Vet: Tooth Fairy

 February 28

Took Breezy and Bentley to the vet for their annual shots, teeth float and sheath cleaning. 

Breezy ended up having a cap tooth pulled. He also ended up with a reaction from the vaccines the next morning running a 103.4 fever, poor baby! He wasn’t feeling well, he had a short stride in his front legs and held his head/neck over to the side in a weird position. I had to go back to the vet to get him Banamine to reduce his fever. He is feeling so much better after one dose of meds, hopefully he will continue to improve.

Bentley ended up having 4 teeth pulled! He had 2 Wolfe teeth and 2 hook teeth removed, poor baby! He was absolutely fine the next morning, rearing and ready to go. Doctor said Bentley is most definitely a 3yo now.

Cleburne State Park

Feb 19-20

Cleburne SP site #46

 Dave and I had our first camping trip in the van together at Cleburne State Park on February 19-20. Dave cooked hot dogs over the campfire and we both roasted marshmallows. We hiked to the water falls and watched the sunset over the lake. Our campsite was right on the lake, the best campsite at the park. What a beautiful couple of days in the middle of February! We had a blast!

Breezy: Marine Lake

What a beautiful day at the lake yesterday.

 …. But we won’t be going back to this park, too many dang post in the way.

The Magical Glow

 What a GORGEOUS sunset!

Bentley & Breezy: Clearfork

Feb 12:

 Drove Bentley at Cleafork and he did AMAZING! When we got there, I didn’t even lounge him, all I did was tack up and away we went. He was so calm and only spooked once at a jogger who passed by really close to us. The baby strollers, bikers, and other joggers didn’t faze him at all. He didn’t even flinch walking by the dog park while dogs charged the fence line barking. He is going to be a great trail pony! It was windy and cold today, the high was only 52.

Drove Breezy at Clearfork and he did AMAZING too, but that is to be expected.

Bentley in the Hood

 Had a nice little drive with Bentley today, he is coming along so nicely!

Come late spring I will slowly start putting the miles on him, can’t wait! Now his training is more about getting him out to see different things and for me to figure out how he will react to his ever changing environment . He is taking everything in stride so far. He has a pretty good head on his shoulders, not a spooky horse at all.

Breezy: Press Cafe

 We ended up at Clearfork and had lunch at Press Cafe. 

7.75 miles!

Porsche

 We hosted the Porsche meet-up at our house yesterday. What a crazy fast drive with stunning cars and wonderful people!

Bentley - Mud Hole Park

 We went to Mud Hole Park today, commonly known as Rocky Creek, it was a complete mud hole disaster! Bentley kept looking at me like, “you can’t be serious!” I ground drove him through mud, mud holes, a river which I totally underestimated, and more mud. On a positive note: I did NOT get the van stuck in the mud while driving through the slop nor did I lose my short boot in the mud when I underestimated the muddy river, so that’s good. Luckily, Bentley did NOT poke his eye out on bush branches as he was trying to avoid the mud nor did he get cactus needles in his legs while avoiding the muddy river. So over all an aweful hike but Bentley did have a great mud training day!

Seriously Mom?!? ~Bentley

Breezy - Weatherford Rails to Trails

 A little chilly today, but with temps being 45-50 we didn’t get frost bite! Saw the big horse group, such a lovely group of ladies. Great trails, Cinde’s horse Duke had ants in his pants, he wanted to go and go FAST! We went about 8 miles today!

Us stopping for a passing train.
What does any good horse mom do?
Roll down the window of course,
So her pony can hear all the bells and whistles!

Tooth Fairy

 🎶 All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth 🎶

Bentley got his two front (permanent) teeth for Christmas!

Bentley

Now I just need him to loose his bottom two teeth. Then I need the bottoms and the tops to touch and that will make him a 3 yo. Once he turns 3 and after being properly conditioned, he should be able to handle unlimited miles in the bike. Watch out Fort Worth, here we come… well almost!

Breezy

Yeah… I woke up like this!
Love, Breezy
