it's about time.

For months now, I have been begging and begging my dad to be able to move pumpkin. We have been experiencing so many problems at our current barn that have been affecting pumpkin's health. Pumpkin went from a fatty to pretty much a bag of bones. It makes me so angry that the owner of this barn flat out refused to give my horse more food. Pumpkin has been on 2 flakes of coastal and half a scoop of safe choice with a fat rate I think of like 5 %. My dad had been brainwashed by him, told that pumpkin's weight was fine and was perfect. Now funny how all the horses that belong to this man have exposed hip bones, ribs, and extremely high withers. Theh only horses of his that aren't underweight are two his expensive show horses. Ugh. My poor pony. And all his poor ponies. This man a runs a successful business though. He's got plenty of boarders and students. I find it rather sad. Also, pumpkin has been living in a completely trashed paddock. It's also been raining so his paddocock is a SWAMP. Guess what friend that's gonna bring up again? THRUSH. I'll take a pic when we go for the farrier today. Anyways, this weekend, finally, we are moving him. Haha I'm on a rainbow slide with ice cream and little fairy friends. I'm sure pumpkin will be too. This new barn isn't the most beautiful barn, but neither is the one I'm at now. But, pumpkin will be getting a nice stall with a little open window in the back that is opened to a little paddock with three teeny ponies so he can have buddies. He also has a stall door that's only half, so now he can look out of his stall. Also, these people are by no <br>means stingy with food, so pumpkin will be getting as much food as we feel is necissary. Ooh and what I like most is that every day from one to five at night he gets to go out in acres of paddock with tons of grass to graze on and lots of shade. Almost like a cow field. xD what makes me happier is that one of my friends just <br>moved her horse there recently so he gets to go out with her horse. It's nice cause roman(her horse)is his <br>buddy. They've got tons of trails to gallop on and there's a lake! Also they have two nice rings with clay <br>footing so it won't hurt his sfeet. (My current place has rocks). One's a flat ring and one has jumps. To make it <br>better, this place is such a friendly environment. There are tons of kids my age instead of just older teens and adults like at my old barn, so i finally have people to ride with. Ahhh I'm just so excited.!!! Rainbow slides ice cream and fairy friends to whoever read this. xD

  • Today was friggin awesome. It didn't rain, it was extremely sunny. I even got sunburnt. xD so in the morning we went and got pumpkin from the old barn and then went down to the new barn. We got pumpkin settled in and then five minutes later we were out playing with Amanda and her horse roman. We went on a trail ride, the barn has awesome trails, and then went back to the barn. Then I made a new friend, she's like 2 years older than me but whatever lol. So then we got bored and we all went out bare back on the trail again. Me and Jordan decided to race on our ponies. Pumpkin was going the fastest I had ever seen him go and it was so much fun. My whole feet are bright red from burns because I went barefoot. xD then we raced again and it was a tie.. I felt like one of those kids in a movie just galloping along bareback having a dandy old time with friends. xD then we took all the ponies in the lake (well, the two, Amanda went on her four wheeler the second time) and on the way back to the barn me and Jordan raced Amanda and her four wheeler with our ponies. Then we put all three horses back in their paddock (it was turnout time). Pumpkin seriously was having the most fun I had ever seen him have. He was prancing around, playing with all his buddies. It was adorable. Then we had McDonald's and hung around for a bit and then we went home. I'm lame, I didn't get real pictures, my dad had dropped me off there and i forgot to grab the camera from the car. But I did get like two with my phone. xD<br><br><br><a href="http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff400/Ponyface1212/575283_464756240219279_672573965_n.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff4 ... 3965_n.jpg</a> pumpkin and roman.

  • That's awesome! I'm glad you're able to move for the better interest of you <span style="font-style:italic">and</span> your horse. <br>I live out in the middle of nowhere and I've been told my paddocks looks like they're from a fairy tale (both on here and in real life!).<br>We have pretty creeks and ponds and big open fields with huge trees. I love it!<br>It's great that you realize that your horse and others weren't getting proper care. I've come across too many owners who have been brain washed by the people who run their barns.
