The reunion was good, we laughed a lot, and they missed Phyl. Our friend JoAnn has 2 horses, 3 ponies, 2 minis and 2 ... http://users.yumaed.org/~kreno/WordPress/?p=34 Went to Elliott’s and back, at the walk. His first time out this year. Only got a little bit stupid at the creek/culvert. Good otherwise. http://users.yumaed.org/~kreno/WordPress/?p=33 I had Orie put down this morning. I went out there to check on her, and it looks like a leg was back on the foal. The foal’s head and one leg were sticking out, and it was cold, dead. She was exhausted, and it looks like ... http://users.yumaed.org/~kreno/WordPress/?p=32 Rain, Rain Go Away, Come Again Another Day I can finally see the sky today, after 2 and a half full days of rain. I have no idea how much, because our rain gauge is broken, but everything is sopping wet. The wind is blowing now, to dry things out again. ... http://users.yumaed.org/~kreno/WordPress/?p=30 It’s raining again. I haven’t checked the rain gauge, but it’s pretty muddy outside. We got dumped on yesterday, and it’s been raining off and on again today.

It was TOO MUCH FUN! I wanted Ian to be around all those draft horses, because he was very offended by a horse with chain end traces and a ... http://users.yumaed.org/~kreno/WordPress/?p=27 I’m done doctoring Victor. It’s a relief to be done. Orie doesn’t act like she ever wants to foal, except she’s so big. It was wishful thinking to say her bag was coming on. Since Dacotah was about a month behind schedule, I’m thinking Orie will ... http://users.yumaed.org/~kreno/WordPress/?p=26 Adelaide brought me a nice fat gopher this morning! So nice of her. Then she ate him, well, most of him. There are a couple of choice bits left on the concrete pad that I hope Perth will eat, or the birds. Yesterday was a bad day. ... http://users.yumaed.org/~kreno/WordPress/?p=22 We have 2 holes in our yard. One was from a water leak, the main line coming into our house. The black plastic pipe was split, Scott thinks it happened when they installed it, or it was a defect in the pipe, and it finally let loose. ... http://users.yumaed.org/~kreno/WordPress/?p=21 This morning Victor was wonderful to doctor. He was laying down, and didn’t even get up when I went over to him. So, I put the halter on him, and gave him his molasses/SMZ mixture while he was laying down. I’m glad I got the right combination ... http://users.yumaed.org/~kreno/WordPress/?p=20
