Friday and Sunny!

Josh, Mindy and Isabella (Ireland's filly) Adopted in 2007!
Ok, so my days lately are just asking, is it going to rain or be sunny? Being sunny this time of year helps me immensely!! the mud is slowly drying up and I can now go into parts of the paddocks to my old routine of where I put my hay for the horses. I can go in and work a bit with Raven. She has been letting me pet her with me one side of the fence and her on her side. She has let me pet her on her back, legs, her chest and also her belly. When I go in, she is alittle more hesitant and still will only let me do her neck and head. This weekend is me going to push her a bit and try to get her to let me pet her back. I still havent been able to get the halter on her yet only because of the mud and not being able to get that close to her- she is a great girl. So wanting to trust and love. I will eventually put her in the 'docile' horses, but the first few days always bothers me because the 'docile' ones will make her run and run around so that she knows that they are over her in their horse world. She should fit it well there. Kobb -ever since he has been boss, makes sure that he is in charge and he is keeping that title! He is relentless sometimes with Daevin. Not so much with Honey and Breeze. So hopefully he will accept Raven after only a few days of torture! Big, fat Cheyenne will go back in with the bullies. She likes them for some reason. but they are all strong in body and will. So whoever goes up there must be on the look out for a chastising if needed! HA! I love my horses so-
anyhow, still working on a place for my fund raiser for next year. I think I have found a place, and have emailed them the outline we have prepared already. Pretty preliminary, but tells them what I want to do. Its either going to be a big bust or just a wonderful hectic day! Either way, we will have great fun.
We have called it "The first ever Family Horse-Around" Cool name!
this weekend is busy for me. Saturday, will have volunteers that are coming. We have a ton to do to get ready for winter. Sunday, I have a few other people coming that cant come on Saturday. A good friend, Deb who used to come out but has some problems with her hands and fingers really cant do the heavy work anymore. She is coming out to get some horse love and hang with me as well. We also have to get things ready for the Jefferson Tack Sale that is in January. We sell all sorts of tack and baked goods. We do very well there. It also benefits the 4-H clubs in the area with the money they get for their tables. So all in all, a very good event! Lots of tack stuff there. 2 huge buildings full of people selling stuff. find great deals!
Also Rebecca coming out to work with Mia. Mia has been doing extremely well for Rebecca. Poor Rebecca lost her round pen so that i could use that for another paddock! I am extremely happy with what she is doing with my horses. She is kind, patient and really loves to work with them. She is still planning on trying to train her to ride even over the winter! i cant wait!
Oh, i will be going out on Sunday to see Blinky (now Mr. B) and Flicka. they were the two that found a great couple to adopt them. I couldnt take them into my rescue but advertised them for the lady who couldnt keep them anymore. I will be getting updated pictures of them up on this blog next week. thank you don and Lynne!
I will be sending out an email next week to my horse contacts to see about volunteering for the fund raiser and also if they can donate any used tack for me to sell at the Jefferson Sale. Its been a long week for me at work, but a good one.
I wish you all well!
