Who has time for musing when
your ears are froze!?
Who has times for musing
when you got ice balls in your toes!?
Who has time for musing
when they put crazy things on your head !?
Well I do–McTavish–’cause I am standing around forgotten–oh sure, they trim my toes and stick that vile paste in my mouth, brush me once in a while, feed me that yummy hay–but when are they going to RIDE me?!!!
Oh no, they are too busy riding those red mares (although they are cute) than to pay attention to me.
Or they ride those spotted things–Taco and Chief, and they even rode my cousin–that ass, Gordi.
Hello people come out and ride me–or if you have a horse–when have YOU ridden last!?
Oh McTavish, you have me feeling so guilty. Yes, our horses would love to be ridden more. Well, maybe not Harley. But we have learned a few tips to use on him after reading how the trainers helped Dolly learn to move forward more consistently.
Soon the Christmas holidays will be over, the grandkids back in daycare and Glenn and I will have lots of time for our horses. No more excuses, no more sitting in a warm house and reading online what is happening at St Andrews Stables, we will be there giving our horses the attention they deserve. Even Mana will receive lots of attention. Her owners who live in Hawaii and are currently in Mexico on a holiday, call and email us often to ask how cold it is here and if we are taking good care of their horse.
Keep the stories coming McTavish. We love hearing from you. But don’t tell Harley that his easy days are almost over….

Maybe Gordi can earn his keep by performing in a Christmas pageant or two…
Thank you so much Megan for putting a bag over ‘Mctavish’s’ head. You promised to take care of him for me & you kept your word. Love ya’ for that! My mule boyz have a happy ending! Not many ‘equines’ are so lucky.
