Hi CC, thank you for your update on Skeletor. I’m fairly new to your channel and am absolutely loving your content. It’s wonderful to watch you with your horses, you’re so knowledgeable. ❤ I live in the uk, am a massive horse lover but can no longer ride due to terminal breast cancer. It was found too late and had already spread to my spine, ribs, femurs and liver. I’ve been fighting though and although I was only given 3-6 months to live in July 2016, I’m still here nearly 8 years later. I’m not very mobile as you can imagine and tend to live my dreams through others on TH-cam. Your way with your beautiful horses and your empathetic soul is very similar to how I was before I got sick. So I want to thank you for making my days brighter by allowing us to follow your amazing life journey and sharing your gorgeous horses with us. You’re an incredible human being. Never let anyone make you feel different. 🙏🏻✨❤️
@dreamcatcher3861 I, too, have recently found this channel - I can't seem to help myself, but sometimes reading the comments are as entertaining as the videos. Your comment touched me as deeply as watching this lady saving the world - one fluffy soul at a time. One thing I've always note about people is what they notice, what seems important when they walk in a room - what do they look for? (I'm 68, and I know that we see what we look for) What a lovely comment - even the words you chose made me smile, what an amazing woman you must be. I'm housebound in a wheelchair, so I totally get that your computer is your window to the world - I, too, used to have a fulfilling, rural life, and I live vicariously through videos. I like you, lady - I like feisty, strong, characters - and I wanted to touch base with you and let you know you'll be in my thoughts and prayers. I love watching these animals get a chance, to see them thrive - but all the happiness I felt by the end of this video could not compare to the thrill I felt when you said the dates. I believe in miracles - and you are one💥. Thank you for sharing your story. CONGRATULATIONS! 💖🙏xx
@@ColleenLytle-sq8tx Oh Colleen, what a beautiful message 🫶🏻 Thank you so much. I believe, very much, in lifting others. I can see you do too. Our priorities change massively when living with a life limiting illness, don’t they. I see things very differently now. What’s important is how you make people feel. Like you, I’m a people watcher. You learn so much from sitting back and listening don’t you? I believe CC does that with her fur babies. Thank you again for reaching out, it really made my day. I hope the sun shines inside your window, as much as it shines outside Colleen, you sound like a beautiful soul. 🌻🌻🌻💛
When i opened YouYube, I saw the thumbnail of a horse playing with a ball. I immediately thought…that would be great for Skelator…then I realized that it was Skelator 😂😂😂
I can sympathize with Skeletor. I've been incapacitated for several years due to multiple surgeries. There have been many times I thought I was losing my mind. 😄❤
CC, 0:00 you help so many of us who can not be with the horses we enjoy your authenticity, gentle training steps that consider where each horse is in levels of ability& tolerance. As have written, we enjoy all your activities with each horse. 🎉❤
Coming from the land of ice and snow I understand the long dark months and sub zero temps. The weather finally became too much. ❤My back child nonlonger do the jobs required to keep clear path ways off the property. My time of living in the wilderness was over. Moving was huge. Letting go was not so hard when in AZ snow storms melted by 10:00 the next morning. The suñy days were good for winter depression too. I did the best choosing AZ. Admittedly, I miss the fishing and wild open spaces. Wild life was every where. Not so here. 😊
I have no idea about horses but I am binge watching your channel... I am so interested in everything you do and so impressed by all the difficult decisions you constantly have to take.... You deserve millions of subscribers!
I should have done the same thing. I missed the premier so I had to be content with watching after the premier was done. Though 5 am on a Sunday would be rough.
Skeletors personality is so much like my boy!!! My guy is on stall rest as well after getting his foot stuck between the gate and post. Almost pulled his hoof off but is recovering great! Young smart busy minds like to frolic. He doesn’t understand bucking and loping in his stall is not earning him his turnout back any faster. He likes to work! His face is heart broken when he watches me ride my sister’s horse. Farrier comes this week and we will see how bruised it is internally. First time since the accident. Vet cleared him for light duty but since he doesn’t understand light work we are proceeding with caution. Hopefully both happy boys get back to work soon!
