Well, it has come to this ladies and gentlemen, whoever is following this story.... Buck is just too skittish.Yesterday we were optimistic.  He has recently progressed to getting in the trailer, but shutting the doors behind him and going for a drive could take awhile. Today he broke a lead rope and ran back to the barn when I  was tacking him up for a ride after trailer practice.He didn't like it when I went to take my sweatjacket off, he yanked on his lead rope and turned into a bucking bronco, breaking away and galloping off..... I turned to follow him, but he was full steam ahead, leaving shoe marks on the pavement all the way home. Chandi arrived at the crime scene sometime soon after to find van doors open, half a lead rope and the horseshoe prints disappearing up the road. Unfortunately , Karin needs to go this week, and has decided we should make a decision, which ruled in favor of leaving Buck, sad as it is, she can give him to some friends. Soooo, onward to the rest of summer.

Also, in case anyone is in the market for horses, here is a link to some up for adoption in Maryland:

Check your local humane society. Lots of people have ditched there perfectly good horses because of the bad economy.


Anyhoo, no picture today.
