Thanks to everyone who has been buying The Horse That Wouldn't Trot. Lots went for Christmas presents!

I stopped breeding my Tennessee Walking Horse stallion, Praise Hallelujah, and now I enjoy hearing about his grandbabies. Praise Hosanna is in foal to Whoopie's Gold Coin for a 2010 foal. I always predicted that his mare offspring would be great brood mares. This has been proven by Lori Snyder Lowe's Hallelujah mares. She has several and I congratulate her on her foals accomplishments.

In the meantime, Hallelujah lives with 3 of his favorite mares and 3 molly mules. He has no use for the mollies, in fact is quite grumpy with them. Maybe he knows they cannot have babies!

Have a joyful Christmas!

From another horse friend. I have been here. How about you?


Ya' gotta chuckle a bit at this one.


WHAT OWNING A HORSE MEANS:

When you are tense, let me teach you to relax.
When you are short sighted, let me teach you to see.
When you are short tempered, let me teach you to be patient.
When you are quick to react, let me teach you to be thoughtful.
When you are angry, let me teach you to be serene.
When you feel superior, let me teach you to be respectful.
When you are self-absorbed, let me teach you to think of greater things.
When you are arrogant, let me teach you humility.
When you are lonely, let me be your companion.
When you are tired, let me carry the load.
When you need to learn, let me teach you.
After all, I am your horse.

And now for the TRUE story......

When you are tense, let me teach you that there are dragons in the forest and we need to leave NOW!
When you are short-sighted, let me teach you to figure out where exactly in the 40 acres I am hiding.
When you are short-tempered, let me teach you how to slog around the pasture for an hour before you can catch me.
When you are quick to react, let me teach you that herbivores kick MUCH faster than omnivores.
When you are angry, let me teach you how well I can stand on my hind feet, because I don't FEEL like cantering on my right lead today, that's why.
When you are worried, let me entertain you with my mystery lameness, GI complaint and skin disease.
When you feel superior, let me teach you that, mostly, you are the maid service.
When you are self-absorbed, let me teach you to PAY ATTENTION. I told you about those dragons in the forest.
When you are arrogant, let me teach you what 1200 lbs of yipee-yahoo-gotta-go horse can do when suitably inspired.
When you are lonely, let me be your companion. Let's do lunch. Breakfast and dinner sound good, too.
When you are tired, don't forget about the 600 lbs of grain that needs to be unloaded.
When you are feeling financially secure, let me teach you the meaning of "veterinary services".
When you need to learn, hang around the barn, Bud, I'll learn ya. :-)

Because this blog was first to be information on the book, and now I have books en route in time for the big Christmas barn party/book signing, now I am going to change the direction of this blog. Now it will be about my animals and interesting and helpful things I have found for both animal and perhaps human..healthwise and otherwise. Hopefully it will be informative and maybe even entertaining.

It really is like dangling a carrot before the horse...Yesterday the books were to be on their website so I could order them, today the site is "up" but says "books not available yet" Maybe later today?!

I am so eager to order for book signings and local stores. Martin's Feed and Pet on Jackson St, Elkhart, Troyer's Saddlery in Middlebury, Al Bar Ranch in Mishawaka, Weldy's Assoc large animal vet, Goshen, Maplecrest Vet in Goshen, Rivervalley Vet (Dr. Brandt) Niles, MI, and of course my husband's office at 315 W. Marion St, Elkhart will carry my books as well as ordering from the website: www.rosemiller.net
