Horse Nickname

Awareness of the outside world, local version. Last night’s low was above freezing. Yay. Crossing fingers that this weekend was the last time to drain the barn water for a while. Bring on the warm!

We give nicknames to horses.

Have you ever had a horse give you a nickname?

Milton calls me Chuckie.

As in the horror doll from the movies, although Milton & I use this alternate spelling.

Milton finds my level of enthusiasm disturbing.

“I went charging in. Event horse in the rain! … I came in too hot.” [Someday This Will Be Amusing To Look Back On]

He’s not wrong.

“Bubba wanted to know who dropped a ferret down my pants. He was okay with it, but he did notice.” [A & B & Me, Show Report, Alabama State Games]

Onwards!
