COLD DARK ROOM

[Bambam1989]

Yo are an angel that you don`t sold that old horse and let her live in peace up to her end.
May I ask how old you are ?

My physical age is 28... Mental age tends to vary by the hour.

Neigh !
I love riding but don't have the room for a horse.
Maybe a small donkey.

You live in a town with many people. There are usually no place for horses.
I loved riding a horse. It gives you the feeling to be a part of nature. I`ve often seen wild animals from the back of my horse. It is a feeling you only can feel when you ride. To be one with nature and your horse.

I have seen videos of this roosters. They are funny !

Whahaha. That was so funny.

I’m not a gore or horror fan either unlike JoesDad. They handled the bloody necessities of the text really well and used the comedic interludes well.

There was a lot of stage blood about, but it wasn’t done in a way that made me feel sick

Oh that is good.

It's foggy and cold here this a.m. I'm about to take my tub of tortoise food out and tend to the animals. I don't want to go. Please don't make me go.

.. . I know, I know - the sooner I go out and get it done the sooner I can come back in and make a fire in the woodstove.

Lol. Just don't start arguing with yourself. Thats when we going to start worrying about you.

Thank you for your answer. When I was at your age I`ve done all work that you have when owning a horse. Repair fences of the horse pasture, help by the harvest of hay and straw. Feeding my horses and cleaning their stables.
I had never help with these work but I don`t mind. I was young and strong, but 25 years older change a lot.
I hope that soon you have horses again. They are lovely animals. The two I owned had been a life assurance on 4 or 8 legs...

I think I am too old to keep a own horse. Too much work with such a big animal and I am a little bit afraid to ride a horse that I don`t know. I am not 18 years old....

Lol. Then find someone who owns one and ask them if you can have a ride. Then at least half your dream can come true.

In your corner of the world freezing water outside is unknown. Right ?

Correct.

The only freezing water we see is the kind we put in our freezers to make ice blocks for our drinks.[emoji6]

I know those mornings too well. They’re hard work. Sabine’s stoked the fire, I’m just about to put the kettle on. A big pot of tea to share? If someone can shoo those chickens off that armadillo over there I’ll put it there with milk and sugar so you can help yourself.

I like this one. View attachment 227531

Oh my word. That is so cool.

 

[CarolM]

$500 though [emoji28]

That is alot of money.

Manchurochelys from China.
Probably fake as is usual.
This is how they usually look

Wow. There is a big difference.

 

[CarolM]

Most fossils from China are fake, sadly.
An awful lot from the USA and Morocco, too.

My last horse was euthanized three or four years ago and the vet asked if I'd like to take in a couple more. He had two retired racehorse mares, older animals, that would love to live out the rest of their lives here as pet animals. I said yes, but then called him later and said no. I decided that while I love spending time picking up horse poop, brushing, tending to them, it was nice to not have that responsibility anymore. I miss them, but it's nice to not have them anymore.

A catch 22. Nice to have but all the work that goes with it is not so nice.

Before leaving Texas we sold all of our horses but one. She was a retired race horse that was then used heavily as a brood mare. Her tattoo was to faded to read so we were unable to ID who she was. The vet estimated her to be over 30years old when we got her. Had her for five years before moving. Payed my parents to let her spend her last few years in their pasture living the easy life. She passed away in June this last year.
I'm still young enough to handle retraining a horse but I would like more land before getting another.

Sorry to hear about your horse but very nice how you treated her in her last years.

That sounds so freeing.
