Saturday Morning May 2, 2009

Today the staff is leaving us to our own devices and heading out to Okeechobee to watch a buggy competition with the Florida Whips ( man-oh -man...... I mean mare-oh-mare , thats one scarey name)

I think that Nicky and I may be in for some serious trouble. Has anyone even asked us if we want to pull a wagon or buggy, No they haven't . You'd think from all this activity that we look like a matched set of draft horses or something !!!!!!

I am sending Frank ( the nose that knows ) with the camera again so that we can get the early scoop on what this is all about Now, on to more pleasant issues.
























I thought you would all enjoy pictures of my most beautiful self trying on the new saddle that the staff purchased for me. Because of my voluptuous figure a special saddle was necessary and I am so worth it . Please spend time to notice my dapples are showing on my rump. Someone please get me a mirror so that I can admire them too .

On the opposite side of the spectrum is Nicky's " new to you" saddle ( free from Craigslist ) . Since little Mr Scaredy may take off again at a moments notice the staff thought that once they healed up from the last fiasco they may try a saddle for a while. He is handsome in it though don't you think ladies ?

On a lighter note , I thought you may enjoy a picture of the true meaning of " the sisterhood" These two ladies hatched and now are raising this child together. It is not an unusual situation around here. This baby is a Chuck, If it has a pointy beak it is a Dicken.






We all enjoyed this wonder today. It may surprise you but we horses notice more than you think .

Last but not least, I am not one to disparage someone to their face but some body ought to tell Little Cat that her hunting technique leaves a great deal to be desired.

Love for now, Daisy

PROJECT DAY

What fun!!!! we haven't had a project day in a couple weeks. Here we are working at our assignments. Chili gets the wood and I am getting a tool from the wagon.



Fiona holds the groundskeepers arm up so he won't tire and Chili gets a lesson in using the drill.



Frank takes a break to whisper sweet nothings in Ali ear.



Fiona holding the clamp in place to steady the board.





Nicky thinks to himself " Hmmm, I wonder if one of these clamps would hold Joy on next time a monster attacks us?"




Me and Nicky finally get lunch break

Early Morning

Yesterday I posted a little video to show you how seriously we take our meal time. However not everybody around here seems to understand how important food is to us. Apparently ,being this is Sunday , the staff thought they could sleep in for a few minutes. You will see from this photo taken from the window of their sleeping quarters that we were not impressed with their idea. Fortunately for them, breakfast was then served immediately.
