After feeding while Jim was watering I cleaned stalls. They are a real mess after the winter. We can't get them really clean until Larry the Worm Man comes to take the manure. It's been too muddy for him to get in the stalls.
Then Aaron(farrier) dropped off wife Amy and Tuffy and Mona dogs for a visit while he went to work elsewhere. As Amy was coming in so was our favorite group from COVE. There was a lot of new friends for them to meet, lots of pictures taken and lunch on the deck.
When COVE left and Jim left to get Beth Amy and I sat on the couch and fell asleep. We didn't wake up til Aaron came in . There were baby goats on the deck!!!
Aaron and Amy left about the time Jim and Beth got home. I wanted to feed early to get the horses in one spot for Dr Darling. Dr D and Lauren arrived as I was feeding so with the help of Beth and Jim they wormed and vaccinated about 16 horses before an emergency call came in.
We have a watch on Braveheart, Star and Quest. All three are not doing as well as we would hope. All are old- in their late 20's. Their teeth are good and their diet appropriate, so it may be old age catching up to them. Of course, Tory, Tawny and Jonathan are on watch, too. Dr D was very happy with Jonathan's enthusiasm for life now. He said his neck has severe arthritis and that is why he can't move his head so well.
Aurora will continue her antibiotics for three days for her cough. She still has the old spunk that kept her going when we first got her. When Dr D tried to take her temp she said No Thank You loud and clear. Good Old Aurora.
Jonathan's life is a happy one now. Sun and shade and naps whenever he wants one. Love is taking advantage of the warmth, too.
Isn't he the most wonderful sight in the world? His coat is getting shiny and he even cantered a bit today. He knows he'll get petted if he walks up to someone.
Last year's Christmas tree likes the front yard. It's too stickery for anyone to nibble on it.
Little flowers- there is more rain coming. Are you ready?
Six horses were out today dining with Gracie and Jonathan. Tory and Tawny meandered all over.
Tawny and Tory are so bonded now that when one looses sight of the other the whinnying begins. They race around at a gallop until they find one another. Today old Tawny even jumped a bale of hay to be with Tory.
We have a special small friend who really helps with caring for the horses. Thank you, Sequioa, for being such a good friend to the animals. We are lucky to have you helping us.
