Speaking of Tractor Supply, we went there a few days ago. I picked up chicken feed and a few other things for the SHIIPS project. My point about bringing this up is that I bought Wild Bird Feed again instead of Chicken Scratch. The reason being that our chickens hate the Scratch at TS. However they LOVE the Wild Bird Feed mix. So I pay three times as much and use far less with no waste. I think the house brand of TS (Dumor) has GMO corn and the birds won't touch it. Since that's seventy-five percent of the mix, there's a lot of waste. They're now healthier, happier, and we aren't wasting money. A happy arrangement in my books!
Worked with the little colt today. He is now doing walk, trot and Ho (stop). He has also picked up on Quit as well. Not bad, I should think, for a knee-high yearling. Shaved him a bit more today too. He could care less about the clippers. It's the holding still that bothers him. So much fun to work with the good ones like this.
Breezy has lost both hind shoes again. The farrier left her so long in the front she has grown right over the shoes. She looks more like sixteen weeks instead of eight. Backs are way short now due to being worn off by he lack of shoes. She is the incarnation of the phrase, 'no feet no horse.' From the feet up she is a fab horse. Her feet however are horrible. The rest of the horses are kind of lost without her when they go out. She's Momma to the rest of the herd.
Hope everyone has a great Thursday. I'm hitting the shower before bed. The string trimmer covered me in gunk today during the annual Star Thistle battle. I have another five acres or so to go over too...
