this, that 'n' the other...

Ready for some insanity? Sectioned for your reading ease. ;)Mom took SB to the chiro for me as I was supposed to work tonight (but that's a whole nuther story). Mom said that SB was out in the 8th vertibre up from his hips, his withers, his left shoulder and a rib. Immediately afterwards, Mom walked him out and SB was stretching his legs out and really going, she said he had this look of "OMG, that feels goooood" The chiro said to let him rest tomorrow and on Friday PM to take him out for a easy ride and see how he does. As long as he does ok Friday, he should be good to go. He's a human chiro but will work on horses under a vet's supervision. Yesterday, SB went to the vet to rule out lameness issues in his legs. Vet said his legs are fine and was particularly impressed with his hocks. He pulled his hind leg up tight and held it for what seemed like forever to me... and then had him trot off right away. He remarked that it "Definitely isn't his hocks, he didn't even gimp on the first stride." He seemed pleased about that. lolTotal for the vet visit: $45Total for Chiro adjustment: $25On more horse news.... Treasure and Echo are scheduled to go to their new home in Nebraska. They'll be in a great home, my friend's are buying them. They innitially came out to look at Treasure a few weeks ago and loved her... but they also fell in love with Echo, which is SB and Sky's red roan filly. (They also own a SB baby born this year, they bred their mare to him and they adore her!) So anyway, Friday, we're going to meet them 1/2 way with them. I'm going to miss them both! Today, I went to Hays and got a massage. My back, neck, and shoulders were just wrecked from work. It was about 1:30pm when I left the massage place and I was exhausted. I had been awake since 7pm yesterday and there was no way I could make it home. So, I went to my buddy Gauger's place and crashed in his room while he went to see his mom. About 7pm, I woke up and headed for the farm so I could get my stuff and then drive to Ness for work.About 1 mile from the farm, I got stuck. Yep, my car is now sitting in the field road, sideways and axle deep in mud. What was really fun was the walk to the house... in the mud... in the rain... in the dark... (except for the brilliant flashes of lightning all around me) Of course, given the landscape, I was the tallest thing out there. Oh and I was wearing sandels. By the time I got to the house, I was panting, sweating, shivering, had 2 inches of mud stuck to the bottom of my sandels and had mud clear up my legs. I was wearing shorts too, which is not normal for me.I was not amused.
