor mummy goes on holidays and I get sore and when her holidays are over and she has to go back to work I get all better, I am a silly boy but thats not the reason I am writing in here I am writing about yesterday 3rd Jan 2003 when another cart arrived at our place :O Well it is actually called a Dray it is like a hay cart used in the olden days and still they use them nowdays. Silly Caleesto got scared and ran away from it but I didnt I like Drays and jinkers, I think I should be the harness horsey now Caleesto. She is adament that it is hers but I don't think it is. She is just a silly goose.
Mummy saddled me up today and we had another walk around, mummy is only walking me as I am still a tad sore in one front hoofie. Mummy doesnt know if it was the farrier or she thinks I may have gotten a touch of laminitis from all the yummy green hay we have been pigging out on lately, so we only walked as I am nearly better. We walked part way along the creek and then turned and walked home, I was so happy to see Caleesto again that when mummy put me in the paddock with her we had a big long grooming session. Caleesto grooms much better than mummy does, well mummy doesn't think so but us horses are all better groomers than our mummies could ever be.
Mummy told me today I am a cheeky boy. My feet were feeling all better today 16th January 2003 and I wanted to go lots faster than I usually do. Mummy knew as soon as she got on me that I was better as I didnt plod like I usually do but I did a fast walk. Then we trotted around the laneway after I pulled mummy over to Splash to say hello to him. Me and Splash are best friends did you all know that. After we trotted mummy could tell I wanted to go faster so we went into the jumping paddock and trotted around. When I got to the corner I said come on mummy lets go, mummy say no not yet and I said yes, yes, yes and started bucking madly frying to go into a gallop. Mummy growled at me and said No not yet and stop being cheeky but I really really wanted to go and threw my head all around excitedly. Finally mummy said ok lets go and I did a massive buck and off we went madly around the paddock. Then mummy took me back into the laneway and when we got to the front gate and she turned me I flung my head all around again saying lets go and started bucking, mummy let me go and off we flew again, it was lots of fun.
