Blue- WENT HOME

[American Paint Horse Refuge]

I lead the beautiful horse into a stall marked "Blue" and close the stall door behind me and take off his halter and put that in the tack room then I walk back to Blue's stall, when I get to his stall I take the water bucket off it's hook and rinse it out and fill it with fresh water, then I put him out in the field while I clean his stall, I get the shovle and the wheelbarrow and start to clean out his stall, when I'm finished I dump the contians of the wheelbarrow outside in the manure paddock and let Blue back inside his stall "Did you have fun out there boy?" I ask him, he gives me a blank stare as if to be saying "Of course I did", "You must be hungry, let me go get you're hay and feed" then I walk to the feed room getting 1 flack of hay and 3 scoops of beet pellets (to help him gain weight) then I walk back to his stall and give him his hay first, when I put it into his feed bin he eats it up fairly quick "Wow, you really were hungry, want your beet pellets now?" I say as I pour his pellets into the bin, he look's at it like "whats this stuff?", "go ahead, eat it, it's good" I say to him as he takes a bite, then he look's at me with a look like "hey, this is good!" then he quickly gobbles up the rest while he's eating I look at his coat and I'm thinking "wow, he could really use a groomming maybe a bath to" so after he's done I put on his halter and lead him to the washing stall then I tie him to the speciel post in the stall and turn on the water and sqiert some horse shampoo on the sponge and give him a thourgh scrubbing then I rince it off good and then I sqrit some horse condtioner onto the sponge and again give him a good rub down then rinse it off real well, then I turn off the water and get a towel and dry him off real good, and then I lead him to the grooming stall and brush his fur, mane and tail real well, and then I lead him back into his stall and I just pet him and talk to him for a half hour, after I'm done I put his winter blanket on him and say "good bye boy, I'll be back tomarrow" I call as I walk out of the clinic.

I walk into the clinic and into Blue's stall and take off his blanket, and take his bucket off the hook and rinse it out and fill it back up with fresh clean water then I put it back on the hook. He drinks thirstely and I turn him out into the field so I can clean out his stall then I get the shovle and wheelbarrow and then I shovle out the icky stuff and into the wheelbarrow, when I'm done I roll the wheelbarrow into the manure paddock and put the wheelbarrow back. Then I let Blue back into his stall and give him his hay (one flake) and he eats it quickly wanting to eat his pellets "alright boy, you want you're pellets, don't you boy", he nods his head as if to be saying "yeah, yeah I do", "alright, here you go", I say laughing and pouring his pellets (3 scoops) into his bin, he eats them greedily. Then I put on his halter and lead him to the groomming stall, then I give him a nice groomming. Then I just pet him and talk to him for a whole hour, then I put on his winter blanket and let him outside. Then I leave the clinic.

I walk into the gate in the field hoping that Blue isn't mad at me, when I get to him I see that he is not mad at all! In fact he streches out is neck and nuzzles me! "Hiya Blue! Sorry it took me so long boy, I was really busy today" I say patting his neck, "O. K. time to get serius" I say leading him back into clinic and into his stall, taking off his blanket and taking his bucket off the hook and pouring the old water out and putting new in and putting it back on the hook as he drinks it. "You hungry boy? I bet you want you're pellets huh?" He nods just like yesterday "Thats a pretty nifty trick isn't it boy?" I say laughing at this trick, then I get his hay and put it into his bin he eats slowly now, at a normal pace, when he's finished I give him his pellets, witch he likes better than his hay so he eats them faster. Then after he finishs I lead him into the grooming stall and give him a good brushing, combing his mane and tail and picking the dirt clods off the bottom of his hooves, then leading him back into his stall and then I just pat his neck and tell him about my day for a hour and a half, then I put his winter blanket on and say to him "I need to go now, but I'll be back tomorrow" I call after me soulder as I leave the clinic.

"Hi Blue!" I call into the clinic when I walk in the door, to my surprise and delight he sticks his head out of his stall and nickers a greeting! "I bet you were looking forword to me visiting you" I say taking off his blanket and then taking his bucket off the hook and pour the old water out and rinse it out then filling it back up and putting it back on the hook. Then I let him outside so I can muck out his stall not much to clean but Blue deserves the best, when I let him back into the stall he looks at the clean stall and gives me a look like "thank you for the clean stall" "I bet your hungry aren't you boy?" when I ask him this he nuges the food bin as if to say "yeah could you fill it please", "your the funneist horse I'v ever known" I say to him putting his hay into the bin, this time he eats it fast like he's saying "I want pellets" "alright you want your pellets? I'll give you your pellets" I say scooping his beet pellets into the bin. He eats them faster than I could say "hungry" "wow, I could enter you in a eating contest and you'd totally kick butt" I say staring at the empty bin. "You need a good brushing don't you?" I say looking at his coat, then I put on his halter and lead him to the groomming stall and brush his coat, comb him mane and tail and pick his hooves. Then I lead him back to his stall with his coat looking ready for a show "but unfortunitly he isn't ready for a show" I think to myself as I take his halter off after I'm done I just pet him and talk to him for about two hours. After two hours are up I say to him "I'm sorry I have to go so soon boy, but I have to go" I say giving him one last pat and then leaving the clinic.

