Für alle meine deutschen Freunde

Das ist ein Film von meinem Pferd, Daisy. Viel Spass beim anschauen!

A video for my friends and family in German-I know I didn't hold the camera still, I hope you don't get motion sickness!
Remember, I have a little post below, too!

7 Interesting Facts

I was tagged by Allen to write 7 facts about me. I'm not that interesting, but okay, here it is:

1. I was born here in America, but my 2 brothers and my parents were all born in Germany, so I speak fluent German
2. I love to sing, especially in the barn (lol) were no one hears me(always slightly embarressing when someone comes up behind me suddenly, and I don't know they're there, and I'm singing)
3. I'm taking French in school, and I really like it. My favorite subjects are French, Social Studies, and Orchastra...and English
4. My favorite christian band is "Delirious?"
5. I have (if I counted right) 12 cousins on my mom's side, and 2 on my dad's side
6. I've been playing the violin since 3rd grade, and I was recently selected for All County Orchastra
7. When I was little, and my mom would take me to Wegmans, I called it "cookie" because I knew you could get free cookies there. :-)

I'll tag, um....hmmm, Misha, ummmm.....I think everyone I know has been tagged. Oh, my penpal, Alli (if you're still blogging) and that's it. If you haven't been tagged, just pretend I tagged you, and post. ;-)

I will post another post soon-a video, in German. (the picture is of Daisy and I on Wednesday, or Thursday)

Check it out!

Hello, I just wanted to say, if you have the time, maybe you'd like to check out my dog, Abby's, blog! She'd LOVE some comments (belive me). Her blog is at http://abbydogdays.blogspot.com
Have a good rest of the day!

I didn't Order a Beaver!

Do you see these trees?!? I honestly thought the first time I saw a tree so bare of wood that it was from a wild animal! But no, it's my horse. Apparently, she's so bored during the day that, to try to find something to do, she chews trees! Do you see how bare these trees are of their bark?! I know other people who have horses have this problem, too, and those horse's have companions, so it's not because of being lonesome. But she's killing all the trees! I was wondering what I could do to help her; get her a toy in her stall, a ball in her paddock, etc. Well, while reading a book called Horse Miracles, I found a story about a horse that had been cribbing, wood chewing, and weaving for years. Cribbing is when a horse puts it's open mouth on wood, or plastic, or metal, and makes a coughing sound, because it's trying to breathe in the dust of the material. It's bad for them. Wood chewing is plain wood chewing, what Daisy is doing, and weaving is when a horse is so bored in it's stall that they swing their head back and forth, and this is bad for them (I can't remember how, though, lol). This horse that did these things had a stable mirror put in it's stall, an acrylic mirror, and within a month it stopped doing all these things because it was so occupied with looking at it's mirror image! So, I googled stable mirrors, and I came up with this site: www.stable-mirrors.co.uk.
I really like the way the site looks, and the idea of the stable mirror. Though they don't seem to ship to the US, I'm going to see if I can find an acrylic mirror some where that I can put in Daisy's stall-maybe it'll help! Sorry this post was so long, but I found this subject interesting. Have a great weekend!
