This morning started like any other. Got up to get Wes off to work, then out to feed. Feeding time is around 6:30 a.m. UNTIL..........................................
I head out and fix feed and carry it out to the gate. I look out over the corral and notice who is up. Then notice someone is napping under the shelter of the barn extension. Hummm, looks like Bo. Look over at Bo and Pistols area, there is Pistol standing next to BELLA????? Bella is in there? Ok this isn't looking good. There are a few horses in there with Pistol. Walk over to Bo, he gets up, stretches and avoids me, of course. Afterall I am the mean one that medicates him, messes with his shoulder and such. Check fence of colt corral. No fence down. Walk into barn........aaahhhhh ok so I forgot to secure the gate and one or both of the boys got it open which was an open invitation for everyone else to come in and for Bo to go out. Pistol didn't go out............SHOCK!
Run everyone out. Close that gate. Go around open the other gate, forgetting Pistol is in there so now Pistol has strolled out. Ok so plan B.
Go get hay, throw out to herd. One thing the boys will come for is their hay. Screw the feed, they want alfalfa. Ok go get alfalfa and close outside gate and go back into barn with alfalfa and I have both boys following closely..............HAY!!!!! Open gate back up and they go back inside. Give them hay, give them their feed which they could care less about, close gate, SECURE GATE and finish feeding the others.
I honestly could have left them out with everyone. They all get along great but I wanted to boys to get their breakfast. Guess I will let them out this weekend for some romping time.
This is how my morning started out.
Of course I am trying to get the boys situated all the while Cat is in the round pen bucking and pitching a fit cause I haven't given her feed as fast as she would like for me to. She is very food oriented. Of course if you saw her when she first came to Jennifer's you would understand why she is this way. Everyone finally got everything they needed this morning and honestly it only took me about a half hour to get everything accomplished.
I wish it were spring.
It is soooooo muddy out where the horses are but on the up side THE SUN IS OUT!!!!! Lets hope we dry out some today. Wish I could get Cat incorporated in with the herd but that is not happening yet. I find it is taking longer each time I get a newby to get them in with the herd. I figure she will be out with them by summer. LOL. She takes no shit but I don't want Trick running her either, or the others for that matter. Have I mentioned I can't wait for spring??? Which reminds me I have to have the caslicks taken out of Cat.
Wes made Reindeer poop last night. It was really good. I got home and it was already made, he was just bagging it up in a ziplock. So later on during tv time down in the family room we had reindeer poop. LOL. He cracks me up.
Maggie is as big as a house, still hasn't whelped. I keep her in during the day because she is getting to close.
The coyotes have been really close lately and I am seriously thinking about seeking out someone to eradicate them, but it would have to be someone I know. They need to be gone or move on.
Someone killed a big cat only a few miles from our place a week or two ago. This is not a good thing. I don't want them around either. So future foaling will be taking place in the barn, which it usually does anyway but now it will for sure. No foals will be born in the pasture.
Well gotta get to it so more later.
This day has to get better.........................But I doubt it will.............................
