Show Saturday
Sad sorrowful Sunday
rain yet. Thursday overnight will be the next best chance. They are wanting to leave hay in the morning to go out. So they must be finding grass. Trash hauling day here. Everyone have a clear day. ...
Tonto's eye issue has been ongoing for 15 years. He is 25. He has no pigment around the eyes. His eyes have always been weepy. We did a tear duct cleanse to no avail. I investigated tattooing but was told the issue is from below what ...
Just a spit of rain yesterday morning. I didn't even hear it. Got in a late afternoon ride. My neighbor student is doing great on Tex. I am glad she is finally riding with me. B is planning to join us today. Her first ride in ...
Chance of rain today only 20%. Better chance tonight. We need some bad. Have a great day! ...
We have warm temps but no moisture to start pastures. I have been giving grain in the mornings to supplement for lack of grass. Shedding is in full swing. Hay prices are crazy. I don't use them for horses but round bales are $165. ...
To Monday. It snowed rather heavily for two hours this morning. However it was a bit too warm for it to stay and was a mushy, muddy mess before noon. Still is. Light rain showers off and on all day didn't help. Not cold enough for the snow, but quite ...
Granddaughter was in her first horse show yesterday. Was in 3 classes against 5 other riders. She got a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons. 1st was in equitation, judged soley on her. 2nd was a casual class where she and the horse was judged. 3rd the judges ...
I came out to the stable today to a horrific sight. A horse with major leg injuries and one of my riding buddies in an ambulance. From what I heard, she was using a set of "hock hobbles" on her AQHA western pleasure mare. Apparently, this did ...
Rain forecast for this afternoon. I hope we get some. Stude, Crazy! I have never heard of that much hail. I hope your roofs survived between the massive hail storm and snow load. Global warming has been debunked by scientists since the ...
Our weather is perfect except no rain. It was upper 80's yesterday. Trees are budding and blooming. Mesquites are the ones to watch. They won't bud until cold weather is for sure gone. Doubt we will have many wildflowers due ...
Plans around here are always changing. I am suppose to give a lesson at 3:30, it changed to 9:30. The bull was supposed to be delivered next week. He comes today. That means heifer calf needed catching yesterday which happened without chaos ...
I know this is Monday. However I found out yesterday that my favourite breed of horse is dying out. Eighty percent (roughly) of the American Hackney Horses have died out leaving only two hundred nationwide. Not many outside the country either. Several ...
Another cold night and tomorrow night. Then a week of 80's, crazy. The shedding will explode. But it will be warm enough for baths. I prefer to wash the hair off. The weekend is here. Everyone enjoy! ...
to all my horse friends. Of course rain was dropped from the forecast so we had a rain shower about 3 AM. It was warm enough to not worry about Tonto getting wet in his arena. Tex gave another lesson last evening and did well. It ...
25* was the low. 32* tonight then a bit warmer. Rain dropped out of the forecast for the coming week. Not much happening other than daily chores. I hope everyone has a great weekend. ...
was an excellent lesson horse last evening. A neighbor is hopefully going to start riding. I wasn't sure that Tex would be willing especially at feeding time. They did extremely well together. Rain chances today and tomorrow. We ...
be dry enough to let horses out about 12 noon. They have been penned for a week with this ice storm. Rain coming again mid next week. Temps should be warm enough to not have ice. Stude sorry for the misplacement of the cart shed.@ ...
3 days worth. Low temps in the 20's and freezing rain. No unnecessary travel advised. Hoping the power doesn't go out. Extra insulation on cattle trough pipe. Pump house heaters are plugged in. Cows getting extra feed and ...
Well, a workday for myself. I have the roof on the posts and on the floor for my Cart-shed. Or maybe a petite Carriage house. Or even a flivver shed. Whatever, it's up. I still have to complete the floor as it has a T-shaped gap where I didn't ...
got 1/4 inch of rain. Another couple nights with temps of 30 degrees. I did get 4 of the cali squares. $35 dollars a bale and looks like nice hay. Hay man says he will be able to get it until Spring. I have my doubts. Paid taxes ...
Looks liike there will be rain all day. Almost a half inch so far and in the 30s. Horses may be in the barn most of the day. Last time I had square bales delivered was January 2021. 75 bales at $6 each. That hay lasted until this past December. Purchased ...
I have a 5 yr old 15h buckskin Azteca gelding, and after lightly lunging him I noticed his flanks have drawn up on both sides. I don't know how long its been there, but I haven't noticed it before. I already performed the pinch hydration test ...
Having to feed in the Am now due to lack of grass. I will need to go today or tomorrow to get more feed. Shortening turn out time as well to conserve what little grass we have. No rain in sight either. At least the weather is fairly warm ...
Temps yesterday and today 80 degrees! Tomorrow night back to 30* but daytime temps forecast to stay in the 60's. I'll take this for winter weather. I wish Stude could share some of his rain. We are overly dry. I trimmed ...
be able to ride. Our rain chances for today have evaporated. We are too dry, unlike Stude. Friday we took down 4 dead trees. Live oaks that succumbed to the drought, oak decline/wilt, the great freeze. Or a combination of all. @ ...
