The farrier came yesterday and what fun  

That was a nice story but it does make it difficult to respond with a descriptive post Yesterday was a not a good We lost our baseball game in my SloPitch Senior league 22-18 and then i saw 45 credits taken away from mylot credits I seldom post a discussion topic and only respond to my friends email alerts so its my friends topics being deleted Now i am tentative about answering any topic because i expect Mylot to delete the topic in the next few days Other then the ball game and my credits disappearing nothing else to explore from yesterday's journal.I am a urban person heart and soul and i appreciate those who live on farms but i just couldnot take it Good Luck

LOL, raydene, you got one mischievous horse there, eh. I haven't had any experience with any horse but it sound like a lot of hard work. I remember riding a horse and having such a blast with it.

Yesterday is a holiday here in my country. It was the national election day. Being an alien (meaning different nationality), I was not allowed to vote. So I stayed at home with my girls, grilled some chicken for lunch and laze around the whole afternoon. Nothing special just an ordinary hot summer day.

I have a 2 year old that doesn't seem to think she can balance on 3 legs when getting her feet done. She likes to lean on you too.

I had a pretty good day yesterday. Took two of my mares in to the vet for preg checks. One checked in foal, nothing definitive on the other mare. Vet didn't want to call her open, but wasn't confident in calling her in foal. Will take her back tomorrow for a recheck. Hopefully she's in foal and I'm done with breeding for the year. We have 3 broodmares, 2 are confirmed in foal.

Other than that, the usual chores - cleaning stalls, laundry, dishes, cooking, etc. Just a typical day on the farm!

I am not laughing Raydene as you can see I am crying and I can not cry and laugh at the same time it is not possible
No no honest it is not tears of laughter
Oh Goodness but I would have liked to have seen that
I really hope that you are ok though and that you have not hurt yourself
Oh Dear I thought it just happens to me hehehe but everyone is joining now lol
Love and Hugs to you

What a day you had!! I've stepped in plenty of poop but never with flip flops. And I've never sat in it. Now, you know you should not be around horses with flip flops on. A squished toe is not fun. My mother also said that manure would make things grow and that's why I was tall. I also hope with you that your butt will not get ----. My day yesterday consisted of moving our electric rope fence around to give the horses more grass and managed to get cut from prickers and briars. I also know better that I should only wear jeans when working in the bush. Now I have "battle scars" on my legs. I also have a mare that loves to sit on me (I trim her hooves) and turn around. Very difficult to work on her but I'm too cheap to pay someone to do it for me. Hope you have a better day tomorrow!

Interesting day. I guess landing in the poop wasn't a normal occurance. The last time I stayed with my daughter when she was riding, the horse she was riding bit me. I was mad. I was going to bite back but the stopped me. Only joking. It hurt. Last time I hold the reins on that particular horse.

Gee, my day wasn't nearly as exciting as yours! Too bad you don't have a video of the whole thing!
It's good to hear from you. I hope you are feeling better and the fall didn't hurt.

I don't use shoes on any of our horses. We use a farrier that practices barefoot trimming.

Ours is coming out Sunday. We do have one of our geldings that has a slight crack and thrush on his hoof. We've been treating the thrush, but he's due for a trimming and that will eliminate the small crack.

lol never mind yesterday ,you have just made my day , I have this picture of you in my mind sitting in a pile of poo , We used to live in the country and just down the way a little was the fairer , I used to watch him for hours making the shoes , working the bellows and hammering and turning the shoes , thanks sis , you have brought back memories I had quite forgotten xxx

Wow, you had a hectic day, didn't you. I wish it were me in your place. I would have enjoyed being there. My day was peaceful and relaxful, as it is almost everyday. The weather is so hot, I cannot stand to go outside. So, here I sit at my computer and work on my website, shops, and enjoy my friends.