I once had a horse who had quite a bad ligament injury in her hip/back and I was told absolute complete stall rest for the first few months. She was a nutbar like skeletor with a busy mind who always needed to be on the move and she did not cope at all with being locked up in the tiny stable yard and went totally stir crazy. Every time she'd start to feel a bit better she'd literally throw herself around the yard/rear/jump etc and hurt herself again. I also notice she started to wood chew which was really unsual- was obviously super bored. Didn't matter how many toys, slow feeders etc she got. Ended up giving up after a few weeks and built her a temporary yard in the paddock that was slightly larger and could be moved around. At least that way she could pick at the grass (even when it was very short and I could scatter the hay around as well which you can't do on a sand base as safely) and started taking her on long gentle lead walks a few times a week to let her get out of the pen and she stopped the crazy behaviour. Probably took longer to heal that way, but she wouldn't have healed at all trying to keep her on stall rest only so you've gotta do whatever is going to work for the horse you have in the end. Despite a lot of people saying she may never come back to soundness, she ended up eventually being fine with a lot of rehab (took well over a year) and never had any recurrence of problems. Crossing fingers for Skeletor.
Just looking at Nigel after the Shaky Plate when he fell asleep - that first time - He did seem to be moving better and feeling better as he moved. Only a casual observation - am certainly no expert. . .Meanwhile Skeletor is so lucky to find himself with your careful changes to help his conditions.
I m very glad to know Skelator is improving. He is s beautiful horse. Being outside must relieve him of stress. Thank you for being such a loving horse Mom. I watched other videos before I settled upon yours and no one…. No one ….treats their horses better than you do. I am praying for Skelator to get healed totally.
Skeletor. Poor guy. He is in a classic Catch 22 with the need to exercise and the need to not exercise. Sadly, you can’t give him one of mother’s little helpers in his breakfast to take the edge off. 😮 😂 (Nod to the Stones). All of your fans know you are doing your very very best. 😎🥰🎉
Well it’s impossible not to be absolutely crazy about that little Nigel , but that doesn’t stand in the way of thoroughly enjoying the others , getting to know and love them.❤ who could fail to learn to love them all with that excellent knowledgeable young lady opening our hearts to them with her sharing of their histories,their present situations and their individual characters.❤
Loved this update! So glad Studman is feeling better. That is a glorious pile of poo! 😊 The shaky plate helping Nigel is great news. Skeletor looks so happy. Him & that play ball are hysterical. What a busy mind. You’re doing such a great job balancing all his needs. You live up to your name Clever Cowgirl 😊
I am an older woman with no children, but if I had a horse crazy young niece or daughter, I would make her watch a year’s worth of your videos before even thinking of getting her a horse.
I’d thought to myself ..This might have inspired me to (do a whole lot better in hs/ Or take some community college & Then see about Vet Tech school/ internship, training whatever). the aim being learning as much as possible. it’s a profession (I saw an article warning about this very thing a few months ago) that just like Veterinarians (!all that school & investment!) in the US currently these are very high burn out rate professions. that there was experience CC had there before investing and going into her horses makes such great sense!! in watching these, seeing what can go wrong (and or how to remedy this!) plus how observant one need be with their animals while that major chore of getting everything done, all chores in a timely fashion is invaluable. these would be super for a school class, just for .. kids who like animals. so many of us don’t live in Montana and that’s a treat to see too!
I agree. I on my husbands webpage I am 71 and It is so interesting to see what CC does in a day . Owning a horse is a big responsibility and ALOT of work !
@@10317 yes!! like CC ! these demonstrate the need to be able to cough up $ for a vet pretty much anytime. there’s a big one. it gives one a realistic view in terms of can I pull that off (and get my chores done).
It's amazing to me, that 100 years ago, everyone only had horses & were dependant upon them - before automobiles - now people have no idea how to even care for them & no idea that horses have personality!!! I know that I'm learning slot.
