First Wednesday in May



Monday night Tom did the deed: administered worming doses to all of the equines. He's so good about that, and they all took their medicine like good kids.

Last night Tom changed the oil in the tractor. Long overdue. He also is working on reattaching the trim (moulding/baseboards) to the hallway and newly refurbished bathroom.

The weather has been pretty good, but a storm came through overnight doing the wind/rain thing. Cooled things off a little too much. They all spent the night inside but went out, in the rain, this morning. Turned out to be a sunny day.

And today, through the power of the internets, we received The Balm and the sheath cleaner. Both products come highly recommended. KC is really going to enjoy this, seriously. Lil Fred? I don't know. Judy never did it so I'm guessing this will be a new experience for him. I hope he likes it as much as KC does.

I hope it warms up for the weekend, we have plans, always lots of plans, but a couple things on the list call for warm temps, like washing April and the equines. They are all overdue for baths, too.

  1. I figure when my mares stand out in the rain, they're getting the equivalent of a bath. If only they didn't roll in the mud afterwards.

  2. That's pretty good! We use this product and swear by it - it also will cure Rain Rot - if you wash them with it, let them DRY before they roll in the dirt/mud, they will stay 'clean' for weeks. Getting the dirt/mud off of them is easy and they still feel clean. Plus, with the sprayer/foamer you never actually touch them! Some people like to rub their horses, but this product makes sure you stay dry yourself. Win-Win!
