Rico had an abcess. We had moved him in with Banjoe and Julian so we could medicate him until Aaron could come and evaluate him. Aaron tested all parts of his hoof.
Aha! There it is.
Aaron opened the abcess and let it drain. Then we medicated it. 
He trimmed where it was necessary.
Jim and Aaron discuss what further treatment is needed.
Rico is a good boy. He is well loved and was placed at Home At Last with great care.
Aaron checks and trims all his feet. Rico was happy to be back with his herd when it was all over. Chance and Pedro greeted him with nickers and snuzzles.
Three new volunteers came today- Leah, Carly and their mom Tina. It took three adults and two children to finally catch Grace. She is a fast and wily rascal.
When the girls finished with her she was beautiful.

Tina, who is new to the horse world, found Bobbie to be a willing teacher.
Amy, Aaron's wife, was busy putting fly masks on horses. Pico is checking things out. We are still short about 20 medium size masks, if any of you have some to spare.

Yep. It's love. Hey, says Tory, what about me? I'm lovable, too. Come on out and give him a hug.
Then Quest came in to show off his mask.
The Youth Group from Trinity Presbyterian Church in Oroville with Pastor Stan arrived. Boy, did we have a lot of work for them to do.
First, they had to put panels up by the goats and Charles and Belle, so they could move Tory, Tawny, Braveheart and Bobbie up there. The guineas are making sure everything is done correctly.
Then they dismantled the turnouts by the lower barn. This would have taken Jim and me days to get it done. Thank you, everyone, for doing this.
Sugar is overseeing this part of the job. The panels had to be moved so Larry from Wilson's worms can get in and get the manure for his worm ranch.

They just kept working til it was finished.
Meanwhile Carly and Grace walked around the ranch.
Leah, Carly and Grace became good friends. We all decided that Grace should be the one to go to Patrick Ranch's Threshing Bee June 12 and 13.
The hard working crew took a well deserved break, then toured the whole ranch, even down to the lower well. They have so much energy. Thank you so much for all you did.
Then friends and their friends brought dinner. Thank you Steve, Linda, Greg, Mark and Twyla. The Chinese food was the perfect end to a busy day.
Linda and Twyla took a short trip around the place, while Brian , Nancy and I just crashed.
Zoe is always ready for a hug and a snack.
Thank you, everyone for a great day.
