Ok, I had to laugh a little this morning, I was doing my Brandy workout, half was done in the small pasture as I could work her up and down a side of a incline, and we were doing other fun things, then I moved her over to the road for road work with a hoola hoop, and While I was working her, a lady pulled up, now she is the farmer down the way, I don’t know land owner number nine in that direction..
She pulled the car to a stop an says in a worried voice, did he break out (now I am standing there with her in brindle, groomed with a halter on and a hoola hoop in my hand)
Me, no, i am just doing road work with her..
Her: I have seen her by the fence and I am sure she could get out
Me: yes, I agree, she could but she never has, I am planning on putting in electic fence this spring just to be on the extra safe side
Her: I have seen her get out, she was loose in the yard
Me: only time she is loose in yard is if I have put her there.
Her: Why are you on the road?
Me: I am just doing road work training, gearing up for when we head out in the wagon?
Her: you have a wagon, can she be driven?
Me: yes, broke to ride and drive..
Her: how old is he?
Me: She is eight..
Her: does not look very big to me, think she is younger..
Me: She is only half clyde, most likely TB for the other half, can’t call her a warmblood as she is clearly a first gen cross.
Her: Where did you get her?
Me: Local area, sold her because they didn’t have pasture last year….
She: waits for more info, and waits
Me: smile and nod.. and she moves on..
I have lived in this area, and I don’t talk to many, but this lady thought she knew things about me and my world.. she had bits but none of them were quite right.. funny how folks take a bit of what they see and fill in the blanks..
So here is my funny of the day.. Fill in the blank for her.. and fill up my comment area with some humor.. cute, smart mouth or playing it straight are all welcome…
Just another Day on the Farm 
Miss Brandy is trying her hooves as a Can can girl. :p
Oh gee whiz! Are we done yet?
Seriously, is this going to take long?
Like before that nosy Parker comes back?
Pleeeeeze??
Well actually we’re running away FROM the circus…wanna come?
Gotta say…I once noticed a 1930’s ford pickup pass me everyday on my way to school. It needed a paint job and the rust pattern was unique. I started noticing that truck frequently. I decided to figure out best I could about the person driving the truck. By the time I was done just NOTICING the vehicle I had figured out they were a janitor at an elementary school living in Oregon City (a town 15 miles away). I mentioned something about it to a friend and they were like, “oh yeah, his name is X, his wife is name Y and he has a daughter on the track team.” I never met the guy and I knew his job, when he worked, his wife’s name and what his daughter did after school. Kinda creepy, but an interesting experiment.
That horse doesn’t look like its in the mood for horsing around. Guess it doesn’t want to look like an ass.
LOL, good points, I guess folks do have a habit of sharing things like that.. I want to be able to get her to use a homeknitted fringe mask for fly’s this year, plus I want to get her to the point of being comfortable with a really nice fancy SCA horse outfit 🙂