Hi Clever. Skeleton is THAT boy...I am laughing.He keeps one guessing. Optimistic. Playful. The uh oh moments. The uphill progress with question marks at times. He is that boy who will keep.YOUR mind busy. Carry on❤
Ok, I dont do subscriptions or suchlike on here, but I have to admit, that with each new video, and there are a lot of them, I become more interested in what this lady does, how, and the explanations of why. I have 2 horses of my own, Also *rescues*, one had a big hole in her neck the other was nearly killed by the *rescue* I took them too.... SO I bought them back off there straight away. Its been 5 years now, I'd never done anything with horses before and so, everyday is still a school day, and I think Im gonna let this lady be one of my teachers as I do most everything on my own with them. So, if this helps, Raise revenue or whatever on the new, none thrifting budget plan Ill subscribe. Thanks CC for all the info and , if there is a video here on just what your *program* is(very roughly speaking of course) that you run your horses through then could someone point it out to me?
@@TheCleverCowgirl ,Thanks CCG...forgot to say, your now my one and only subscription to anything anywhere on the Internet, so just keep up and doing what you do, the way you do it and giving us a good understanding, grounding and ideas. Thanks! Im currently dealing with what I think appears to be Laminitis in one of my girls for the very first time, after having moved lands, jobs, home, everything. I guess the grass truly was greener on the other side of my countries borders. Damn!
Love all these updates!! I don't know how you manage to do everything that you do. Taking care of the horses is a full-time job, not to mention all the work you put into YT. You certainly don't let any grass grow under your feet!!! Love the parting shot of Nigel. He's looking good and feeling good. 🥰
Maybe Skeletor could learn some silly pet tricks. I used to do volunteer Therapy Dog visits, and taught the dogs lots of goofy stuff to make people laugh, and relax. Was a great bonding experience for the dogs and I as well.
If you decide to ever make some merch, could you slap a pic of Nigel on the front of a hoodie or cap...something like that?? My GAWD he's the cutest thing I've ever seen!! I'm obsessed.
Skelly is a conundrum! Good luck on solving it 😊 I'm sure once or twice a week on the shaky plate is good for Nigel, help to loosen and build up his muscles, especially after winter. Looking forward to seeing Skelly each Sunday 😊
Owww Skelly! I can't imagine how you manage to do all the chores and also keep up with frequent updates. Please make sure you still have the time to relax :^)
❣💯Customized food plans for each horse's health are complicated as one size doesn't fit all. Sorry there was so much thistle in the new grass hay that was overpriced at $300 for a truck load. A lot of people's food is contaminated, too; I'm never sure if the "organic" I buy is actually organic, which has anti-oxidant salvestrols. Great intro!
FRANKINCENSE ESSENTIAL OIL , ( for his size about 17 to 23 drops ) in a rub w/ carrier oil , applied once daily for 1 week, may help to regrow the ligaments quicker. No bandage. I did this on myself , ankle area, and doctor's couldn't see where damage was !
Very interesting! I take Boswellia Extract (which is Frankincense - same resin) because it is good for joints and tissue healing. I'm a human massage therapist and I've never heard of using Frankincense oil topically to heal ligaments - just for aromatherapy purposes, so thanks for this info. Of course it was also one of the gifts that the three Maji brought to Jesus after he was born so we know this resin has to be pretty amazing stuff!!!
Although its been a few years since I bought hay I remember always making sure the hay bales were cut from the middle of the hay fields, rather than the edges where thistles and other harmful weeds grew. Today, with people actually cultivating hay for cattle and other 4 legged farm animals I would think good grass hay would be easier to find! I said all that to say this: I would find another supplier if I were you!
Sunshine and warmer temperatures I think would do anyone good, let alone Skelator, even though you said it was a little chilly. He seemed really calm and enjoying his hay. He is such a beautiful horse. Nigel is looking good too! They all were brushed and got rid of that extra hair too! Thanks for all you do, I know it means so much to them, as it does to us❤
For Skeletor suggestion from a 75 year old cowgirl/equestrian. For puffiness. Cold water rinse 5 to 15 minutes twice a day and standing leg wraps on all 4. Also, when he swells after exercise rinse with Absorbine Veterinary Topical Analgesic & Antiseptic Horse Liniment. He appears to be a lovely horse with lots of character and stamina. Good luck with him. I enjoy your youtube page.
