I lost my BLM mustang to cancer about 7 years ago, he was in his twenties, I still miss him. He taught me so much about herd dynamics, he was also the best weather forecaster😊.

[@clairelarson2068]

And mine gave me invaluable lessons in dropping my "agenda" and living in the moment at HIS pace. What a teacher!

Are you kidding, Nigel has a "comfort human!" He is the little king.

[@Polopony20.]

I get you're joking but please don't. Service miniature horses are a thing and they got banned from planes a few years ago, because the ACAA (Air Carrier Acsess Act) does not have to agree with the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and perpetuating the "fake a service animal for your convenience" joke threatens what little protection its still gives service dog handlers (like dogs over 100lbs cant fly. Most GUIDE DOGS are over 100lbs)

I was ones by surprise left alone to take care of 12 Finn trail horses for a weekend. 32 years ago. She had a book publishing trip to do . Book about history of Finish horses. Luckily all went well. I LOVE horses and it's so great to see your doings with horses. Have a good trip.

[@april5666]

I knew your trip would be horse-related -- lol. I thought it was property search until I heard your husband was staying home. You are such a good horse mom :) I would set up a camera for Frisco Bill next time you go away. Not so you could spend your time away watching him every minute, but in case something dicey cropped up then you could view footage and make any required decisions or suggestions. I think when you have so many "unusual" animals you have to leave in someone else's care, whatever piece of mind you can create for yourself is worth the time and money. I guess your horse care-taker could just video anything unusual going on with the horses and send you that, so maybe this would be overkill??? Clearly, I'm an animal care worrier too. :)

To keep ponds and large backyard ponds scum free they put in barley bales, I used to use tiny (baby fist size) in our solar bird bath. The horses might eat it but it might help the water troughs. I have had great luck treating sardonic with (available over the counter at almost all drug stores) Ichthamol ointment, also known as black salve. You just wipe a thin coat over the sarcoid and that is it. I discovered it when my horse with a very fast growing sarcoid, got a cut on his leg and I treated it with the salve. I was going to bandage it , but he switched his tail and got the salve on it then on the swish to the other side he got salve on half the tumor. My vet had old me not to even wash near the sarcoid, so I left it. About 2 weeks later that half, just fell off with healthy skin underneath. I then put the ointment on the remainder and again in a short time that half fell off and he hair grew back with no recurrence of e tumor. Check with your vet before trying particularly near an eye

[@Nancy-mi3xe]

I've been following several of the women who do the mustang challenges and their training methods, so I'm looking forward to seeing your process. Also, I would love to see how you evaluate the mustangs to choose the one you'll buy or bid on. I hear they're going to start a challenge for mustangs for English riders, too. This is exciting!

[@TheCleverCowgirl]

Yup, same organization, two different shows!

[@user-hx1oy6kc5k]

Oh yeah Vegas! I danced their decades ago Can Can's that is a rodeo in the dance world. I so look forward to when you adopt a mustang. I've seen the shows where people compete with their mustangs, I love it dear ... they have mules at BLM adoptions Ha ha ... Enjoy! ❤

[@albatraozgirl]

I love "in your pocket" type horses. Stewy seems like one. That sucks your flight was canceled! I'm glad it worked out though. I love mustangs! Can't wait to see what you'll be doing next 😁

[@jessiep2931]

Have a great vacation! You deserve it!

[@CarnivoreStork]

In the future, call the airline you want to rebook on and tell them to book you on Y class (economy) Then go over to their ticket counter and tell them your airlines flight has been canceled with such & such airline and you want to ‘Rule 240’ the ticket. Which means your airline that xcled you will be paying them the money on your ticket when they turn it in. Then you don’t have to pay. (Unless that airline doesn’t have any agreements with other carriers, which is very rare)

[@TheCleverCowgirl]

I tried that! Allegiant doesn’t play nice with other carriers, they were no help at all.

[@dianer.9203]

Hooray! Another journey to follow and I’m ready for it. Thank you CC. Take care and have fun.

[@rusmiling9909]

I hope you can relax. When I was working (40-60 hours/week ICU/House Sup) it always took several days to be away long enough to begin to unwind. I now realize that preparing mentally is very important to make the best of your time. I hope you can get your “batteries recharged” and I know the babies will be fine and happy to see you when you return. ❤️

[@user-qj8uc4tb8n]
