Here stands, nosey...

  Handsome is a real nice character. He doesn't let to much shake him up. Standing around, while working in the stalls and the grounds around the pasture, he looks on, as though he's over seeing our project. I can't say enough good about this horse. Having bought him two years ago last month. He's been the perfect first horse for Makayla. I can't say he's bombproof, because I don't think any horse is, but he's as near bombproof as a horse gets. I guess the only real concern I have a times is, he pulls back on the lead rope sometimes when startled by something. I do suspect he might have a vision problem in one eye. And it only happens on the one side rarely. He's nearly 18 years old, so it's about time for the old age to set in.

Procrastination at its best...

   I've been procrastinating again. So, what's new, eh? ha ha! It's been along week at the work front. Long hours and in dire need of a vacation. The weather is getting better as days go by. It was in the 50's last night. Winter coming around the corner, I've noticed the horses coats are changing. They almost look fluffy in the early morning hours. They've become darker and have a shine to them again. The hot summer really took a toll on all the critters around the place.

   Since it's been quite cooler, Ronnie decided to use his energy playing with the new "old" tractor. It sure comes in handy for cleaning out the open stalls. It's something we had normally done by hand. I can't believe it took less than fifteen minutes to accomplish what would have taken us a couple of hours to do by hand. We've been looking in to getting a load of sandy loam for the stalls. Ronnie leveled and graded the excercise pen shortly after we got the tractor so it will drain better after a heavy rain. Luckily it did rain one night last week and no water stood any where. Oh yea!
