On a Mission!

Well, first things first. The horses are all well. My boys are totally not interested in the mare now that she is not in heat. Don't worry. She will be again, soon. Sigh.

The two horses on the previous post are doing well. Enjoying the groceries in front of them. The warm sunshine. The grass under their feet. Dry ground. All these things were in short supply where they were. Not now!!!!

I did call the local police department. Seems as I wasn't the only one who had concerns for the horses welfare. Called the local Humane Officers to report it, too. Sorry. Don't want me to call on you? FEED YOUR HORSES. Kinda simple, really.

You want to see my horses? Drive right on by. I literally live on the main road. There is no place in my fields that you can't see my horses from the road. Come on in to visit. I'll introduce you to everyone. Would I like to live out at the end of a dirt road and have the road end in my drive like my friends house that I ride at? You betcha. Hate living in a fish bowl.

So, anyways, since it's calling for rain in the morning, we are headed on a mission! Lxxx's mare seems to have shifted weight. Not really gained any, not really lost any - just her saddle doesn't fit any more. And, surprise, surprise, she seems to be a hard fit. That is what I'm finding out, also, with my wonderful thoroughbred. The saddle that fit last week doesn't quite fit this week. Sigh. Good thing I have 4 saddles.

So, we are doing a road trip! Saddle shopping. Get to sit my butt in a bunch of saddles and ooohhh and aaaaahhhh and then gasp at the prices. Good thing I buy mine on sale and when I can find them. Hopefully, we will be able to find a saddle for her mare.

So, out to the barn to tuck everyone in for the night. Don't know where the roosters are roosting. Haven't been able to find them for the last couple of nights, but they are out first thing, crowing up a storm!

I'll get more pictures and updates on the remaining 5 as I can... The two are doing well and I'll go take pictures in about a month to show you what a tube of wormer and a few bales of hay can do.... and who knows, maybe baby pictures, too!
