Jmebear sold a filly last year and she was asked to buy her back last week. Seems the woman who purchased her has fallen on bad times. Husband abandoned her and the kids, had to move to Portland (OR) and had to get the horses out by Saturday. She also wanted Jmebear to buy the other two minis and wanted too much for them. One would think the woman would be grateful for getting full price back on Liebchen. Whatever. As it is, she messed up the papers and Jmebear will have to deal with a hassle to get them re-issued.
We got the little mare home and set her up with a pen of Hog Panels. I cleaned out a place (or actually I just finished the clean-out, raking up of the place my Travel Trailer used to be) for her pen behind the house. She's just off the back deck walkway under the kitchen window. Libchen loves it because she can eavesdrop on us when we're in the house, can see her mother, and all the other horses. I put her big red ball (one of those thirty-inch workout balls) in with her and she was delighted. She really does seem happy to be back here. Worked her for twenty minutes or so today too (She wasn't happy about THAT).
Got Socks out and went for a short drive on either Monday or Tuesday, I don't remember which. He was good as gold. Then again, I didn't ask too very much of him either.
Weeds have gone hog-wild around here and I am hard put to keep after them. In fact they're winning and quite getting away from me.
Looks like we may have Blister Beetles in the new hay. Oi... That's all we need is another load of bad hay.
Don't know if I mentioned that two of our County Supervisors came by to see the place and talk about Code Enforcement's demands. They both thought it thoroughly stupid of C.E. to be demanding the removal of the shipping Container. Jmebear also received an email from the head honcho County Civil Service supervisor. He reassured her again that he is looking into her case and would be personally assisting in getting the issues dealt with along with ending any harassment by C.E. We shall see how this works out as the neighbor who is behind all this has relatives all through County Government. So I'm now off the hot seat in getting this container moved. For now anyway.
Trying to work out how to get down to the Napa area and pick up a cart for Socks. I'm going to try attaching a pic of it with the P.O. and her horse:
Hey, it seems to have worked! Love this cart. We already have two. One is for Chance and the other for Crystal. I love them and have been looking for a K.G. in Socks' size. The builder says all we have to do is switch the shafts on Crystal's cart and it will fit Socks. So, since the above cart is the same size, all I'll have to do is put on the shafts I have already prepared and we'll be ready to go. Needs a bit of work, but she's asking a reasonable price.
Well, I need to hit the hay! Hope everyone has a great weekend.