I walk into the clinic and to Blue's stall and pat him then he whinnys and nuzzles me. "I love you to boy" I say giggling because he tickles me with his nose "you thirsty boy? I bet you are, I bet your always thristy, because those mean old farmers left you behind with no water huh boy?" I say taking his bucket off the hook and putting fresh water in it, then I put the bucket back on the hook and pat Blue witch he likes so he nuzzles me again. "I need to put you outside for awhile so I can clean your stall, O. K.?" I say leading him into the field and letting him go. When I let him go he walks around and starts to graze, then I open the gate and go back into the clinic and grab the wheelbarrow and the shovle and muck out his stall so its sparkly clean ( ;D) then I dump the nasty stuff into the manure paddock and put the wheelbarrow and shovle back where I found them and then got Blue and led him back into his stall. Then I say to him "you hungry? I bet you are but then I bet you're always hungry" I say putting his hay into his bin. This time he takes his time eating his hay so when he's finally finished I pour his pellets into the bin and he eats faster then a race horse can run "wow, you eat really really fast, did you know that boy?" I say giving him a nice pat on the neck "I need to groom you O. K. boy?" I say putting on his halter and leading him into the groomming stall and brush his coat so it shines,comb mane and tail so they are silky to touch and pick his hooves so that they is absaloty no clods stuck to his hooves. Then I lead him back to his stall and pat him and whisper to him for about two and a half hours. Then I put on his blanket and lead him outside and lat him go. "Bye Blue, I'll be back tomorrow" I call to him as I go out the gate.

It a beautiful morning as I walk out into the field to get Blue, when I catch him I say to him "Its a beautiful morning, isn't it boy?", he bobs his head as if to say "yes it is". Then I lead him back to his stall inside the clinic and take off his blanket and put it in the tack room. When I come back Blue is nuging the water bucket! He knows the daily roution! "Alright Blue, I'll fill your bucket" I say laughing at Blue's antics as I take the bucket off the hook and fill it up with fresh water. "O. K. Blue, now its feedin' time!" I say to him getting his one flake of hay and putting it into the bin. He starts to eat, like a normal horse now, and since it takes a normal horse a long time to eat, I walk out of his stall and just think about Blue, his adatude, his look and his backround, and I think "what kind of sicko would leave such a sweet animal to die?". I was just about to answer my own question when I noties that Blue's hay was gone, so I whent back to the feed room and got his three scoops of beet pellets and I poured them into the bin, he eats slow, but not slow enough to make me worried about him, so I go back to my thoughts. "A farmer who thinks that the animal isn't worth anything, thats what kind of sicko" I thought. Blue, liking his pellets more than his hay ate his pellets faster then he ate his hay, so his pellets were gone faster. So I put on his halter and led him to the groomming stall. Then I did a repete of yesterday, brushing his coat untill it shone, combing his mane and tail so that he looked ready for a show and picking his hooves so they were shiny clean. Then I led him back into his stall and petted him and talked to him for about three hours. Then I go back into the tack room and get his winter blanket and put it on Blue so he won't be cold, and then I say to him waving "Bye bye Blue, I'll be back tomorrow", then I leave the clinic.

I walk into the clinic and walk quickly over to Blue's stall and say to him "I'm sorry I'm late boy, I slept in because of a one monster headache. I'm O. K. now though." He just gives me a blank stare as if to say "I don't know what headaches are, but they probably don't feel good". Then I set to work, taking his blanket off and putting it in the tack room and filling his bucket up with fresh water. "O. K. boy, I'm going to have to make you go outside so I can clean your stall O. K.?" I say putting on his halter and leading him outside. Then I go back inside and get the wheelbarrow and the shovle and get to work cleaning out his stall, making sure I get every little bit of horse stuff and then dumping it all outside. Then I let him back inside so I can feed him. He eagerly nuges the bin as if to say "feed me", "O. K. O. K. I'll feed you, no need to get impateint" I say laughing. Then I walk back into the feed room and get 1 flake of hay and put it in his bin. This time he eats fast, why I don't know, he just keeps changing the speed he eats. When he's done I go back to the feed room and get his three scoops of beet pellets into the bin, he eats them slowly. I don't know why he did that, but at least he is eating. When he's finally finished I put on his halter and lead him to the groomming stall and give him a nice thourgh brushing of his coat, a good combing of his mane and tail and picking his hooves clean. When I'm done I say to him "I'm sorry I havn't been taking you for rides boy, but I will ride you once you get to normal weight, O. K.?". Then I put him back into his stall and pet him and talk to him for about three and a half hours. Then I say to him "I'm going to put you outside and then I have to go O. K.?" then I put on his winter blanket and his halter and lead him outside then I pat him and say "Bye Blue I'll be back tomorrow". Then I leave the gate.

OOC- The saddest thing happened yesterday, one of my (real life) frogs crossed the Rainbow Brige (witch means he died) yesterday and it's all my fault. I didn't clean out his cage and now he's dead.

I hurredly walk to the gate hoping that Blue is not mad at me because I left him outside for a day. When I catch him he seams a little upset. "I'm sorry Blue, I really wanted to come yesterday, but I didn't get the chanse". I say as I lead him to his stall. When I get there I take off his halter and blanket and put them in the tack room. Then I take his bucket off the hook and fill it with fresh water and then put it back on the hook. Blue drinks thirstly. Then I whent back into the feed room and got his hay and put it in his food bin and he eats fast because he's hungry. Then I go back to the feed room and get his scoops of beet pellets and he eats those even faster than he ate his hay. Then I put on his halter and led him to the groomming stall. Then I give him a good brushing, combing and picking of his coat, mane and tail and his hooves. Then I lead him back into his stall and pet him and talk to him for about four hours.
