First time I got stepped on by a horse ...

was today!  Not a happy mama!

I was thinking how Thoroughbreds are such high flight animals... hahaha thats not what I was thinking at all but to be fair I am sure that's why they are so jumpy.  Penny came in the barn third instead of last and started screaming and rushing around in her stall as Lily strolled into her place beside her. Once everyone was in and it didn't look like they were rushing at her pile of food, did Penny calmly go about eating.

who's that masked beast?  Where's my cape?

A few of the horses, two thoroughbreds (apparently they are thin skinned and are affected by bugs more) and a newbie to the farm are wearing fly sheets. These are quite an elaborate things, like a horse blanket but with lots of extra tight flaps.  I ain't never gunna complain about putting winter blankets on again. Anyway, these things are tight and I imagine quite hot and with tight little bindy clasps, lots of them and extra flaps. Sooo while struggling with these things and sweaty horses and poo covered sticky bits, one fellow spooks (because the hooky bits jangled in a different way today? I don't friggin know) and jumps on my foot. Holy Hell!  It must have felt weird to him to cause he jumped off just as quick... didn't feel good to me either, bud!

Ahhh, I love horses, I like horses, I...