Whenever I watch your vlogs, I learn something new - about their feed and proper care for horses. I also confess I always want to become a volunteer “horse helper” and muck out areas, distribute feed, and do whatever“ chores” to give you a hand! You are very productive;you get a great deal done in a day- you must sleep soundly!👏🏻👏🏻
I really enjoy watching and learning about horses. Thank you for sharing your days with us. I find it all fascinating and watching you with your horses. I know I get to see the best care possible because you really get to know what their needs are based on each horse. You are such a strong lady, and your horses always seem happy!
Grass hay is 'normal' hay here in the UK; alfalfa fired my horses and ponies up like nobody's business and too easily tipped the ponies over into laminitis territory. I had a little mule who really thrived on 50/50 grass hay and barley straw, as it had so much more fibre. I never bought a variety-specific hay, just permanent pasture or upland traditional hays, so I would expect to find the odd thistle here and there, as well as nettles and other acceptable pasture 'weeds'; and never minded as (to me) it shows it's not been sprayed and was a genuine permanent pasture hay, not a monoculture grass crop. Some of my animals actually liked the thistles and nettles, and picked them out!
Superb job with skeletal and Nigel. You can see the improvement even though we only see them a little love, your videos, and the excellent narrative that you give us
Your knowledge of vitamins and minerals that you put into the horses food in their rehab journey is very interesting . 🤔 The food and supplements you give Skeletor along with lots of pasture rest will help the ligament to heal. That shaky plate . Loosening muscle and coordination plus circulation. Who would have thought 😮 but it was a great idea and perfect for you to slip into your horses rehabilitation program. Nigel will probably live longer and will certainly be more comfortable. Do you still have Primrose? Or did she find a new home.
Skeletor is amazingly comfortable being handled for a Horse who can't stay still, a little beauty. Good to hear Studman is doing well too. And little Nigel looking so nimble.
Skeletor has to BE FREE!! His mind has to be free of all kinds of things!! Just let him do what he needs to do!! My Uncle and I had the same situation!! Moonlight had the same issue!! We let him outside and played, it took weeks bur it FINALLY WORKED!! Things will get better with him!! Keep Praying!!❤😊
We run a black angus farm here in Tennessee & grow straw & hay for cattle & horse farmers, etc. That hay, full of thistle, should've been no more than 8 bucks a square! 12.50?? No way!! I wouldn't buy from them again, either! That was a rip off UGH! 😫😡
I love these updates. I don’t get to comment much because I’m usually watching while doing something. Like now, I’m bagging up freshly dried oregano. Per usual I always learn something while getting to see your beautiful heard progress.
You’re such a good shepherd of the four legged member in our lives. You always give all of the information anyone would need to know in case they see something questionable in their animals. Thank you for being the person you are, and never change to please anyone. Take care and be well all.
Glad you are having such sweet weather. Love these videos where you go in to details about your care program. That is mostly very new to me since I have not had a horse in a few years. Your research and deep commitment to complete care of individual horses is commendable and NOT COMMON.
There is a chance that Skeletor will grow out of his juvenile arthritis. There's no guarantee, but I know it can happen, so let's hope for the best for this beautiful horse...
Horse shaky plate somehow turned into a cat shaky plate for Queen Tiny.
I think Queen Tiny would call it: Purring Machine ;-))
Hi CC, thank you for your update on Skeletor. I’m fairly new to your channel and am absolutely loving your content. It’s wonderful to watch you with your horses, you’re so knowledgeable. ❤
I live in the uk, am a massive horse lover but can no longer ride due to terminal breast cancer. It was found too late and had already spread to my spine, ribs, femurs and liver. I’ve been fighting though and although I was only given 3-6 months to live in July 2016, I’m still here nearly 8 years later.
I’m not very mobile as you can imagine and tend to live my dreams through others on TH-cam. Your way with your beautiful horses and your empathetic soul is very similar to how I was before I got sick. So I want to thank you for making my days brighter by allowing us to follow your amazing life journey and sharing your gorgeous horses with us.
