I am Precious and my horse's name is Pretty Boy. Those are our barn names. That is what we get called on an everyday basis. I am a Paint horse and my paper name is Skippers Precious. My Pretty Boy is a Red Roan Appaloosa horse who's paper name is Trouper. Anywho........I tell the house mouse about our life and what happens out here on the farm and in my big red barn so she can tell you. Well now you know so on with the stories.................

Another Important holiday....

Memorial Day.

We remember the horse's who have gone to battle and not returned. Like those ones used Cinco de Mayo.

And then we grazed. We have been put on a diet it seems. Only a couple of scoops of feed a day. Must be a shortage of the stuff. House mouse says not that it is because we are so very very big. She says she heard the humans say that there is enough pretty green grass out there that they need to cut back on the feed they are feeding us. OK that's fine with me but I should have been told. If I had been told I wouldn't have stood out there waiting and waiting and waiting when I could have been eating and eating and eating. I won't do that again.....well not till tomorrow anyway. We are creatures of habit you know. You can't just stop doing something one day that we have always done and expect us to know that we aren't going to be doing it again like we did before. You see there are certain times of day that we expect to see that human girl come out here and when she doesn't we wonder if we don't know what time it is but that can't be it since we don't have watches. Or we think she forgot us so I make a lot of noise but then she doesn't come out or if she does she says 'Stop that!'. I think lots of things none of them being that she is going to not come give me feed every time I stomp my foot. But there you go that's exactly what has happened. Still May and we are on our Summer feeding schedule already. hurmph! Given the chance I think my horse would snort on her.

Donnie said that he has a horse that he would like for me to meet. He says maybe if the human girl says it's ok that I can go over to his place and visit with their horse's for a while. I like to go visiting. I have seen his horse's they are a little smaller than my Mousey and very light in color. Sort of a buckskin color. And they don't have any spots like my horse and not color painted on them like me but they seem nice enough. There used to be three of them but now there are only two because one of them has gone to live in the pasture two pastures over with a little horse his same size. The two that are left there at Donnie's are going to pull a wagon someday. They are practicing now. But I am getting a little far away from where this story was going aren't I. What I think is what the humans are thinking is that me and that little fellow over there might get married. They want to introduce us. If we got married maybe I would have another baby horse. My human girl loves that and so do I. For now it is just talk so I guess I shouldn't get too excited. And anyway if I went over there to that farm to get married who would keep my Pretty Boy company? Do you think the human girl would come out to the barn and sleep with him?
