Hello!

I'm told the world loves to blog.  I'm typically one late to the party when it comes to technology, for instance, I still don't have Internet on my phone.  I'd love to be able to use horses as my main mode of transportation.  And I could go on, but the thing is, I suddenly been hit with something I need to share somehow and spilling my guts here seems like the way to do it.  This way, I don't annoy my friends with the incessant stories (or tell them a million times), and those who could care less don't have to read it!

George around 2 months old.
Here's the deal, I'm a first year law student, actually in the middle of finals right now, so really almost a second year student, and I have this horse George.  George is actually short for Curious George, which is what I started to call her as a baby when she was born on the horse farm I worked at before law school.  And yes, I said her and she; George is a filly, which makes conversations highly entertaining at times.  People drop into conversations, think I'm talking about a potential boyfriend, and then suddenly a comment about a tail or she did XYZ this weekend gets priceless looks!  Well, George went and did it this time; George got an abscess, that went hay-wire and caused a bone infection, that resulted in having 1/3 of her coffin bone removed and did this all as I was starting exams. 

My goal is to share this interesting journey with you, of course, I need to get through finals first.  I'll also try and provide some of the back stories to this little filly and how she got the nickname George, her personality fits it perfectly, it also fits her registered name perfectly, but I won't share that right now it's part of the grander, larger story.  My guess is most of my readers will already know it, and those that don't, well, stick with George, that's all she really gets called anyways.  Hopefully you'll find some humor in the dumb things my horse has done, maybe you'll learn something.  My warning now is, if you don't like horses, or people talking about there horses, give up now.
