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!
