   Well, I’ve milked cows, and I’ve milked goats, and I’ve even milked dogs, but never a horse! You’ve got one on me there. I’m sure the principle is the same, just one of those things I haven’t done yet! I have to tell you though that having some down time from the computer can really free you up to do some of those things you actually need to do! So days I just have the limit my time on the computer or I keep hopping from one thing to another until the day is almost gone! I’ve learned lots though. Have a great day:)))))

   I’ve tried to milk a horse. I’ll take a cow or a goat any day.

   Correction: The girls behaved for their pictures, not the boys.
   Milk a horse? It wasn’t Shortcake was it? Can’t wait to hear the news about her.

    Looking forward to hearing Shortcakes assessment from the trainer.
    My uncles tell a story about when on the trail they milked the mare
    to get milk for pancakes.
    The sign is great.
    Looking forward to your next post.
    Thanks

    Gee Suzanne… do you think mares milk would make very good butter? I wonder which breed gives the richest cream.

    It is a real tribute to you that so many young adults (read WVU students) find Sassafras Farm so relaxing and inviting that they want to meet at your place before heading off to college. Yes, Morgan is tucked in there, too. These seem to be good, down-to-earth students who will soon enough be leading our country. I thank God every time I see young people who are level-headed, responsible and responsibly looking to the future. My faith is restored knowing that the torch will be passed to people such as these. God bless all of them,

    You have a knack to leave off with a cliff hanger every once in awhile. uggg. I’m sure you will be updating in a short while. Until then so great that the kids all gathered at your place. I also love the photo. Its our county fair and all the kids I know and watched grow up are pretty much there. Each and every one different, have their own goals in life and are great I’m so proud of them. So great Morgan let you take her picture on the first day of school. My daughter stopped wanting her picture taken at about 16. lol. But we got them anyways. Such neat memories to have later on.

    So update, milking a horse? I sense some interesting things coming up here soon.

    It should be noted that the OPEN sign actually faces the near pasture land and is mainly a signal to the animals therein to begin their best imitation of loving human visitors in the hopes of getting treats.

    By the way, it works. Enter the gate with ANYTHING in your hand and you will be mobbed, hoof-jumped, horn-hooked, and hand-licked by the crowd. Bring a drum or a flute and you can even lead a parade!

    The shortcake, she looks quite rotund for being a rescue…I can see the veins on her belly that can indicate she’s gearing up for, or is, lactating. Is she weaning? Or perhaps pregnant?
    Her eyes have the beautiful soft expression that I have learned to associate with a good, willing horse.

    Yes, I am wondering about the “milk a horse” statement too! Also-what time does Morgan have to catch her bus–it looks so dark out there!
