Another New Horse - It's Bo!

No, no never sell or give away a blanket that is anywhere close to fitting something you have. Or might have in the future in the unlikely event it does not get put into service as a replacement due to shenanigans or wear and tear.

I mean, I don’t recall the last time I had a horse who was an 84… Cooper should fit fine in a 78, the 84 was like a giant dress on him. He may bulk out some, but not that much :joy: if I hadn’t spent an absolute fortune outfitting the kids in fly gear, I’d probably just stow it away for future use. But these days, every dollar counts! And I need to go pick up more alfalfa (which is $700 a ton these days… :expressionless:) this week.

I managed to snag a few pictures in between pulling fly sheets while hustling horses back in for dinner before the next thunderstorm rolls in.

Where’s the food?

If you don’t have food, I go. You can look at my booty as I walk away.

How 'bout food now? Don’t walk away from me…

No pets. FOOD. (Also a wonderful shot of his bench-y knees…)

Beautiful shiny sleek glossy coppery Bo!

(With those ear covers you look like the Easter Bunny, hunny.) :grin: :heart_eyes: :rabbit:

He does look good!

And yes, an 84" Rambo would make a pretty good RV cover.

My horse is offended by that comment :rofl:. All 17.1H of gorgeousness

Nonsense…you sell it and in 6 month you will end up with a cute Clyde cross somebody dumped…that trim is hard to resist.

You never know. You didn’t need a misrepresented, toothless ex ranch horse either.

The inn is FULL I tell you :rofl: I don’t have any more space if I want to be able to rotate fields, and unless one of these horses starts making money instead of eating it, this is my limit. I still need to build a barn. And an outdoor.

In fact, I’m currently mulling over ways to make the whole thing less complicated. Because Bo and his special needs are wearing me down after 6 months. Feeding 4x a day in itself is kind of restrictive, but I didn’t really think through how much extra work I was making for myself with the soaked cubes.

He sure does look good though.

'scuz me ma’am, you are aware that I don’t like wearing clothes?

Prior to donning fly gear, we went for a short little tour bareback in a halter. He actually rides better in a halter, so I may try out my fluffy-nose hack on him next time.

he is getting that wonderful copper shine! Poor Bo - to be so put upon and loved that he has to wear a fly sheet and mask! The horror!! :rofl: I’m glad that his new wardrobe is working for him.

I’m getting flashbacks of A Christmas Story when they put Randy’s snowsuit on :joy:

(not that Bo’s fly gear is excessive! His distaste for it just makes me laugh)

When mum puts the blingy bridle on you and says you’re a fancy boy now, but you’re not sure…

How does I look?

Even more handsome, Bo! I didn’t think that was possible. :heart_eyes:

He is quite the looker, even to my ‘sporthorse’ eye. I bet he was absolutely stunning as a young horse (and probably something of a handful!).
