I've been away from this account for a long while. Been busy with RL, and I got frustrated with even my liberal rules being ignored and my stuff - even my non-stock pics of my horses- being stolen left and right. People suck. I got over it. People are going to suck no matter what, nothing I can do about it. We have this whole culture now where people are entitled as hell and think that if they see it and want it, they can take it. I see it in my job and I see it x100 online. Eh, it is what it is.

I had over 5K messages when I logged on, lol. I'm sorry if you have tried to reach me. Waaay too many messages to go through them all!!

Anyway, I'm back. I'll be posting some more stuff here and there, and cleaning out some of the older stuff in my gallery. Probably not as busy as before, though.

From this..

to this!

(crappy cell phone pic is crappy)

And today was his 3rd time wearing the saddle.

He won't have a rider up for about another year and a half, but he'll start wearing a saddle and bridle while he's ponied, and I'll begin long-lining him soon.

I said goodbye to Kitty today.

I'm going to be going through and clearing out some stock - looking at the pics of the NSH colt, Chip has been bad enough, but now Kitty too...

Sorry guys,  but I don't want to be looking at my dead horses on my DA pages.

Scottsdale!!!www.scottsdaleshow.com/scottsd…

Any Deviants going? I will be there the 22nd and 23rd, camera in hand.

I'm really looking forward to shooting some reining and dressage! Especially the FEI class and the reining futrurity classic. I've always missed seeing those classes at Scottsdale. This will be my first time going where I'm not working the show or having my horse show. It'll be cool to wander around at will!

...crazy busy at work and have been having some health issues. I've been on "stall rest" for 3 weeks now with a very badly sprained ankle, and it's *still* bruised and swollen so I have awhile to go yet before I'm back normal. Next week I have surgery, so that'll lay me low for longer still. And I'm sure my upcoming mandatory 6 day, 60hr holiday workweek is going to do wonders for my health. Dog grooming is way more physically demanding than people know. 10 hours wrestling nasty tempered, untrained little monsters and making them look good despite their best efforts makes me more exhausted than the 16 hour days as show groom ever did.

And I've got some upcoming baby showers to sew for!! Making baby stuff is sooo much cheaper than buying it (why does a 3mo sized t-shirt cost as much as one of mine when it's like 1/10th the fabric???) but very time consuming because I am slow and kinda suck at sewing. Seriously my co-workers need to quit having kids for awhile. I have all these patterns stashed for when I have more time - I want to make show clothes and dog stuff, not more damn bibs and blankets!

So I'll probably be posting new stuff after Xmas! Whooo, I fail.
