Workouts aren't as strong or as consistant as they were, but getting back in the swing.

We are in the same boat here

Ended up going to bed around 9pm my time and slept good until about 330am then it was down hill. I tossed and turned becuase my head was pounding with a migraine and my neck was bothering me. I ended up putting freeze el on my forehead and neck every hour or so until I dragged my ass out of bed for work. My morning coffee helped and then the headache gradually went away.
Glad it finally went away...too bad u havd to endure any of it to begin with

However, remember I said .....Well I didn't hit the lottery:( , however I saw the filly this morning and she gave me the "look" and I was done for. :laugh: I made a couple of calls, one of which was to the owner of the filly, and negotiations are back on. The owner has dropped the price down because he wants me to have the filly. Now I just need to wait for a return call from one farm that may be able to cut me a good deal on boarding the filly. If that falls out, then I have a second farm that will take her just at a slightly high monthly rate. I even spoke to a farm that has an indoor arena and they will let me ship in whenever I want to ride in the indoor (can't board at the farm with the indoor because they are full). Called my mom and she is going into my horsey stuff that I have in storage in NJ and she will be sending me some things I will need for the filly. Mom is not completely happy that I'm pursueing buying a horse because she knows that at times money can get tight for me. :shrug: However, Mom does know that horses make me very happy. ;)

So now the next couple of days will be trying to get the best monthly deal possible and getting my trailer out of storage as well as getting budget in order. I'm also praying that I'm not making a big mistake.

Haven't gotten her yet, but made a call today to make some funds available. Plus now I'm on the hunt for a replacement tire for my horse trailer and tomorrow I hope to get my trailer over to have a bad tire switched out with the spare. If, If things go as I hope....I may take the plunge by the weekend.
 
wahoo!
You need some fun and joy in your life! Let's get this done!
 
if have to...move out of apartment..get a better stall and move in with her... :D

:laugh:

Some of the farms and stall around here are nicer than some apartments. However, I won't go that far.

If our schedule at work goes as planned, I am going to have her checked out tomorrow to make sure she is sound with no injuries from the track. I will try to get a couple pics of her then too.
 
Finally made it to the gym today and had a good workout. Didn't get to work my chest as much as I would have liked, but the gym was crowded. I got in the exercises, but didn't go as heavy as I would have liked. :shrug:

Status on buying the horse....My horse trailer should be good to go since I had it worked on today. I needed a tire rotated out on my trailer and my trailer requires a tires that usual can only be found at a commercial truck tire so off I went today. Let me tell you how much fun that was being the only woman with a big trailer among the men with their big rigs :rolleyes: I know I have one farm for sure that has room and that I can afford. There may be a second farm, but I won't know until sometime tomorrow if I can afford it. Tomorrow morning I'm having the filly looked out to make sure she does not have any injuries from the race track and to make sure she is healthy. If all goes well I will buy her and move her on saturday to her new home.

If...If I do buy her, time and budget management will be crucial. I will have to get up early so I can feed and care for the filly before going into work. Then after work I will go to the farm and either work on retraining the filly or just spend "quality time" with her. On the "quality time" nights I hope to be able to hit the gym for a workout. Factor in sleeping, eating, spending time with my dogs and life should be will non-stop :suicide: :laugh:

Wish me luck.....
 
Don't worry Dev, Burner will be here soon to offer to "workout" your chest for you.

Sounds like buying that horse would be sweet but an awful lot of stress would be involved. Isn't your life complicated enough right now ?

Stress? Yes and no. Yes because I will need to budget my time so that I can get enough sleep and get workouts in while working full time. No because working with the horse can be very relaxing as well as extremely rewarding. Think of it this way....She is a corvette that has been neglected badly (This filly while only 2 years old has been taught to race, but didn't do well at all and has been left to just hang out in a stall with little contact). You get her and strip her down to the basics and rebuild her (bath the filly to get all the dirt off, groom her till she shines and start to retrain her to be a riding horse, but have to start with the basics). In the end you have a shiny, sporty car that people envy (beautiful horse that shines and does well in the show ring).

Isn't it rewarding when you take something that someone has given up on and turn it into something beautiful ;)

:laugh:

More like whisper in her ear, "That could have been you. But no you had issues with the starting gate."
 
Updates....The vet did not find any problems with the filly :thumb: However, there was one little problem.....she has only been off the track for about 2 weeks, she is very fit and has not had any time outside of her stall so she is a bundle of energy waiting to explode. I have decided to buy her (I know surprise, surprise :laugh: ) I will be picking her up tomorrow morning and moving her to her new farm. Once at the new farm, if not sooner, she will be introduced to the wonderful world of sedation drugs ;) I know when she is turned loose in a small field she will be a hellion and could hurt herself unless I sedate her. She will be a huge project to retrain, but it will be so rewarding to make her into a successful show horse. Plus when I work her in hand, I will be getting an arm and leg workout and when I finally get on her I will be getting a leg workout ;)

I was not able to get any pics of the new girl today, but should have no problems getting pics tomorrow. Guess I should share the new girl's name which is Star Hill. A better name may turn out to be Star Hellion :laugh:
 
Ha ! I knew it! Congrats, girl!

wasn't there a movie that the animal was arfaind of the gate? Racing Stripes or something? Hey...Zebras have heart too!

Thanks. I moved her to her new home this morning.

Not sure about the movie. I will have to rent it one day and see.
 
hey happy horse owner!
How's you?
 
I'm doing good. I moved my new girl this morning and she settled in much better than I expected. I turned her loose in a small round pen to let her burn off some energy and to my surprise she did not need any sedation. It's really surprising she did not need sedation because she is truely hot off the track, her last race was at most just over 2 weeks ago (Oct 19th to be exact) and she has been stall bound since then. When I turned her loose this evening in a small paddock for the night, she handled that very wel too. However, she did not know what to make of the cows in the field next to her paddock. She has never seen cows before so she stood in a corner as far away from the cows as possible and snorted at them :laugh: Overall, she is a well behaved child and should take to retrain well. She does have some sores on one side from the saddle and girth that need to heal, but hopefully they will heal quickly. I took a couple pics. Sorry they aren't that great, but they are better than nothing. I hope to get some more tomorrow.

Thanks. She will look even more beautiful once I have gotten all the dust/dirt out of her coat. I would have liked to have given her a bath today, but it was too cold. Hopefully, if the weatherman is correct it wil be warm enough at the end of the week to give her a bath.
 
love to see the size of the tub for a horse... :)
Do they have whirl pool jets too?
:D

Hey Dev.... Congrats on the new addition! I don't know a damn thing about horses, but I love animals. I spend a good part of my day, exercising, training, walking, and in general entertaining a Golden Retriever, so I understand the commitment. I notice you tether your horse, and that is also a good technique for a dog. I'm curious though, the tether is very short. Stupid horse person here, do horses not need to lay down?

Thanks. The 'tether' is just a temporary thing so I could groom her and take pics of her. I tried to get pics of her free in the stall, but she kept walking towards me :laugh: When not working with her in the stall, she is free to move about and lay down if she so desires.

Actual she will either get a shower or a sponge bath. :p

They do have pools of all sizes for horses and yes some have whirl pool jets. ;) Some even have floats/rafts. Check out some of the pics Barbaro after his first surgery. He was recovered from anethesia in a raft in a pool at the U of PA.
