I'm a BAAAD monkey!

this is dog who lies in paths. mom says he's my big brother. I say he's a wolf. he's ok for a wolf though. he just walks around and looks worried. I like to follow him around and poke him in the butt. that makes him very worried. well since the humans have incarcerated me I decided to entertain myself. dog who lies in paths came to my barn with mom the other day and I followed his butt around like usual, but this time I bit it! HAH HAH what a good trick! Mom got mad though. real mad. said something about being nice, he's an old man, yadda yadda yadda. I don't remember. but hey, I get points with the other horses cause I bit a wolf!!!

I didn't bite him hard, I just bit him enough to make him worry. so all you dogs lying in paths activists can just get off my back ok? I'm already imprisoned after all! Gah, you'd think I'd bitten a wolf or something!

I bit a WOOOOLF! I bit a WOOOOLF! neener neener neener, I bit a WOOOOLF!

stall rest

well the humans have decided to coop me up in my stall. the weather has been warm, the grass is coming back and they won't let me out! It's all that vet's fault. I was wrestling with Walter (a carthorse) and hurt my ankle again. well the vet man came and said that the people had to lock me up. I don't know how long my sentence is, but it hasn't been too bad. Mom comes every day and loves on me and grooms me and scratches all my favorite spots. then she puts boots on my front legs and walks me around to eat the clovers and fescues. (the vet man said to have the boots on all the time but I outsmarted him. I took off a boot and destroyed it. now I only have to wear them when I go out.) then we play with the magic thing. it's this green thing and when you kick it or push it with your nose grain comes out! it's really fun. almost as much fun as knocking over trash cans. almost.

Mom is also teaching me things. like "foot" and "wiggle your lip". lip wiggling is especially fun because you get cookies.

I have BIG strides!

So the weather was cold, and I've been out of work after trying to kill myself again. So I decided to be a real pain the past couple of days. BUT somehow Mom's man got some good pictures of me. Who knew I could move so big! How do you like my tail? I had to lay in the mud just right to get that color!

I discover Heaven

heaven is green grass in winter. I wanted to eat it all. Mom wouldn't let me. she kept moaning about colic something or other. most everything I wanna eat that she won't let me is because of that colic thing. Oh well, maybe we can go on another walk about to those back fields.

gah I was cute!!

Man, was I cute or what??? these are some baby pictures mom nicked from my breeder's website http://www.royalviewfarm.com . they called me Coco, but now I'm Maximus the brave. (or mighty or magnificent, or whatever mood I'm in at the time)

I find my profession

I want to be a farrier. I do not want to be a dressage horse. mom says that a Dressage horse is a honorable profession, but my passion lies in feet. My farrier has the most fascinating tools. he has snips and files and all sorts of wonderful things. I like to pick them up and figure them out. I like to watch him work. I want a pair of funny chaps too. Mom says that Farriers need thumbs, but John the Farrier says that I can be a farrier too. Mom says that everyone in my family were dressage horses, and that I'm going to be a dressage horse too. I say Phooey. Mom take me to Farrier school!

I loves big Women

I love Hannah. oh she's so beautiful. she's big and red and has socks and a blaze and her hooves are so lovely and her booty is big and it's red too and her tail is long and her muzzle is so fine and her blaze is so big and white and perfect. sigh. once she let me sniff noses with her. made my life. I just like to watch her. I could watch her all day. I wish I could groom her. sigh.

*Max still has no idea that he's only 14.2. good luck reaching those withers in one piece little monkey, she's the boss mare. Even Ukon respects her. But Max has the biggest crush on her. he stands on tip toe and arches his neck, hoping she'll notice him.*
