Holidays and such

Well, its been awhile since I have written in this blog, sorry about that! But anyhow, the life at the ranch is going pretty well. Knock on wood, the horses are doing pretty good. I have had to fix a few fences, but now the herds are where they should be. Harley, driving me crazy as he was just out on my lawn and seemed to always find my burdock bushes! Every night pulling out burrs out of his tail and mane. I think he does it on purpose!! Anyhow, now he is in the middle paddock by himself. i have to make sure he gets all of his grain and hay. He will eat some and then walk off, then come back and eat some more, go over to his hay bin and eat some of that, go and lay down. He makes me dizzy! But if he were with another horse, they would be a balloon and Harley would get skinnier. dont worry, Harley has access to both paddocks on either side of him. So he can kabitz anytime he wants! He has a stall and a nice big tree to lay under! He has been gaining a bit of weight, not much, but some. I am hoping he eats more as it gets colder. Still cant really put his jacket on yet because it isnt that cold yet. He is such a good boy. Cant wait to see some real weight on him!
Cheyenne and Raven are in with Kobb, Honey, Daevin and Breeze. They didnt take too long to get their hierarchy established! cheyenne is now the boss. And she isnt a good boss. I still want to put her in with the brutes and put her down a peg or two! But I need to wait until the ground is a bit more dry because of her foot. They will run her around a bit before settling. then Kobb can be boss again and get his grain in the morning and at night. He is really at a good weight now and a very nice coat and i would like to keep him that way! He will be 32 next year! Cant even tell! Love that boy! And he is a good boss too. Just like Papa jack is. right now, even with a short day (light), me having 2 jobs and everyone healthy (knock on wood) life is good. Christmas is coming, I am in a cookie exchange (yummy)I am wondering when i have time to do my shopping! And really looking forward to going to lunch with my good friend Cindy and Lynn!
Plans for the fund raiser going well. Getting our contribution letters going this week. Getting more prizes and also adding on a demo with Pam about hunt/jump! More to come later!
