Well its going to be nice again today and going to be a really long day for me. After seeing radar last night and hearing what the weather had to say I put Peaches and Josie up. I opened the big gate to the pasture so the pasture horses could come in and with that let Pasha, McKenna and Cat out in the big pasture if they wanted to go..........they did. They kept saying "possible severe weather" so I wanted to make sure everyone was safe. OK................so I get up this morning............go outside to feed.............and we got NOTHING! Yep that's right a big fat NOTHING. I still left things the way they were though because I wasn't going to take any chances throughout today. The sky doesn't look that good. At least its cooler.
Formulating things in my brain on the boys area and the arena. Still in the planning process but will take it to the next step soon. Well as soon as we have time. We have everything to do it, just not the time right now. Still figuring out how to join the small arena to the boys area as well as having another gate to enter it from where the other horses are so that if I want to work the boys we can go straight into the arena or if I want to work someone else I can close it off from the boys and take someone else in from the other side (pasture side). It will work. I need my 2nd brain (Wes) to work out the bugs in the plan because as we all know my plans are way better in my head than they are in actuality. LOL.
Ok so on to the subject of the horses........shocker.....who knew this would end up there........
I am really full up right now and don't really want any more horses but there is this one that I have been watching for months. Her name is Willow and she is a bay and she is at a rescue and she has the sweetest eyes and face I have ever seen. She just looks like she could curl up in your lap. She was abandoned last winter at someone's place. JUST SAD! Pisses me off. Anyway she is apparently still very trusting and very forgiving because you can't tell it by the way she acts. Yes she is grade and no I don't fall for every single one I see but I'd like to adopt this one. There is just something about her. Not sure what it is but she is always on my mind. She isn't emaciated or anything, she looks fantastic, nice build and would be a nice riding horse. (not like I don't have plenty right?) Its not something I plan to do right now though. As I said in a previous post............I have enough. I have so much to do with everyone and right now I am having riding withdrawals. I want so badly to ride Peaches.
Speaking of Ms Peaches........she decided I wasn't putting food in her feeder fast enough yesterday and well she was going to turn her big ass around and get nasty. We put a stop to that real quick and she is fixing to get a huge lesson when she gets turned out to pasture. She doesn't need to be grained. She has gotten FAT. She hangs with Josie (as all the new ones do) and I haven't put her out to pasture because of Trick and the fact that I want her in the round pen to work with.
Royal (our newest addition born to Belle) is growing like a weed. She is doing well out in the pasture and LOVES being a part of the herd. She looks like crap because of her shedding. Well crap may be a strong word.......she looks bizarre. Her attitude seems to be improving. She thinks she is a BIG GIRL. Her half sister looks FABULOUS! Can't wait to see her all blue roan'd out.
Everyone else is spoiled as well and doing great. Not a one of them has to work for a darn thing. But they bring me so much joy and peace. Its nice to sit out and watch the horses in the evenings, visit with them and love on them. They all stand there for me to put fly spray on them to. Couldn't ask for a better herd of horses. I really need to get pictures updated, start pulling them up one by one and setting them up after grooming and take some really good pictures. Life is good on the farm. Heck life is good everywhere.
Jennifer and Jamie got all moved back from Illinois. The state where weird bizarre people reside. I am sure it was like they left the twilight zone. They are sssoooooo glad to be back. We had dinner again last night over at their house. As usual it was a blast. We ate, then went to mess with the horses and feed them. I still have a few favorites of her herd. LOL. I am sure when she reads this she will laugh and I am sure she could name at least one of them.
There is a very slim chance that we could end up with a big gelding that looks almost just like Trick. Now wouldn't that be cool for Wes and I to have matching paints? I doubt it will happen though. I am sure they will want to much for him and well its not someone that will do me any favors as I found out when I needed help moving Savannah. Oh well.
Its going to be a toss up now on who my favorite is to ride. The 2 that are going to be my "go to" horses are Trick (obviously) and Peaches. I just KNOW that she will be GREAT!!
Kai..........well Mr. Kai has just come into his own so well. He is so much bigger than he was, he has filled out and he is fat. I have let him be out and be a horse for the last year, maybe not that long since he required some MAJOR care when I got him. He doesn't look like the same horse anymore though. Still sweet and loves Royal.
Well I better get some things done. If I think of anymore I will post later. Today was just some ramblings, nothing major. We are rather boring these days. Feeling the need for a vacation.