You’re an incredible human being. Never let anyone make you feel different. 🙏🏻✨❤️

Skeleton Sunday updates are a great idea.
Owww Skelly! I can't imagine how you manage to do all the chores and also keep up with frequent updates. Please make sure you still have the time to relax :^)
Hello there, cowgirl here in Michigan Sunday afternoon. I really enjoy the videos of all the horses love it❤
Would love a weekly update, but please include Nigel. 😍
We love the Skeletor updates. And all you do Clever Cowgirl!!! ❤❤❤❤ From Gen in Australia 🦘 🌏
Yes...Sunday is Skelator Day!! So glad Studman has gotten better. He gave us a scare with something I'd never heard of...sand in his tummy! ❤❤❤
❣💯Customized food plans for each horse's health are complicated as one size doesn't fit all. Sorry there was so much thistle in the new grass hay that was overpriced at $300 for a truck load. A lot of people's food is contaminated, too; I'm never sure if the "organic" I buy is actually organic, which has anti-oxidant salvestrols. Great intro!
Love the happy picture! He's obviously having a ball! 😏😄❤❤❤
Skeletor Sunday---sounds like a Thing! Sure seems like a good plan to me. Sending healing vibes to his injury area.
Everyone should feed the algorithm. 🤖 Nice video. I enjoy the information. 💜💜💜
Skeletor Sunday. Perfect ❤
Thanks!
Thank you!
I love Nigel.
FRANKINCENSE ESSENTIAL OIL , ( for his size about 17 to 23 drops ) in a rub w/ carrier oil ,
applied once daily for 1 week, may help to regrow the ligaments quicker. No bandage. I did this on myself , ankle area, and doctor's couldn't see where damage was !
Very interesting! I take Boswellia Extract (which is Frankincense - same resin) because it is good for joints and tissue healing. I'm a human massage therapist and I've never heard of using Frankincense oil topically to heal ligaments - just for aromatherapy purposes, so thanks for this info. Of course it was also one of the gifts that the three Maji brought to Jesus after he was born so we know this resin has to be pretty amazing stuff!!!
Although its been a few years since I bought hay I remember always making sure the hay bales were cut from the middle of the hay fields, rather than the edges where thistles and other harmful weeds grew. Today, with people actually cultivating hay for cattle and other 4 legged farm animals I would think good grass hay would be easier to find! I said all that to say this: I would find another supplier if I were you!
Wow bummer on the hay!! I would be making a phone call just to “let them know” 😬
Sunshine and warmer temperatures I think would do anyone good, let alone Skelator, even though you said it was a little chilly. He seemed really calm and enjoying his hay. He is such a beautiful horse. Nigel is looking good too! They all were brushed and got rid of that extra hair too! Thanks for all you do, I know it means so much to them, as it does to us❤
That's it call it "Skeletor Sunday". I will set my alarm.
Maybe I will set the premiere time to a more reasonable hour 🤣
@@TheCleverCowgirl No need, I have no problem watching your wonderful channel. Never been into horses, but you have changed my mind. Thank you.❤
For Skeletor suggestion from a 75 year old cowgirl/equestrian. For puffiness. Cold water rinse 5 to 15 minutes twice a day and standing leg wraps on all 4. Also, when he swells after exercise rinse with Absorbine Veterinary Topical Analgesic & Antiseptic Horse Liniment. He appears to be a lovely horse with lots of character and stamina. Good luck with him. I enjoy your youtube page.
You know what you need to do with skeletor, just keep doing what your doing 😊 you take good care of all your animals!!❤
Awww Skeletor, I hope you're feeling a little happier buddy ❤❤❤
I’m glad you found Skeletor. He’s got so much personality. I’d love to watch you work with mustangs too.
Whenever I watch your vlogs, I learn something new - about their feed and proper care for horses. I also confess I always want to become a volunteer “horse helper” and muck out areas, distribute feed, and do whatever“ chores” to give you a hand! You are very productive;you get a great deal done in a day- you must sleep soundly!👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks CC🌻
❤🐎🐈🐕 Yay! Skeletor has a new hang out space to explore. Poor baby, he wants to be in the mix.😊 How's Scarlett these days?
