OUR FIRST RIDE

I am still coughing but we went riding this past Sunday.  I took Sister.  I picked Alivia up at Kellie's and walked over to see Elan.  He is looking brighter in the eyes.  She sold Thymeleigh to Robin Dodson so she was picking him up a little later.

We hauled to Tyrrell and met Paulette there.  I tacked up Biscuit in Barry's Billy Cook and put my Sharon Saare on Churro.  Biscuit didn't seem to care for that girth.  I walked him around a bit and then mounted up.  Harder to get in that saddle.

We started out and Biscuit was moving forward like a good boy.  We saw some roseate spoonbills in the bog and a dead hog in the water further down in the slough. 

When we turned to go down the bayou we got to the culvert and it was half washed out and had a tree grown up over the part that was there.  We will have to take stuff to clear that out and then go across but it is narrow.  They will need to fix it.  We turned around and went back.

Several times Biscuit took off at a trot and jog.  He is feeling so much better!

Temps were cool when we started but warmed up. 

All in all we had a great time.

Didn't go to Ebenezer

I didn't go to Ebenezer - it was way too hot to take Biscuit - poor guy would have melted in the trailer.  I came down sick myself.  I was put on a z-pack.  Biscuit is doing great!!

Crazy Week

It has been a busy week of sick kids, wedding cakes and trying to get out to the barn.  I went most days and for sure every other day to give Biscuit his DEX.  I moved it back to 1.5 cc's instead of 2.  He is doing well.

I went out Sunday and took him out to eat grass for a few moments.  I need to do his hooves but Monday and Tuesday I have had Tristan.   He was fine yesterday and crying today.

The Clydsdales are at the barn and I hope to get out and see them and get to see their routine.  Maybe tomorrow but I will have Tristan at least half the day.  I told Morgan I need to get out and do Biscuit's hooves.  I don't want to pay for it to be done.  I need to do it.

Talked to Diane today and we planned a trip to McKinney Roughs for Nov 1-4.  She will probably get there on Oct 31 but I have a Halloween Party at the house so I will get up and leave around 7:00 AM or there around.  It is a 4.5 hour drive if I am not mistaken to Happy Horse Hotel. 

I also plan on going to Rustic Sky for Thanksgiving weekend leaving on Friday and staying through Sunday.

I am going to Ebenezer this weekend for Friday and Saturday.  I can't wait.  I so need a break.
