Gobie: Booster and Teeth
http://hnhr-gobie.blogspot.com/2012/05/booster-and-teeth.html
A blog about a rescue pony. Thursday, May 24, 2012. A follow up visit from the vet today involved Gobie getting a booster shot, and one last vaccine. He didn't let the doctor take his temperature this time, but the other parts went off without much event. He still tried to run away, mind you, but it was better than last time. The really eventful part of the visit was Honey's dental care. I can't recall the last time I saw a horse get their teeth taken care of, so it was interesting to watch.

Gobie: July 2011
http://hnhr-gobie.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
A blog about a rescue pony. Saturday, July 30, 2011. It's been hot and I've been on vacation, so, nothing productive today, friends. Just some photos of the most handsome pony of all time. Friday, July 22, 2011. Aw, shucks you guys! The other day I got the nicest mail from HorseNet Horse Rescue. It was a letter and a postcard from Chris, their excellent Adoptions Coordinator, saying thanks for adopting Gobie! I'm not going to lie, you guys, the letter was super sweet and I even had to flick a tear. He an...

Gobie: April 2012
http://hnhr-gobie.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
A blog about a rescue pony. Thursday, April 19, 2012. Gobie had his first visit from the vet- with me at least- on Wednesday. He had been vetted before I adopted him almost a year ago so he (and the rest of the horses at Bonnie's) was ready for his annual shots. It was not a great day for it, to be frank. It had been raining all day and it was still pouring when I arrived at the barn. All the horses were in the far paddock getting soaked despite the fact that there were trees and shelter available. The f...

Gobie: New Developments!
http://hnhr-gobie.blogspot.com/2012/06/new-developments.html
A blog about a rescue pony. Saturday, June 23, 2012. We are getting a bit of Maryland Summer, finally, and by that I mean heat and humidity and a bit of storminess. The most important development, though, is that I finally got a saddle and a pad for my purposes. They are, in fact, the same kind of saddle and pad I had previously: a black Wintec Semi-Quarter Western Trail Saddle. And a Professional's Choice Roper Elite Pad. No big deal, lady. Next was being introduced to the saddle. This also got a th...

Gobie: First Bath
http://hnhr-gobie.blogspot.com/2012/05/first-bath.html
A blog about a rescue pony. Sunday, May 27, 2012. Over the winter Gobie's coat had gone a little crazy. He evidently had some insect bites, and had rubbed naked patches on his neck and shoulder, and had a bit of dandruff around his mane as well. So as soon as it got warm I vowed to give him a proper bath. On to the pictures:. Dry pony, pre-bath. All wet, and looking a bit silly. Here also, for your viewing pleasure, a video. This is directly after his bath. I was hoping he would take the opportun...Hes s...

Gobie: Buttercups
http://hnhr-gobie.blogspot.com/2012/05/buttercups.html
A blog about a rescue pony. Sunday, May 6, 2012. There was a buttercup explosion at the barn! Yellow flowers everywhere. The bottoms of my pant legs were discolored from walking through all that polleny sunshine. The horses don't seem to mind it one bit. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Gobie: July 2012
http://hnhr-gobie.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
A blog about a rescue pony. Sunday, July 1, 2012. Derecho. whatever that means! We're having a "heat wave" which really just means everyone is being reminded of how gross our summers are after a pretty mercifully cool month of June. However, the meeting of hot and cold weather fronts culminated this weekend in a severe storm called a derecho. Mysteriously the horses felt like standing in the hot sun after a while. I took that as my cue to leave, after staying some goodbyes to my handsome pony.

Gobie: Feet, Part Two!
http://hnhr-gobie.blogspot.com/2011/05/feet-part-two.html
A blog about a rescue pony. Saturday, May 14, 2011. Feet, Part Two! I'm happy to report that Gobie's feet trimming went better than I could have expected! What a good pony I've got. I took a half-day off of work so I could arrive at Bonnie's in time for the farrier appointment. All of the horses were getting trimmed and wormed that day. When I pulled into the drive way I saw another of the boarders was already there. Being the nice guy that he is, Ben offered to deworm Gobie, too. I'm not one to turn...
