Sully is coming home.........we will pick him up on Thursday evening. A very full farm......but we will squeeze him in for the time being and try to find a foster home for another. Sully has developed issues with cantering. ...probably some sort of pain......lengthy explanation but he is willing to hurt himself in order to avoid cantering and I don't believe it is due to being "bad".
Anyway the foster home and barn has been very generous to us and we appreciate it...but time to bring him home and have him checked out.......chiropractic.....and soundness evaluation.
We love Sully........one of our favorites for sure.
Rain again today, lots of wind, loss of power for a while.......and cold.........but now, outside my window, frogs croaking up a storm and patches of moon in the sky. Maybe tomorrow it will be nice?
Ryan came and worked on the electrical today........and a fine job he did. The electric fence is now on a switch.....we upgraded the breaker box and the wiring.......added another receptacle. So nice to have things more useable and safe! He also moved the manure pile in the back........it was monstrous and hot.
We say goodbye to Carerra, who has finished her project with us.......and we wish her luck in her future....thanks for helping the horses and sharing your ideas with us. We like being involved with the Running Start program, we meet such great students!
We are hearing great things about Vinnie.......and how happy his new owner is with him! YAY!! All of our stories should have such happy endings..... The picture on the blog today is Vinnie...one of my favorite pictures of him. I told his new owner Tanna that this is really why I do what I do..........this is what rescue is all about. You take a horse like Vinnie from a dead end situation and you get him into a home that is perfect for him. Love at first sight. Makes me want to cry.......really...it does. You go Vinnie........we miss you already.
The crabby old bat was not so crabby today........and Promise did not stall walk as much as she has........somethings improve and it makes the day seem better. Somedays I get overwhelmed with work, finances, time........whew......I don't know how it all gets done....but it does.
The cement for the shoeing stand will have to wait for good weather.......the frame is all up.....just need some sunshine for just a little while.
Did I mention that we have hay stashed everywhere? Three ton.........in every nook and cranny. Great buy.....it goes fast..........they eat like threshing machines these inmates. Two hots and a cot, as my husband says....life is good.
Pony Up fortune for tomorrow:
Do not forget to show your humility.
