Get a Friesian! Warhorses I’ve been told.
Percherons i believe were used for similar...I may be wrong


It looks like Friesians are Calypso-sized and Percherons are fawkin' yuge. Like a ton yuge. They can go through some oats, I reckon, but he wouldn't care if you rode him.


e/t/a: I always give Telly kind of short shrift. He's actually a touch bigger than Calypso was. Pushing 17 hands and maybe 1400 pounds.


Also, if the horse is free, it is priced right.
 
Calypso and Geezer Poodle were both rescues. Telly was Calypso's bud at the place they came from, so she got a two-fer. Baby Poodle was the result of his mother's slutty behavior - wasn't in the plans. He and Telly are about the same age (24). Horses are all over Out West, and the older ones are unwanted quickly.


The Amish take reasonable care of their livestock, but they are work engines and not pets by a long shot.

Yeah.... but even the best engine needs maintenance ....
 
Telly (Calypso's buddy and Ethyl's victim) will happily stand and allow himself to be brushed. Calypso would, too, if I were the one doing it. The landlady doesn't groom them. They're all short-haired so it really doesn't matter much. At this time of year, Telly has mud where he rolls on the ground and grinds it in.


I bet he'd stand still for a bath, too.
Thems is good animals!
 
Relativistic effects excluded, time is a constant independent variable.

Relativistically speaking, time is not constant. Or is this subject taboo here in the ol' spoon? :unsure:

Maybe I'm just wasting time on the subject, dealing with the time change, while the dog says it's time to get up... ;)🤣
Doesn’t time speed up or slow down in a black hole??

Askin for a friend of course….
 
Time change day - bah! Humbug!
Not a fan of losing an hour.
slept 8, up 1 & already feeling the need for a nap! ☹️

Yasssss!

Is that good or bad???

I find tasks like that meditative for me and massage therapy or circulation stimulating for the animal.

Up and at 'em time.
Enjoy your Sunday, all! 🥞 :coffee:
Are you back home L2?

I just chainsawed and rolled that tree out of the trail that was blocking our way the other day.
 
Is people pleasing really about putting aside your needs for other’s wants? I did that hoping my first marriage would work out. I learned from my second and best wife to put my needs first and discuss if we had a conflict. Amazingly we always made things work out so both of us were content or happy.
That's always the best way. Love and respect! 🤗😘
 
I think so also. Heavy Cavalry horses when that was thing and later caisson and cannon haulers.

My wife’s grandfather was in one of the last true horse cavalry units, the 1st Cav, before WWII. When Pearl was bombed, they traded in their horses for Mech, and he started his island hopping journey till wounded in the Solomon Islands.
The first team.

My hat is off to your gramps in law.
