How do I have so much time to post today?

You may be asking yourself!!! Well, Mad Dog motors, is working on the 4Runner and I caught a ride to the Internet cafe in the new lil mall, the old movie theatre place. AWESOME IDEA NAT and DEBBIE! I used to go to one closer to Mad Dog Motors so I could walk, but, it has no ac and it was about 102 in it the place the lastt time I sat there for 5.5 hours.

Here- ac but not freezing. Had a fabulous Pinapple Bananna slushie and oatmeal cookie for lunch from the new Paper Crane, met a few new ex pat folks and am not soaking-stinking-grossly wet!!!

Woohhoo! Good day.

Old injury-reinjured...The horse was not nearly as lame as you would think, but there will be no more hauling logs out of the jungle for sure.

Mennonite work

This is just down the road from us. The sawmills saw is powered by an 8 horse team on a wheel and several use the oxen teams to do heavy work. Its great to see this and be a teeny part of that culture. Many of the folks there in Barton Creek now come to me for Vet type questions. I keep telling them I am not a vet, but they like my help. But... cant help all of em thats for sure..

GRASS...AND GRASS...AND MORE GRASS!!!

Look close you will see Chuck in all of these, the grass is over ten feet high in areas. This is what happens when you to plant pasture and have 0 livestock...I see cows and goats and horses and a few lambs in our future.

We offered to let folks put there animals out on it, but everyone has pasture that is close enough to do it, or to far away to get the critters there.

We are going to be "sickle mowing" with a mennonite horse or ox team this week, Ill be sure to post those as well.

More Horse news

Well beside dealing with the Carriage Companies in Belize City, Trey and I are now producing a "Triple Crown of Endurance Racing" to cover the Holiday season. A 15 miler after Thanksgiving a 20 miler after Christmas and a 25 miler Valentines weekend. Besides 3 placings every race with trophies and cash, there will be a Grand Champion for over all combined points!

We are hoping that starting with a 15 will entice people to enter and are hoping to host a dog show or horse show as well. Wanted to do a mennonite buggy competition but they are to shy about being in the public eye...Darn it!

Need to get an advertising plan together and hit the streets soon to drum up sponsors, won't like that part much but it will need to be done.

I really hope it goes well, it seems to have people excited for sure.

Bauer

"Jack Bauer" a 14 month old Red male from Chetumal, really sweet personality and very smart. A very elegant style so it would be a great cross for our big girl...maybe next time...

News...

Well to start off, I got a horse!!! Imagine that, I tried, I really did. BUT...She is a yearling filly and a buckskin out of really good BZ lines. She is from John Roberson Sr. stock. The filly loves John and hates me~Im working on that... She won't be home for a while, we have a lot of work to do to be ready, so she is hanging out with the cows and trying to grow.
