Its Friday!

Hi Everyone!
Well, its cold, windy and rainy. I want the leaves to stay on the trees until the colors come! I actually wore a coat last night doing chores and feeding. Rebecca and i put Raven in the double stall last night because of the rain we were going to get last night. Glad we did that! She is in a big round panel pen, but there is no shelter. So now she is dry and warm! Harley and Cheyenne are usually just out on the lawn and i put them in the lower paddock with the shelter of the big barn last night as well. So the other 4 horses were a bit put off by that! They have been in there before, but not much during the summer. I put out extra hay for all of them to munch and not be too worried about the hierarchy and they must have done that all night, because most of it was gone! Raven will be in the double stall for a few days until she comes up to me to put her lead rope on. She still has her halter on, but that is needed until she gets calmer and less feral. She is coming along tho!
I only feed grain and senior in the morning to Kobb, Harley, Cheyenne and Raven and was bringing in the grain to Raven to her stall when Daevin comes up and bites me full on my arm!! ouch! I have a nice swelling and bruise there now! he thought he was going to get that grain! I brought out Harley and Cheyenne outside to feed them their grain as well. Harley kills me- Any other horse I have would down a 50 pound grain bag, but he just daintedly eats its at his leisure and walks away and then goes back to it and then leaves some. Yes, he gets about 12 pounds of the stuff each feeding, but he needs to gain some more weight! Most of my horses can just look at grain and gain about 50 pounds, just like their human mom! Anyhow, chaos this morning. We all love our routine and it just wasnt happening this morning!
Last night Rebecca and i went over to Pursley Valley Stable where Michele has Lady boarded. Rebecca is a wonderful friend who found me and is now training some of my horses. She worked already with Mr. Butters, Missy, Mia and now with Raven. She will also be working with Lady. Lady is 'greenbroke' - She has been ridden many, many times in the arena, but only really at a walk and trot. Alittle bit of cantering, but not much. She has not been outside with a rider on her. So Rebecca will work with her and get her going so we can get her adopted out. Lady is a registered 19 year old Morgan mare. She is a love. She has great ground manners, but just needs the work on her for riding now. She has come around really well. Anyhow, I am not letting Rebecca go as she is a great person, friend and trainer! She has a way with horses.
Anyhow- the weekend- Not much except for getting my garage cleaned out again so that I can park in there again and then on Sunday- my first meeting with some friends on the fundraiser for next year! I hope you all have a great weekend! I may even get time to blog tomorrow.
