Clyde's Very Merry "Un" Birthday!

These 2 were not impressed that today we celebrated Clyde's Birthday.
If we ain't trail ridin'...
they ain't carin'.
Instead they took turns cuddling this pillow, with gusto.

Let's just say that Rosie was more than a little jealous that we weren't celebrating her birthday today.
Since both my horsey folk were rescues... we don't know their exact birthdays.
We know Clyde was born in 1993 but Rosie... we can only guess.
Because of this we celebrate Clyde's birthday on March 1st and Rosie's on April 1st.
Taking turns is good.
Rosie doesn't see it that way.

Clyde didn't get to celebrate yesterday due to the colic episode, so today is his very merry "un" birthday!
Barnmate Penny celebrated with us.
Penny is 28.
Girlfriend still looks good, no?

Clyde got a birthday apple pie, that he shared with his ladies.
He did, in fact, blow out all 18 candles.
I'm not positive but I believe he wished for no more vet visits!
And, that he might look as good as Penny when it's his 28th...

Raining and Pouring

Guess who's turn it is to give Mommy a coronary?
I'll give you a hint...

It starts with a "C"
and
ends with a "lyde!"

Nothing like a serious bout of colic, on his 18th birthday no less, to cause everyone to run around panicking!

For those of you keeping count, that's one deep penetrating flesh wound with eventual proud flesh, one incidence of choke and now colic... in less than a month.
3 emergency vet farm call bills.
Ferrier bill yesterday and regular farm call tomorrow for vaccinations.

But, if I weren't spending mad $$$ on my horses... what would I spend it on?
Who needs a trip to Tahiti anyway?
