More Hay

Just got in from doing chores after a busy weekend. I'm ready to put my feet up and relax. Hopefully I won't fall asleep before I can actually "hit the hay".

Speaking of hay, today we ran up to Wentworth to pick up a load of hay. Buying Jimmy put me over the top on how much hay I would have/need for the winter/spring. We contacted a hay supplier in Wentworth who hooked us up with some hay. It's been a few weeks to coordinate actually getting up there but we were able to get three round bales. The hay guy also had some extra small squares so I went through some of them and packed in as many into the bed of the truck that would fit.

We still need to go back some other time to pick up the other three round bales to get us through the rest of the winter. I'm hoping that my calculations are off and that I'm buying these bales for nothing. But I'd rather be safe than sorry and I'd rather have fat horses going into spring than thin horses. More hay is always better especially if I intend on bringing any more horses home.

So this last load of hay makes Round 4. I'll take pics tomorrow when it's actually light out and at some point and I'll blog about each, since each trip had some type of "adventure" involved.

I also need to blog about Saturday's farrier day. But that will have to wait for another day when I'm not so beat. Until then..... only four more days until Christmas!
