I had a pretty exciting day around here today. This morning Roxy broke a section of fence down. I didn’t actually see her do it, but when I looked outside from the barn I noticed she was outside the pasture grazing. That is never good. It took me an hour or so to get all the boards back up and replaced. Hopefully it won’t happen again. The winter was really hard on our fence. I know we are going to replace a lot of the posts that are rotting once the weather gets warm enough to put new posts in. Roxy was really easy to catch. It is so nice to have very friendly mares.
I also put Angel and Frosty out today. It was finally warm, and dry enough that they could spend some time rolling and running around. Meanwhile Checkers and Annie were in the arena. I think I will try that again as long as the weather holds out. I can also use the other back pasture if it stays dry so that everyone is out.
2009 colt in Switzerland
In other exciting news, there was another Zippy foal born yesterday. In Switzerland. This is to the same lady that had a couple of them two years ago. This time it was a few spot colt. Now if she shows he he might really be something as color sells in Europe and these few spots always throw color.
I did manage to get the video made of Christine and Joe’s performance for forensics. It was just over 10 minutes which is not allowed on youtube, so I had to edit the end a little. It is still pretty fun. I will add the link here once it is all uploaded.
Today also marks the anniversary of my fall in the new barn and my flight for life trip to the hospital. I can never thank the buddy’s enough for all the prayers they gave me those first couple of days, and I can never thank Susan enough for helping me through all those months after the fall. I am truly blessed.
Thanks for watching,
