Glad your trip is going as planned, Face. Remember to take your health certificates with you when crossing state lines.
Have pretty much decided that the gelding will be seeking a new home. He gets too rattled to be safe to be around at times. Sad, because he has potential to be a good boy for someone. I don't think I am that someone and we can't do much of anything with Whisper if he is around. He frets if you get next to her, The only place he is comfortable with her getting attention of any kind is in her stall with him in the next stall. He turned around and came back to his stall yesterday when he realized she had not been let out of hers yet. I found out he was fighting and trying to herd the horses where he was before he came here...not from the seller but from someone who was there looking at horses. When I told her where he came from she said, "You got that crazy red horse?" That pretty much says it is an established behavior. There are too many good horses out there seeking new homes to risk getting hurt with one that acts the way he does.
Hunter, saw the picture of Zag. He looks so good. Always great to know your boy is getting wonderful care.
Oh, Face, the trails. We have an old railroad bed trail near here that I would like to try...at a different time of year. It is pretty buggy now and there is a lot of wet land around this trail. They are planning on opening up old rail road beds for trails in the adirondacks soon...I think hiking is primary but it would be great if the horse folks would ask to be included. There is a pretty active horse group in the state.
We are supposed to get showers again this morning so maybe the horses will stay in this morning. Put them out yesterday morning and did stalls and then put them back in because we got some really heavy rains...with wind. We watched a burst of wind come along the front of our property and it picked up our Shelter Logic car tent and move it. Pretty neat. Oh, yes, I admit, I screamed because it did frighten me just a bit.
Have a super day everyone.
DH, my step son went back for a second surgery on the back of his knee because the scar tissue from his burns kept cracking and bleeding. The second surgery was a huge success. He had been walking on tip toe and now walks perfectly normal. He fell and sat in fire so it was his butt, legs, and hands that got it. I saw his hands in the hospital before he was airlifted to a bigger facility. Nasty. He is a mechanic and the hands work fine now.
