ME Day
I was off work today and spent the day with the horses. I moved Pistol to the big pasture and Faith. They are doing good, I hope that continues while I'm gone tomorrow.
Couldn't grain Belle this evening, Trick finally succeeded in taking her away from me to run the herd back to the back of the pasture away from Pistol and Faith. Pistol won't challenge Trick but he goes after River every time. So I'm just going to keep River up close to the house in small pasture. He is a love bug and doesn't care to venture out. This evening Willow and Ice are showing interest in going out. Pera doesn't want to either so she will stay up with River. Getting the horses switched around. Newt has an appointment for May 24th to be gelded. I put Whisper and Newt in another area with River. He likes babies. Had to get newt out of the miniature horse pen because he was starting to pick on them. He and Whisper had a great day. So did I. I will get everyone brushed this weekend. Most are rolling on the ground getting most of it off.
It was a fun day. The babies and River now have a shelter. Fixed gate, checked and fixed electric fence and checked fence. I was busy. Now tired and very sore. Got my shower early because Belle squirted at Trick and it all landed on me. That was nasty and stinky.
She took off with Trick still with her halter on, I'll get it later when he lets them stop hiding. Brats. But I love them so much.

Grooming
Well today is my birthday so I will celebrate tomorrow spending time with my horses. Good brushing and some training. I hope its half way beautiful tomorrow. I'm in need of major horse time.
I think spring is finally here and its lovely. The rain needs to stop for a couple weeks so things can get dryer and I can really get to working on horses. I'm super motivated!!

It's finally warm!
I think spring is here. It is warm today. The wind is strong and the mud is deep but let the grass start growing. The horses are in a better mood, I'm in a better mood and I can't wait to start riding again.
I've got 1 more horse to sell.

Spring??
Well temperatures are starting to go up. Let's hope spring is finally arriving. Hubby is down with pneumonia, I'm trying to head off or get rid of strep throat. Took Wes to doctor today and she looked at my throat and called in antibiotics for me too. She's a super doctor. My sinuses are killing me, I feel like shit but I have to keep going because there's no one else to take care of things such as feeding, watering and such. My head feels like it will explode.
On a happier note.....Dakota is getting huge! We had company today and since he didn't know them he went to our bedroom until they left. I just love that dog. Its very obvious that we have become his "pack" for lack of a better word. Its more than just family, he wants nothing to do with strangers at all which I'm happy about, no one will be able to steal him. I wondered how he would react to those he didn't know. Now I know. He is not aggressive which is a good thing.
Here is to hoping spring is here.
