Well another few days and another blog. Last Wedneday I picked up 6 horse heads and three pigs heads and have set about getting them ready to flog on.

I cleared the cheek meat and throat meat - which had to be done within twenty four hours if I wanted to give themeat to a friend with big russian hounds. Oh did my back tell me how out of shape I am for bending over dead stuff.

Besides the removing the extra meat off the horses before the cleaning process could begin I also had to deface the piggies. Oh My the amount of face that a pig has. Pigs skulls have alot of fat and strange shapped skulls - I can only hope that I didn't put any noticable cuts in any of them trying to get off as much as possible.

The cleaning process started on Thursday (as well as taking the meat to the hounds) and I am determined not to mess with them for at least 7 if not 8 weeks. I have another five in the finishing stages of cleaning for the next few shows. This lot that just went in is for the halloween shows.

The pony skulls tend to lose their teeth easier and it is amazing the difference in the teeth placement between the horses and ponies. I wonder if that might be a way to id the breed of horse/pony in the skulls.

Oh also have dried a horse neck cape (neck mane and ears) Should make a great addition to the stall as well as the tails which sold so well at the last fair I know have some 11 more (in black, dark brown, sorrel, white/beige, blackandwhite, medium brown and black/sorrel).

If anyone reading this has a request or suggestion let me know - I do need comments to help inspire new ideas in what I can offer the public.
