       well that's all I can write right now.G2G

Hi Every on.  how is everybody?  I'm good.  the last few months has been very...  exiting and lots of things to write about.  well to start out with my new horse Casey, after 4 dys of having him he impaled himself with a steck between his parrotneam and his thigh muscle. this stick was 14 inches long and is was sticking out of hom 6 inches!  we gave him 60 ccs of bantomine and got him into a friend trailer that could hold him still better and took him to Cornell and he was such a good boy.  he walked right onto one of those huge scales and then they took him into this royal blue standing stall that was bout 4feet wide and he walked right in without hesitation.  Then the trauma team shaved part of his neck and put in a cathader then they shaved part of his belly (he was not sadated at all!)  and they tool belly fluid to make sure he wasn't getting feces and it was crystal clear!:-)  and they took loads of pix! lol  then they took him to standing surgery and within an hour and a half they had the stick completly out and scraped.  My dad asked if he could keep the stick  I told him he had to burn it and he said "no, I'm going to frame it!"  but he hasn't yet ;-)  Casey recovered from surgery fine and now it's all healed up with a little scar and he's still running around and acts like the 3 yr. ol that he is and thank God that the stick went right between his bowl and his thigh muscle because if it hadn't he's iether be dead, or perminantly lame.  (Casey's fiasco was in April)  and then my vet came last month to vaccinte all of my horses and I pulled REtro's fly mask off and he had a corinary abrasian!   the vet actually died his eye wich she actyally put this die in his eye and it turne green where the scratch was and it was right in the middle so she gave this stuff to put in his eye 3 times a day and it's pretty much all healed.  then we went camping at out aunt's camp and we had an awesome yim!! for the first two days there were about 13 kids and then on the last day (3rd day) there were 22 kids between 5 moms!  but we were ll busy.  the camp was a huge lake, we tubed,  swam to this floating fock wich had a diving board and  huge twisty slide, we kyaked, conooed,  swam until our shoulders hurt and then we were all so tired by the time our heads hit the pillow we were sleep!  but on the second day while we were tubing my friend Rachael and I flipped over and she did a bellyflop and I did 2 summersaults.  then we went to long island to see my mom's family and to play t the beach. it was so fun!! then yesterday i was leading Casey to the round pen and he saw the dogs playing and it happened so fast I didn't have time to move over 'cause I saw it in the coner of my eye. he somehow pushed me with his head when he was shaking it and he struck me with his hoof and imagine this... right in then back of my neck!!!  how he did is unknown because it didn't look lilke he reared up but he probably did to get up that high because i'm 5 ft. 7 , but his legs are really long.  but luckilt I didn't get hurt. all I felt was his hoof toucking me in the back of my neck.  Jesus ws really looking out for me because he could've brolen my neck!  and then tody, my sister was standning on the porch and somehow got cought up in the cable that on of our neightbor's dogs were tied on (we're watching him for my friend becuse they're going camping.)  and Susanna who is 3 fell of the porch and started screaming bloody murder.  I was down at the horse pasture at the bottom of my friveway (a really really long friveway wich is probably almost a quarter of  mile long)  She's fallen of the porch, trampoline, of of alot of things and she always cries so I didn't think anything of it I wasn't thinking apparently, but my mom was in the house anyway.  so when I came in the house feom mucking stalls, she was on the couch and her face was all puffy from crying ( mom had told me what happened) so I sat fownnext to her and said, " are u o.k. kido? "  and she started crying again and saying that dog is never coming back here again, he nocked me off the porch!  And she wouldn't move her arm.  so my mom called my dad and told him wht happened. he was out mowing a field with his tractor.  he said that he'd be bck in a couple of hours and if she wasn't feeling better by then then he would take her to the ER.  so when he got home, she didn't want to walk, she didn't want to talk, she didn't want to do anything. she didn't ev3en want to go to the hospital.  but my dad took her anyway.so it turns out that she has a broken collar bone!  and nd my dad just got home so I have to get off. welkl G2G
