Hay There!

We really did want to go riding today, but actually the weather was atrocious. It was chilly, but the wind gusts, up to 45 mph, were just too much for me and the boys. The leaves were just getting thrown out of the trees in bright showers.

We needed hay, so we might as well get that done. Picked up about 50 bales and stowed that away. We filled up the manure spreader with moldy, spent hay and also discovered a mummified bird with the old hay. Phew!

He wanted to ride, but when I was moving the horses around KC spooked, tore through the interior dry paddock, then Skip wigged out and I said we shouldn't go because it is toooooo windy.

With three out of four horses on diets we don't go through much hay and have seriously diminished the grain consumption because even Skip is putting on weight. Loving that grass!! In the long run it will prove to be a great investment of $3,000+ two years ago.

Max also had a few sessions in his play yard; he's coming along pretty well.
