COLD DARK ROOM

Anyone need rain?

That is heavy rain pouring down. I would take a day of your rain. When are you able to deliver ?

 

[Bee62]

And, if you like it live.

Your plants and the gras will be thankful for the water. The sound of pouring rain sounds nice to my ears. It is the sound of "heaven singing".

She is absolutely beautiful!!!! It’s horrible to loose a love like that. I lost Candy in April 2016... She was never just a pet for me:-( She is the mare in the middle and that is me & my daughter about 10 yrs ago [emoji28]

A horse that trust you and that loves you is like a very good friend. The friendship with such a big and strong animal is amazing and deep. I can understand that very well.

 

[Bee62]

They look huge now!!! Sabine, what are you going to do when they’re fully grown? (having them pull your sledge is just one idea...)

I will open a stable with tortoises to ride for children....
No, they will get a place to live in my stable with a door into the garden.

And one of the fresh crabs

The crab has a grumpy look on her/his face. He don`t wants to be eaten....

I love horses. From a distance. LOL If I am honest they tend to scare me a little (I know it is totally silly and they are very gentle and beautiful creatures) But there you go, now you know one of my little secrets.

 

[Bee62]

It just makes me sad for the crab.
I think it's the way they are boiled alive (if that's still how they do it)
I recently saw a video of a poor lobster desperately trying to get out of a steaming pot, it was on my mind for days.

That is why I never ate lobster.

April is beautiful. I love thoroughbreds. My first horse was a thoroughbred and she had been on the horse racetrack. Unfortunately she got sick there and should be slaughtered. I bought her not knowing she was sick.
She suffers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminitis
I fought a 2 year lasting ligitation because I payed too much for the sick horse. I always want to keep her for the price a slaughter horse would cost, but the seller always said that she was not sick.
The seller lost the ligitation and had to pay back all expenses I have had for the horse during the 2 years. A lot of money but because he payed he got the horse back. That was the sadest day in my life. The horse was so lovely and thankful but I had to give her back to the seller. That was the judgement.
I cried when he came and took her with him. I never saw the horse again. Her name was "Lady" because she was a real big lady.
Thoroughbreds are called nervous and crazy but they aren`t. When you are calm and understand your horse they are wonderful horses: fast and beautiful.
Now that I am older and have put on more weight I would prefer riding a heavy draft horse, maybe a Shirehorse, but that is only a dream. Since the year 2000 when my last horse died I never sat on a horse again.

Oh noooooooo!!!!. That is so sad.

 

[Bee62]

Nagh. We don’t boil them alive. When we get home, we rinse them off with nice clean water then put on ice for an hour. This puts them into a deep state....then one can insert a knife and quickly take their brain stem out...etc. takes a second or two. Then a thorough cleaning of the gills and intestines. All done very quickly. No boiling alive like lobsters.

That is good to know. Put them in a freezer before is a not painful way to kill them afterwards.

 

[Bee62]

You can take a digital pic of the hardcopy pic. Hint Hint.

Good idea !

 

[Bee62]

Oh noooooooo!!!!. That is so sad.

It really was.

 

[Bee62]

You just broke my heart!!! It was like watching Old Yeller all over again [emoji20]

What means Old Yeller ? Is it a movie or was it your horse ?

 

[JoesMum]

It’s a movie about a dog (1960s?) and guaranteed to make youreyes moist

These two horses, my brother looks after on his farm. They are not his and belong to someone else, but he lets them stay on his farm and he looks after them. I took the pic from his facebook cover page.

Now I looked it up and I know the movie. Yes it is a heartbreaking story. When the young boy has to shoot his own dog because the dog got rabies.
Here is another heartbreaking movie I love it very much. It is about a horse:

Beautiful. Can they roam free on the farm ? I see no fences.
But I see water sprinkler running. Your brother has enough water ?

That is a very sad story - he probably wouldn't let you have her out of spite.
I've never had a horse, but my sister did, he was a lovely old thing.
I used to love going pony trekking though.

Very happy belated birthday wishes, Yvonne!

 

[Lyn W]

I can't believe we all missed Yvonne's birthday !
Birthdays usually show up under the avatars don't they?
Maybe Yvonne's was hidden.

No, they will get a place to live in my stable with a door into the garden.

A tortie ride park! If they ever need a vet -- and God forbid that they would! -- it will be easier to grab the vet and haul him/her into your car.
