Twas a dark and stormy night-

I met a gal today about her possibly doing a half lease of Mr. Louvin- an idea I'm totally excited about because there just aren't enough hours in my days anymore.

It was a beautiful day until 5 minutes or so before she arrived when it started sprinkling.. and that turned into a complete downpour right after she showed up. We waited it out and eventually got in a little ride/swim in the arena.

I hadn't been on him in a few weeks, the weather was rotten, the arena was a mess- none of that phased Louvin. He was a perfect gentleman. I rode him around a couple times then she hopped on him- it all went very nicely.

Hopefully we can get all the ducks lined up and Louvin'll have two gals to cater to his every need. It'd be good for him and i think he'll like it too.

On a sadder note, Louvin's namesake Charlie Louvin's health has apparently taken a turn for the worse. He's been fighting cancer for quite sometime and the current word on the streets makes one think the battle will likely soon be over. Poor ol Charlie Louvin, i wish him the best.

Cribbing weirdness and random pics

I pulled his miracle collar off him a week or so ago because I noticed a few white hairs up by his ears from it. I was thinking I would just leave it off for a few days or until someone complained about how aggravating his cribbing was... but he hasn't cribbed. Not at all. Cool, but strange. He does have fewer good cribbing spots in his stall now- he broke the water pipe to his neighbor's stall (jerk! that was such a mess), so wire was put over his door "window"... but there are still places he could crib if he wanted to. I'll take it though and be happy that my cribber is weird in a good way.

He's been doing pretty good all around, I really need to get some pics of me riding him to show off.

Here are some assorted pics that I've snapped since the last update-
Louvin got a super cute halter from a friend of mine for Christmas.

Louvin with cow and billions of birds.
Love that butt!