Amazing!
I really enjoy watching and learning about horses. Thank you for sharing your days with us. I find it all fascinating and watching you with your horses. I know I get to see the best care possible because you really get to know what their needs are based on each horse. You are such a strong lady, and your horses always seem happy!
Thank You❤ Great care for Skeletor and All the horses! ❤ your videos
Grass hay is 'normal' hay here in the UK; alfalfa fired my horses and ponies up like nobody's business and too easily tipped the ponies over into laminitis territory. I had a little mule who really thrived on 50/50 grass hay and barley straw, as it had so much more fibre.
I never bought a variety-specific hay, just permanent pasture or upland traditional hays, so I would expect to find the odd thistle here and there, as well as nettles and other acceptable pasture 'weeds'; and never minded as (to me) it shows it's not been sprayed and was a genuine permanent pasture hay, not a monoculture grass crop. Some of my animals actually liked the thistles and nettles, and picked them out!
Superb job with skeletal and Nigel. You can see the improvement even though we only see them a little love, your videos, and the excellent narrative that you give us
That giant ball looked like a good idea, but seeing how Skeletor is so aggressive with it, he's at risk for a broken front leg. It's freaking me out.
Your knowledge of vitamins and minerals that you put into the horses food in their rehab journey is very interesting . 🤔
The food and supplements you give Skeletor along with lots of pasture rest will help the ligament to heal.
That shaky plate . Loosening muscle and coordination plus circulation. Who would have thought 😮 but it was a great idea and perfect for you to slip into your horses rehabilitation program.
Nigel will probably live longer and will certainly be more comfortable.
Do you still have Primrose? Or did she find a new home.
Yes! I think I’m going to keep her a few more years
Skeletor looking good and thanks for show Nigel at the end. Take care
Skeletor is amazingly comfortable being handled for a Horse who can't stay still, a little beauty. Good to hear Studman is doing well too. And little Nigel looking so nimble.
He was handled a lot while he was being nursed back to heath initially, helps in the long run for sure.
Love you and your children! Keep up the good work!
Yes…would love to see his progress. Would follow his updates !!!
Skeletor has to BE FREE!! His mind has to be free of all kinds of things!! Just let him do what he needs to do!! My Uncle and I had the same situation!! Moonlight had the same issue!! We let him outside and played, it took weeks bur it FINALLY WORKED!! Things will get better with him!! Keep Praying!!❤😊
Yay Nigel!!!
We run a black angus farm here in Tennessee & grow straw & hay for cattle & horse farmers, etc. That hay, full of thistle, should've been no more than 8 bucks a square! 12.50?? No way!! I wouldn't buy from them again, either! That was a rip off UGH! 😫😡
It's a picking win when they go in one spot! You go get that ball, Skeletor!
I love these updates. I don’t get to comment much because I’m usually watching while doing something. Like now, I’m bagging up freshly dried oregano.
Per usual I always learn something while getting to see your beautiful heard progress.
I think you're great! And I love how you share about the horses you are caring for and rehabilitating. Good on you!
A big YES to Skeletor Sundays!
Updates would be great! ❤
You’re such a good shepherd of the four legged member in our lives. You always give all of the information anyone would need to know in case they see something questionable in their animals. Thank you for being the person you are, and never change to please anyone. Take care and be well all.
I learned some new skills about hey, thanks for sharing ❣️
Everyone is looking so good!
At least it's not moldy and full of sticks and rocks or dead animals.❤
Lunchtime at my place and I noticed this video had been added. Yippee! I get to graze along with Skeletor!
Yes to a Skeletor update on Sundays 👍
You sure make poop scooping fast and easy!😂 I wish i could work that fast, lol!🥰
Glad you are having such sweet weather. Love these videos where you go in to details about your care program. That is mostly very new to me since I have not had a horse in a few years. Your research and deep commitment to complete care of individual horses is commendable and NOT COMMON.
There is a chance that Skeletor will grow out of his juvenile arthritis. There's no guarantee, but I know it can happen, so let's hope for the best for this beautiful horse...
Love your vlogs.
He is looking great
lovely
