Hhmm

Went to the barn yesterday first thing in the morning to put Chiclet out for the day and a very strange thing happened. Opened the stall door and Chiclet ameadly turned his butt to me.....at first i was so insulted and puzzled then I couldn't beleive after all this time I must have done something wrong to him. It bothered me all day I thought about everything I did and didn't do with him the day before and couldn't come up with anything other then I haven't been spending as much time as I should with him. So I spent 3 hours with him Sunday afternoon paying and riding. I had a really tough time getting connected online. I never really felt like I got it totally. When I got on to ride for some reason I was nervous maybe because I didn't really have my horses mind with me. Played the passenger game and just let Chiclet go where he wanted it ended up being a great ride and Chiclet seem to be thinking more. Offered him grass a few times but he was thinking and didn't want to eat. When I got off I realized that Chiclet lost a shoe while I was riding......crap!!.....this turned into a whole new issue for me. Called my farrier Pete who is not just my farrier he's a good friend too. Here is my issue Pete is not good about showing up when he's scheduled to and I've been putting up with this for years and now that I don't have time for waiting it's becoming a real problem for me. I pretty much wasted my day off today waiting for him to come and guess what my poor horse still dosn't have a shoe on. What to do what to do....I know what I have to do just sucks that I have to find a new farrier.
