Same old, same old

Hello Everyone-
Just busy with 2 jobs, the horses, and boy do i hate the sun going down so soon in the afternoon?? yes, I do! Can see a dang thing! I am in the process of trying to get a few spot lights that are either solar or battery powered. But I have to wait until Thursday to get them. I looked on the Home depot site and was asked if I needed someone from Home Depot to chat with me on-line. hmmmm? Ok, so i give it a try. Well, I am not entirely sure that it was actually a real person! I ask for the spot light and of course either solar or battery powered and enough light to light up a good sized part of my pasture. She (Michelle) gave me a few options and of course they are lights that are powered by electric power, so i ask her again. She then writes ' i have not heard from you in a while, do you still want to use chat?' She also goes on to tell me the link to order this light on line. I figured, nope, dont want to chat anymore. Better just go to the store and get one from there. I will also be getting a canvas type of shelter for my 2 old guys, Max (24) and Kobb (33). I want them to stay in the exercise pen so that they can always get their grain twice a day. Although I am re-thinking this since Max is now just a big fat tick! He is such a hoot though. When he sees me, its like, hurry Mom! I am starving!! With the cold, rainy weather, I have been giving all of the horses more to eat. I am a firm believer in NOT blanketing my horses just yet. they really need to get their coat all grown in before we put on a blanket. If you put one on too soon, their coats may not develop and then you have to leave the blanket on at all times. I dont have multiple blankets to do that for all of the horses! But I really only have probably 4 horses that will get blanketed this year. Anyhow, the 10 horses that are together are getting 3 bales of hay, twice a day. The last few nights when it was cold and rainy, i give them either 1-2 bales of this marsh grass hay that i have. My horses are very spoiled and they love the hay that i give them. some all alfalfa and some is a mix. Nice hay. the marsh grass hay isnt bad, but its not the other stuff. So I set that out around the perimeter for them to eat. They do eat it, but only when there is none of the 'good stuff' left! I also fed them earlier last night (Sun), so I put out 2 of the marsh grass hay bales. Boy, 5 bales of hay for 10 horses! Yes, they do like to eat! most of that all gone in the morning! HA! I call them pigs, not horses! But I dont even think pigs eat that much! anyhow, we will doing hay again on Sunday, December 5 at noon. Will be getting another 300 or so bales and that should last until February! then get enough to last until next years crop!
I should hear by the middle of December if I get accepted to come to Midwest Horse Fair this year. We plan on taking Mya and Raven next year if accepted. Raven will be good to load, and Mya, well, she isnt that good. Trailering, i hate it!
Antar is doing well with his eye surgery. His depth perception isnt as good at night or twilight, but he will get used to it. He is doing better already. His eye is sinking into his head, but if you look at him at a certain angle, he looks like he has an eye there. I am sure he has no pain anymore. He is dealing with it and that is all we can ask for. he is such a good boy. I love that boy alot. And he is trusting me again too since there are no more meds to give out. And he is gaining a bit more weight -which i like for the winter.
other than that, everything is going pretty well! Will get more pics on here too!
