Someday...

I'll get some more pics up. Or a video. We've got this fantastic idea that includes duct-taping a camera to my hat so that everyone can watch as we feed fields and all that jazz. We actually tried it today (ask Connie for a picture of the get-up), but I pressed the record button one too many times and accidentally turned the thing off before we even got going. I was more than a little peeved when I found that out. We'll be trying again tomorrow or Thursday. We also want to try one with the camera attatched to a helmet as someone rides. It'd be pretty cool to go over some jumps, even if you (like me) haven't even gotten close to jumping. I do, however, leap tall buildings in a single bound, so that makes up for it, right? I thought so.

I smell like Pickle Barrel. Thought you might want to know that. While Connie was off galivanting at Swing class tonight, I was making sandwiches. Eew. Very little of what we offer there even looks like food any more. I think it's time for a new job. The hunt is gonna start pretty soon. Any suggestions?



Here's one pic, anyway. We can call this the first horsey profile for Epona...it's the only one that I can do without Connie's help, because pretty much only *she* knows most of her horses' stories. Soo...

Name: Cadence (Cady for short)
Age: 4-5ish
Breed: Quarter Horse (we think...she doesn't actually have papers or anything)
Color: Bay
Markings: None
Her Story: Connie went with me to look at her at a place in Manhattan back in October. I wasn't even thinking about buying a horse at the time because of my financial situation, which was incredibly lacking. But the Craigslist ad (yeah, Craigslist. Wierd, right?) listed her for only $250, so I decided to check it out. I'm glad we got her out of there, if only because we found at least ten nails laying on the ground while we were there. She was not a happy camper. Now, she's turning into Birdie (see pics in the previous post) in that she follows everyone and waits at the gate whenever she sees someone who might be carrying a treat. I blame this entirely on myself. I resorted to bribery while trying to catch her for the first time after she had been put out in the pasture. She's incredibly fond of horsey treats and will spend quite a bit of time licking hands just to make certain there isn't one there. Then she goes after pockets. So the bad news is that I've succesfully spoiled my horse. The good news is that I can catch her now, with relative ease.
Special Talents: She currently has none. Actually, she's learning how to Stay. But as we don't know how much training she's had, we're starting at the beginning. So, any talents she may have haven't shown up yet. I'll get back to you on that.
