Tired and stressed!

Hello Everyone!
Is is morning??? What day is today? My gosh, my brain is totally fried. I still packing the house, going through the garage, working 2 jobs and moving horses and horse tack. Thursday night.... Wow, what a whirlwind. I had my friends, Barb and Joe with a trailer and my neighbor Steve with his trailer. I was going to have my vet come out to sedate horses (2) to transport to the new place. I also had helping, Jodi, Brianna, Helen, Austin, Morgan, (barb's daughter- sorry i cant remember her name right now!), Rebecca and Ross. We needed to haul 7-8 horses and panels. took us a few loads, but it was done. My poor Vet Jean, got hurt Thursday morning. She literally had a Jackass that actually fell on her while she was working on him/her. I hear she is fine, but very sore and badly bruised. Well the horses that needed sedation but they got on without sedation. Used coaxing, butt lines and then finally panels finally did the trick with those two (Mya and Breeze). Poor Brianna was the only one to get hurt during this processed. Baby Breeze kicked her square in her upper thigh. She is doing better, thank goodness. It actually went quite well with Honey and Kobb. I got her in the barn with some grain, shut the doors and then we moved them up with panels to the end of the barn, backed the trailer up the doors and then let them go to the trailer. Honey seemed so trusting. If you dont know who Honey is, she is my paint mare who is blind and feral. Even after almost 3 years, she will still not allow me to touch her. But she and Kobb did well. Kobb is taking good care of her at the new place and sticking to her like glue until she gets the feel of the place and knows where her boundries are. Yesterday, we got together all of the rest of the horse tack and took it up. Michelle and Rebecca helped with that! Unfortunately Harley will not be making the trip. He is just too unbalanced to go on a trailer ride. Me and Harley are hanging out at my place until its time for Jean to come out and let him go to Horse Heaven. Dont worry, Harley is doing fine without the other horses as well. I am giving him plenty of love, grain and treats. He is going about his business like there isnt any difference or no other horses there. I was worried about him, but he is a good boy and loves his routine. It helps me as well not having the horses here with me. I go up at least once a day (if not twice) to check on the horses. There is a couple who lives at the place that I will be moving into and she is watching and has my numbers in case there is a problem. I have electric up there but it doesnt seem to be working at this time! So a call to John will be made today! I have this sick feeling in my stomach. Called stressed. I will be so glad when this is all over. I close on my house on Friday, and then move into the house a week from Wednesday. Trying to get all packed. But man, do i have wonderful friends. Even Helen's family has been up to see the horses and make sure they are ok! Thank you for that! I do appreciate the help. Like i have said before, I would have never been able to do this on my own. Never. I will be off of work from JUne 23 noon and not go back to my day job until July 6, Tuesday. I go back to Walmart on July 2. I just have this one more hurdle in moving stuff into the garage on June 24 and then moving the stuff out on June 30. And then i will be in my new home. I hope the new owners of my home will love it like i have - for 17 years. It will be hard, but i will make it through. thank you so much all of you for your support, help and love. I love you all!
Will hopefully give you an update by the end of the week. And say a prayer for Harley! He is such a good boy.

STARTING TO MOVE!

Ok, so my life is shambles right now. I close on my home on June 25, I cant move into the new house until June 30 late or July 1st. Yesterday we started to move horses to the new place. It is only 7 miles away so i can go and check on them before work and then after work. Not that i want to not be there, i do, but circumstances are different. I also wanted the horses to go out on pasture. They have been busting wood fences all over to get to the grass. I had to take down my electric rope fencing to put up at the new place (Thanks to John, it looks great!).
So i decide to get a couple of trailers with the help of my good, good friends. We had a few problems at the first, but we ended up loading and taking 5 horses. Papa Jack, Duke, Missy, Prize and Cheyenne. I was worried about Prize, but she didnt take too long to load. My home now is the only home she has known. She isnt afraid of much and she just didnt want to load. Didnt give us too much of a hassle, just loaded after much coaxing. We tried Mya, but she wasnt having any of that! You know those trailers, you get in, some monster will torture, scare and then eat you alive!! Now i have 8 more to go! Pouring rain! One couple with a trailer said they had major storms in their area so didnt come. Thank you to Tammy with her truck and trailer! Rebecca, Jodi and Brianna helped with loading! Then me and Rebecca had to come back with a water tank so the babies can have water! these above pics are taken last night with Rebecca's phone camera! Boy, do i wish for a fast forward to July 2!! Horses doing well this morning in the grass and trees! They love that!
Thank you so much my dear, dear friends! More news on the moving coming!

blogger down

I have had to try to blog for a few days now and have had no success. It was simply down. Man, the times I can blog, I forget to do so or its down and the time I cant blog, I want to. Go figure. Anyhow, plans for moving is underway. Lots to do and boy am I extremely nervous about it. If it were just me, I wouldnt worry much, but its me, my brother, my 2 dogs, our 6 cats and of course - 13 horses. Was 14 horses but Daevin got his forever home Memorial Day weekend. Which, by the way, he is doing absolutely fabulous. I figured they would beat the crap out of him for a few days. Daevin is NOT an alpha horse at all. But the two he joined just ran with him for awhile and then they went on to graze. The Arab mare is in love with him and i think the gelding is trying to figure out if Daevin is all bluff or all bite. Well he will figure it out. When i went to see him the day after he left, he was right in the middle of the two horses not caring at all. Normally he would be all jittery watching for the two and not getting in the middle. Anyhow, he is fitting in nicely and Shania is his new mom and she is very happy with him. I am very happy he has a great home!
ok- so back to moving. I will be moving the horses next Tuesday afternoon, and then I will not be moving until either June 30 or July 1. I will of course go up there every day to make sure they are ok. The lady who lives there also said she would keep an eye open as well. But leaving them will be hard. But they will have a few acres of grass and they desperately want and need that! They have been trashing my wood fences because they arent getting grass yet. It seems every time that i go out to feed that they are saying when is it grass time mom?? How come we dont get grass this year? And man! with all of the rain lately? Getting very tired of that! it seems that we got our april showers in June now. Pretty muddy. Boy, am i looking forward to no dry lot or what?? I will not know what to do with myself in not feeding them 2 times a day! Well at least for awhile! I have great friends who will be helping me with hauling! Tammy and Barb! Poor Jodi has an axle problem and cant help. Good thing the new place is only 7 miles away. I have a guy, John who is helping me with fencing in more grass area for the horses as well. So I am just hoping everything comes together and works out. Cant wait for July 2! Will be in the house (hoping I didnt jinx myself) and getting settled.
Also- training update. We will now be working with 'little miss sassy pants' Raven. She is not a horse who likes humans to get close, but she is curious and is most times a good girl who has tantrums. Her buddy is Antar and he lets her get away with alot. She is actually mean to him and he either likes it or just doesnt care. I have to get a picture of her biting him and him getting annoyed but not getting after her. She likes to stomp her foot as well and I am not liking that. When she wants something, she will let everyone know! So more pictures coming soon!
Hope you all are having a great summer with your babies!
