Let's Take a Breather

The bid we got last week for the footers for the new barn was off the page. Fortunately it was wrong. I'm feeling lots better now, it is almost half from the original price. It also included the aisle, which we didn't think we would pour just yet. Baby steps. Slow down, Pard'nr.

Anyway, call me crazy but we are looking into buying two more horses. For real. I'm going over Wednesday after work to look at a pinto mare named 'Spirit.' She is two years old and weighs about 200 lbs. The thought of having companion animals is very appealing, but the impact on our pasture because of the high heat and drought this summer makes it almost impossible. Environmentally and financially, it doesn't make sense to have two horses that can't be ridden anyway, might as well get some that weigh what a big dog does and not ride them, either.

We still need to get another, but having trouble getting the lister that has 'Peanut' to email or call me back after numerous inquiries. It is no secret that 'horse people' can be odd.
