Ash-WENT HOME

[ACE of Spades Stables]

I just got Ash and am leading him into a stall. He leads fine, but is very very scared, as if he might have been abused. He walks slowly and limps a little, I lead him into the nice cozy stall with lots of straw and shut the door. Bye Ash, I'll be back with food!

[ACE of Spades Stables]

i walk up to Ash's stall, hey Ash! hows it goin' buddy? i clean out his stall and then give him his excersises (just like the vet said to do!) Then i give him one flake of hay and one scoop of sweet feed with corn oil added! (just like the vet said!) then i check his water, all good! everythings taken care of. then i get out the brush and spend an hour k=just brushing him and talking to him and giving him love and attention!
bye bye Ash, I'll see you tomorrow!

[ACE of Spades Stables]

hey Ash! i come down the barn isle whistling a tune.
hows is goin mister!? Ya ready for yer grain yet?
i lead him out of the stall and tie him on the cross ties while i muck out his stall, making sure to put extra straw down so he'll be extra comfy! then i fill his bucket with nice cold water and toss in one flake of hay. last comes the grain, i mix some corn oil with one scoop of sweet feed and put Ash back in his stall. he digs into the grain like he hasnt been fed for a month.
glad to see you've got your appetite back Ash! now we just gotta get some fat back on your ribs and start building up your muscles again!
when hes finished with his sweetfeed i take him out and do his excersises, then finish up with a nice long grooming session, that leaves him looking like a shiny show horse, except that hes majorly under weight nd has little to know muscles.
well, i gotta go, i'll see ya tomorro Ash!

[ACE of Spades Stables]

hey Ash! sorry i havent seen you in a while, how are ya? you've got ta go to the vet again today, hopefully she'll say you're ok and can come home soon!
i walk into the stall and drop a kiss on his nose, then i halter him and take him out of the stall and tie him on the cross ties while i muck out his stall, then i fill his water, throw a flake of hay in the feeder and put in a scoop of sweet feed with cornoil. then i give him his excersises and groom him to make sure he's nice and clean for his trip to the vet! then i put him back in his stall to eat his grain and head over to the vets office!
good luck with the vet Ash! i'll go let them kno you're ready!! hehe!

[ACE of Spades Stables]

hey Ash! how ya doin!?
i skip down the barn isle whisting a tune, i go to Ash's stall and lead him out to the cross ties and then clean out his stall, fill his water, give him hay, and give him grain. then i go do his excersises.
the vet said you might be able to come home from the clinic in two weeks maybe! wouldn't that be great!? your gonne get physical therapy now too, to build up your muscles again! well, i have to go Ash! bye bye buddy!
i put him back in his stall to eat in peace and close the stall door and leave.

[ACE of Spades Stables]

hey Ash!
i come to the barn early today and catch Ash dozing in his stall. he wakes up when he hears me.
g'mornin! how ya doin Ash!? are ya hungry yet!? ready for your grain!?
i slip into his stall and give him a big hug! and a kiss!!! then a grab his halter and put it on him and lead him out of the stall. then i talk to him about anything and everything while i muck out his stall. then i wash out his water bucket to get all the algea and everything else out of it, then i fill it up to the top with nice cool water and add some apple vinegar (or is it apple cider, i cant remember which one its supposed to be) to it to help keep the flies away a lil more. then i get his hay and throw it in the feeder, and then i go and get his grain. i mix the corn oil into it real good so he cant taste it as much, "accidentally" sneeking a little extra grain into it, but not much!
there, everything's perfect! now your excersises Ash!
i go to Ash and give him his excersises, stretching his legs just like the vet ordered. then i get out the whole grooming box and clean him up real good. first i get all the dirt off him and get him all shiny, then i get out the comb and go through his mane and tail and put some braids in his mane just becuz. i also put some mane conditioner in his mane, and rub him with some fly spray. then i take the hoof pick and clean out his hooves really well and polish his hooves with hoof polish.
there ya go Ash! now yer lookin' like a king!! and now i think the king deserves his grain!!!
i lead him back to his stall and take his halter off to let him eat. i lean/sit on the stall door for a while watching him and talking to him, sometimes humming too, until he's finished with his grain and has started on hay.
maybe I'll ask the vet if i can get you a LikIt in your stall Ash!!! becha'd like that! ok, i gotta go Ash, I'll see ya later buddy! you look great all cleaned up! love ya buddy! bye!

[ACE of Spades Stables]

hey Ash! hows it goin buddy?
i walk down the isle and take him out of his stall. I muck it out, fill his water, get his hay, and get his grain. then i give him his excersises and brush him real good. then i put him back in his stall to eat and lean against him using his hindquarters as a pillow and close my eyes. then i talk to him for a while before I have to leave.
well, Ash, i got some bad news, i have to leave monday, i'll be gone for two weeks, the hotel will take care of you, and they better take GOOD care of you too! lol, well, i'll be back tomorrow! bye Ash!

[ACE of Spades Stables]

i walk up to his stall and put him halter on and lead him out on the cross ties.

