Crazy Day

Yesterday was a bit much, here's some of what happened:

  • Blackie tripped on her lead rope and went down. Stayed down. Had to be coaxed back to her feet. Poor old girl.
  • Christie took Michal and Brianne out for a ride. All horses came back with riders this time.
  • The young horses, including Dancer and Ghost decided the grass was greener in the yard.
  • I built up the fire pit (aka Friendship Circle) with more rocks to make a deeper pit. All agree it looks nice.
  • A neighbor had family in from out of town. They came to see the critters. They stayed to ride the golf cart, the lawn tractor, and anything else with a motor.
  • A mare and her foal got tangled in Ryder's electric fence. Everyone is fine. I used enough adrenaline to last a week.
  • My sister made kabobs for dinner over the campfire. They were yummy.
  • Two mares arrived for breeding with foals at side. They don't appear to have been handled much. Christie setup a temporary round pen for them.
  • All the yearlings got groomed. There is a prospective buyer coming today.
  • Horses were moved around to make a stall available for Sky to have her baby in. Sky didn't have her baby. We are all waiting to exhale.
  • Christie and I made a quick trip to Frenchtown to make a deposit at the bank and get groceries for today.
  • We filled water tanks for all pastures using the irrigation pump.
  • Jarred hauled more wood for fencing down from our hillside.
  • Michal worked with Cairo in the round pen.
  • A temporary fence was setup by the round pen so horses could be left there without them being able to chew on Janice's car.
...oh yeah, and I worked my normal 7-4 shift for the bank.
