I’ve had a hard time writing about Asad’s hooves until now, because every time I trimmed them I saw how much damage there was to the white line where the laminae connect the inner structures of the hoof to the hoof wall. Instead of a thin smooth narrow white line, he had a lumpy erratic […]

Last night, I dreamt of Agua Fria. Last night, I dreamt of a friend, a friend from Pindi Pueblo I dreamt of a wild turkey on her nest full of eggs. She had covered herself with dry weeds to disguise herself At her back was a small struggling bosque along the river banks. In front, […]
When I requested that my brothers demonstrate that they could act in good faith, their response has been to get their lawyer to send me registered letters I need to sign for.

I’ve gradually added about half a cup of MSM to Asad’s medicinal mush. His joints all suddenly began clicking when he moved and and when I brushed him it sounded like I was running a brush over a piece of corrugated cardboard. I tried to do a little more ground work with him, but strapping […]
Asad’s gut issues started making themselves known the end of November (click here). Keeping him eating, drinking and moving around was a bit of a challenge. It turned out that he had been carrying around a cement mixer’s worth of Iowa mudstone and getting it out was making him feel miserable. He inevitably progressed to […]