[ACE of Spades Stables]

well Ash, today's my last day for two whole weeks! i'm gonna miss ya bud! i sure wish i could take ya with me, but somehow i dont think you'd like to ride in a plane! but hopefully the Hotel will take good care of you, and if they dont, you let me kno and i'll be sure to put up a racket about it! lol
i walk slowly toward his stall and slowly go in and give him a big hug, sighing with sadness. then i halter him and tie him on the cross ties. i sadly muck out his stall while i talk to him and give him little carrots. then i be sure to clean out his water bucket extra good and fill it extra full with extra good water! only the best for my pony! then i fill his manger full with nice sweet smelling hay and fill his bucket with grain. then i make sure his LikIt is stil hanging up where he can get at it and isnt all gone. then i put him back in his stall and talk to him while he gobbles up his grain. when he's done with his grain and has gotten a drink and a mouthful of hay, i lead him back out of his stall and do his leg excersises with him. he bahaves well and i reward him with another carrot. then i get out the brushes and all the rest of the grooming supplies and be sure to maake him sqeaky clean before i leave. he's covered with firt, i dont know how he gets so dirty in a stall. so i go over him with the rubber brush to loosen up all the dirt and then go over him with all the rest of the brushes til his coat shines! then i get out the comb and go through his mane and tale, getting all the snags out. then i get some rubber bands and braid his mane for no real reason. then i clean his hooves and make sure they are ok, no cracks or chips or anything. then i polish up his hooves just to make him look even more handsome!!
there! now all the mares in the barn will be after ya!
then i stand there for a little longer just talking to him and giving him hugs and saying goodbye. then i put him back in his stall, slip him one more treat, and say my final goodbye.
see ya in two weeks Ash! be good! Luv ya!!!!!! hehehe, bye Ash! and good luck at the vet! bye!

[Roley]

Walk into the barn and go straight to Ash's stall to feed him and talk for a little. "Here you are boy. you miss Ace huh?"Ash bobs his head and i laugh. "i have to go now, bye boy."

[§unset §tables]

Hi Ash! I'm just popping in since Roley hasn't been on lately. I bring him out and tie him up for a bit and quickly clean his stall and put his feed (with corn oil )and his water in his buckets and his hay in the hay bag. I come back out and brush Ash and do his leg excersizes. You're building up some muscles! Thats good! I gotta go to the physical therapist to get you an appointment! Then I do a free check up of him (for free aren't i generous ;D ) You're doing great! Well bye Ash Ace will be back in around 5 days! I pet him and put him back in his stall.

[ACE of Spades Stables]

im back now! thanx for taking care of Ash once Roley, and thank you so much Sunset for taking care of Ash since Roley wasnt! thank you thank you! poor Ash though . . . he only got fed twice in two weeks,
well, thanks for everybody who did take care of him! let me know how much i need to pay you guys, and thanks Sunset for the free checkup! and for taking him to the pool! so everybuddy let me kno how much i owe them! thanks!

[ACE of Spades Stables]

i come running down the barn isle (even though i know i shouldnt run around horses) to Ash's stall! he has his head out over the stall door and whinnies when he sees me! (lol) i run to his stall and throw my arms around his neck in a big hug!
i missed you so much Ash!!!!!!
he wuffs at my face and i breathe in his heavenly horsie smell and kiss his velvety soft nose.
ohh, . . . you poor guy, you're so skinny!!!!! you poor guy Ash!! now we're gonna have to fatten you up AGAIN! dont worry Ash, i wont let that happen again! poor guy! you're getting an extra ration today! i'll try to get ahold of Sunset Stables and ask her if i can increase your feed, your so skinny! and your stall is a mess too! it hasnt been cleaned forever!
he's such a sorry sight i want to cry. he looks almost as bad as when i adopted him and i promised him i wouldnt let it happen again when i got him, but it did. instead of crying i busy myself getting him fed and cleaned up. i take him out on the cross ties and give him grain to eat while i clean out his stall. he devoures it like he hasnt eaten in ages, which he hasnt. i get the wheel barrel and start to clean out his stall, its gonna take a long time, its a real mess! i finally get it cleaned out and pile it REALLY high with lots of extra straw, building it up good around the edges. then i grab his water bucket, which is bone dry, and fill it up to the top with lots of fresh water (but i only let him have a little at a time so he doesnt get sick) then i get him a big manger full of hay and a little bit more grain.
there ya go Ash, thats more like it huh!?
i let him back in his stall so he can eat while i brush him. his beautiful fuzzy coat is caked with dirt and manure, definitely a job for the rubber curry comb! it takes me a long time to get all the dirt off him, but i do it, and by the end i'm more covered with dirt than he is! lol
well Ash, i have to go, i wish i didnt, i wish i could stay here in the barn with you forever, but i got other things i have to do but dont worry, i aint goin' ANYWHERE! and i WILL be back tomorrow unless the world comes to an end {or my computer explodes}
bye Ash, i love you buddy, ill see you tomorrow! bye!!!!!

[ACE of Spades Stables]

[ACE of Spades Stables]
