In Toronto....
Some of my many Favourite Ents.
Looking kinda dour, aren't they? I don't blame them a bit, they watched a LOT of chain-sawing last year.
The Ents Neigbours
Not exactly chain-sawing, sorry. Just Logging, for no purpose. NONE.
I'm just waiting on a snow-plow. My (0.5km) driveway's eastern dip had sprouted snow drifts taller than my car's roof. FredCar wasn't designed for tunneling. I'm facing west, as the storm masses over the Niagara Escarpment. Wind blowing straight from the north. I've backed into my neighbour's driveway, to stay out of the way of the plow, due within the next hour(s). I'm pretttY grumpy. Thanks, husband. Way to listen.
One of my favourite rocks..
Rock's in the wrong place, in my grumpy opinion, but I don't operate the tractors around here, so. Is Rock grinning/winking at you?
I'm waffling on auditing the master clinic tomorrow. Long drive, late at night, I don't do this well.
Why can't clinics be day-timed? Can't they think about the old crones once in a while?? I got a notice from Toronto CADORA about a strangles outbreak, and the barn is going to be off-limits to everybody.
So, I can't even go in and smell the barn. There's a strangles outbreak? Och, poor horses, horrible disease, lost my chestnut...
See!! I mention my chestnut, and BAM. Strangles. Horses make me feel guilty, and I'm not even near one! Oh, they are all around me. I just won't go near them. Horse people are with them.
They scare the crap out of me.
Not YOU guys! Jeeesh, pay attention, I'm generalizing again.
Annoying habit, I know.
I pulled my guilt post, and realized what I'd typed. Not YOU. Still editing that mother.
Okay, this is blithering idiot ramble number one. To be continued. The whale post got the comments I was looking for, thanks you all!
It's like BHM's question about abuse, and what do you do?
Abuse is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it. I've watched a bit more of some (relatively) new worshiped dressage guru. He's truly not any different... He doesn't DO roll-cure. Um, his horses do indeed drop behind the vertical. Usually just as he turns away from the camera. Good timing there:)
Oh, NOOOOOO.
I'm not SAYing he's not brilliant. I'm saying we have the self-same brilliance in trainers, right here in Canada. Too bad we don't know it.

I love your Ents GL, they are magnificent.
My Ents are pissed off because it has been so wet that some of them are having to grip with their toes extra hard so they don't get blown over with all of this wind we are now having.
OOOOHHHHHHH, I iz FFFFIRRRRSSSTTTT!
Loving your actual, what are those? Oh, right. TREES! We have a few of those. Not quite as tall, but present with the thorns like everything else.
A lot of land has been cleared around here too. In anticipation of housing... only the bubble burst, and things went under. So now it just sits producing tumbleweeds. Hopefully when it all gets rolling again, someone gets a load of thorns when they start clearing it all out again.
I always hate to see the destruction logging brings. Esp whan it is just claer cutting to clear the land for development , so they can build cookie cutter houses and ,here is the kicker ,plant sickly little trees in zero lot line yards .Leave some trees for sh*ts sake! Shelter belts, windbreaks ,prevent erosion .Oh right logic ,sorry big business wasn't built on that
Watched the video. It looks like he's trying to work with a horse that reacts strongly to bit contact. He's not rollkurring the horse because he's not pulling. This is a training session not the final product.
