Glad the moving wasn't as bad as you thought, Face. We're going to need to get some furniture for daughter #3 in a few weeks. She's living in on campus housing, applied for a furnished single room, got an unfurnished double.... up in Monterey where she lives, 6+ hour drive so going to wait and buy up there so we don't have to haul it, just sell or store it up there when the school year is over.
Hope Pilot's ride went well. Gary just texted me that his business trip in Ohio is over and they're flying over Lake Michigan on their way to Osh Kosh.
I'm driving south to pick up a big, skinny, Senior gelding picked up from the local kill buyer at auction, taking him to my friend at the horse rescue where we got our little Jenny and the project horse, Lincoln. Lincoln may end up being more than we can handle. He appears to have been handled roughly and our first time taking him out on trail and also with other horses, he wigged out on the way home, started spinning and rearing....Kelly did an emergency dismount after riding out several of these scary rears and he settled down, walked him about a mile and remounted, he was still antsy but kept him moving forward and made it home. I'm going to have her ride some more in the arena, develop some trust, see if it's the other horses being there that trigger him or just being out on trail, pony him some w/out a rider but if he acts crazy, it's not worth Kelly's health.... poor horse was obviously failed by humans at some point.
Cody is looking good but I need to get his feet done as he's way over due to being sick.
Going to be another hot one.....
