This horse NEEDED to get out! Silly Skeletor! 

Horse shaky plate somehow turned into a cat shaky plate for Queen Tiny.

Years ago. I had an old cat who would jump onto my washer when it was running. I guess that was her version of a "shakey plate"!😊

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 RU-vid. 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. 🙏🏻✨❤️

It's lunch and shaky plate at CC's place! Who's coming with me? 😊👍

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. 😄❤

For Skeletor & CC, I have set an alarm on a Sunday morning 😂

Nigel needs a little horn so you could have your own little unicorn!

Happy to hear a bit from Scarlett! I know everyone loves Nigel but I have a soft spot in my heart for her :)

Thumbs up 👍 for CC AND SKELATOR

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.

Sunday with Skeletor would be great! ❤🐎 Nigel is looking good and he knows it! 😂 Have a great day!

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!

Ahh Skeletor he's an amazingly beautiful horse ... love his busy mind. Yes dear a weekly visit with Skeletor his own show! Barns chores ... luv it! 🐎🌻

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. 😎🥰🎉

I’m up for Skelly updates on Sundays. He is such a lovely horse and lucky to have you to take care of and love him. ❤

Skeletor seems calmer in the big pen. I hope this works

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.

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 😊

YAY! Skeletor Sundays! I love that crazy boy.. 😆

I'd love it if you'd train a mustang or two! That would be so cool.

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?

Love the happy picture! He's obviously having a ball! 😏😄❤❤❤

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 :^)

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. 🥰

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 😊

I’m glad you found Skeletor. He’s got so much personality. I’d love to watch you work with mustangs too.

Skeletor Sunday. Perfect ❤

That's it call it "Skeletor Sunday". I will set my alarm.

❣💯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!

Skeletor Sunday---sounds like a Thing! Sure seems like a good plan to me. Sending healing vibes to his injury area.

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.

Hello all, just been late, and can wait to see Nigel, Tiny, Skeletor and and all other cuties....❤❤❤❤ and of course, "The Clever Girl"

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❤

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.

Skeleton Sunday updates are a great idea.

Skeletor is too smart for his own good. He seems to get bored and need something to entertain himself with. He needs one of those baby toys that engage the mind but don't require much movement. You know those things you attach to the crib that has various switches, buttons, colors, etc. It exercises their coordination, and engages the brain while they push and pull levers. Skeletor needs the horse version of that. Those frames of him rubbing his face on the ball to move it are precious. Its so sad that a horse that's so intelligent is in a body that prevents him from having a job for the time being. He does look happier being outside. I'm so glad you're going to do regular updates on Skeletor, and that you show us visually what's going on. The person that sold you that batch of grass hay with thistle was foolish to waste an opportunity to build a good reputation via your vlog......

Skeletor's Sunday shenanigans! what a bummer about that new grass hay, ugh hate when that happens!

can't wait to see

If you want to feel even better about keeping Skeletor turned out ... Dr Matthew McKay-Smith , medical editor of Equus magazine and very experienced veterinarian and endurance rider, prescribed for suspensory injuries to turn the horse out and LEAVE it turned out. Explosive behavior is what reinjures.

Our barn owner calls the producer when the hay she buys is not up to snuff and he replaces it

You know what you need to do with skeletor, just keep doing what your doing 😊 you take good care of all your animals!!❤

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!!❤😊

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! ❤❤❤

I have never minded thistles in hay. Horses seem to like them when dried and they have iron in them.

A big YES to Skeletor Sundays!

7:58 😮that horse eats better than I do!

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.

Yes to a Skeletor update on Sundays 👍

My favorite creator and favorite pony, the absolutely static!!! ❤❤

He's a smart horse and needs stimulating toys

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 are doing all the good young lady. You keep up the good works. Keep your wits about you. Keep on giving out that love.

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.

It's a picking win when they go in one spot! You go get that ball, Skeletor!

Yes…would love to see his progress. Would follow his updates !!!

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!

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!

Yeh. Skeletor Sundays. I could live with that😃

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!

Love your vlogs.

Looking forward to it.

Good Sunday morning CC!

Go Boy GO

❤Skeletor....he is one handsome intelligent 🐎 thank you CC for taking care of all the horses and allowing me to see a different side of the horse world.

He's such a handsome irresistible boy.. Bless him. ❤😊❤

Love skelly❤❤❤and sweet Nigel ❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

At the Clever Cowgirl... have al look at "comfrey salve for horses" that could be great for him!!!

Yucca root powder is a good anti inflammatory and also relieves pain.

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❤

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.

You sure make poop scooping fast and easy!😂 I wish i could work that fast, lol!🥰

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.

I watch a lot of youtube content but your channel has become my favorite. 😊

Wow bummer on the hay!! I would be making a phone call just to “let them know” 😬

Great ideas.

Great update - it will be awesome to see how Skeletor progresses! Thanks so much ❤

Don’t know about horses, but my sheep and goats love orchard grass hay.

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.

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

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!👏🏻👏🏻

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.

I feed CRP grass to all my horses and they are contented. My rehabs are gradually moved to larger paddocks according to their individual healing. I find when a horse is in a small pen or a box stall, they get wound up like a spring and then when they get out they over extend. You are on the right track.

They're all beautiful. I applaud you 👏 for all your efforts and caring for these beautiful and otherwise doomed horses. ❤🐴

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 !

Nigel is like the shinny squirrel. As soon as I see him I forget the plot…. if he shows up in every video somehow, I will not mind 🤍🦄🫶🏻

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.

❤🐎🐈🐕 Yay! Skeletor has a new hang out space to explore. Poor baby, he wants to be in the mix.😊 How's Scarlett these days?

Lunchtime at my place and I noticed this video had been added. Yippee! I get to graze along with Skeletor!

I was at the Midwest Horse Fair yesterday and got to stand on a TheraPlate, I knew what it was from this channel but was not expecting what it felt like! Very strange sensation. It was very strong. In fact another fairgoer commented it was stronger than a TheraPlate she had used in the past.

Skeletor is my favourite! I love watching his videos!

Skelator is a gental rock star! i hope we find ways to keep his awesome mind busy. that second opinion is by a dr that is in it for the right reasons!

I’m so old I remember my neighbor complaining that hay cost five dollars a bale. That was Massachusetts in the early 1950s

It's interesting to see the differences in hay from one part of the country to the other. Here alfalfa just doesn't grow well so we have to buy it from out west. Grass hay is all most horse owners feed most horses & our square bales are all around 50lbs. No one I know is set up to deal with large squares & I was disappointed to see that they don't appear to be segmented like small squares. I guess I assumed you'd be throwing a giant 2x2 "flake" over the fence or something. lol

Would love a weekly update, but please include Nigel. 😍

Would bandaging and icing be considered useful for Skeletor’s tendon injury as supplemental treatment?

Updates would be great! ❤

Hello there, cowgirl here in Michigan Sunday afternoon. I really enjoy the videos of all the horses love it❤

Love these dailies thanks so much 🙏

I love Nigel.
