My Pretty Boy is a Red Roan Appaloosa horse who's paper name is Trouper.

Precious here.......

I saw the human girl come out to my red barn and open the big doors so of course I had to see if she needed any help. She was rolling the little lawnmower out when I got there. I can help pretty good with that right up to the point where one of two things happen. One is that when she is pulling on that rope to start it sometimes I stick my nose too close and kapow there you go popped by her elbow. And then the other thing that happens is I am not real thrilled when it starts. Lucky for me she isn't real good at starting it so we can be there awhile before one of the two things happen to me. But this time she wasn't trying to start it. She just rolled it out there and we stood waiting for something. The human man came out and she pushed down on the handle of the mower so it's front wheels came off the ground. She asked the man 'Can you put that belt back on?'. He got down and looked and said he didn't see a belt. She told him that is because it came off. She thought that was some pretty funny words but he didn't. She let the mower down, went around to where the front wheels are and picked it up. I put my head down there to see if I could see the belt she said had come off and the man was down there looking also. She stuck her hand up under there and pointed at something I couldn't see because my eyes are pretty far from the end of my head where my nose it. But she told the man 'Do you see the shiny pulley wheel? That is where the belt goes that is right there.' The man finally saw what she was talking about. He told her 'I can fix that easy. Hold it up and I will go get a screw driver.' She didn't think that sounded like a thing she wanted to do so she said 'Or I could let it down and when you get back with the screw driver I could pick it back up because I am not going to stand here holding it up while you go look for a screw driver.' To which he replied 'How did it happen?' This time she did laugh out loud. She said 'I have no idea. It was working and then it wasn't working.' Such a silly man asking her that. He knows stuff just happens sometimes. I thought it was nice that she had put it back in the barn when it quit working because usually when she breaks stuff....I mean ....when things quit working she usually just leaves them where they quit. LOL!!! Humans are so funny.

Later they came out again but this time it was soak my Pretty Boy's leg in a bucket of epsom salts. I was going to squish the girl but she wouldn't let me. Here's how we were lined up. First the man, then the Pretty Boy, then the human girl then me, Precious. I wanted to see what the man was doing because I could see the human girl was just holding onto my horse but that man was doing something. The human girl said to him 'You are going to have to come back around here because I don't want to be a horse sandwich.' LOL!!! Horse sandwich that's pretty funny. The man came around and backed me, Precious, up but not before I stuck my head into the bucket of epsom salt and I remember now I do not like epsom salt water.
