Happy 4th of July

It's been a pretty quiet 4th of July so far. We finally had the chance to sleep in. Skippy on the other hand let me know his displeasure in my once in a great while opportunity. When I went to halter him up and lead him to his pasture he decided to take a big bite out of my bum! Naughty little pony!

I'd put the mares in the barn last night because of the rain/wind. They were shivering like crazy so I figured they would enjoy a night in a dry, mosquito free environment. They were happy to get out of the barn.


I led Queen out first and put her in the pasture. The minute she realized the was free of me, she spun around and loped out to the pasture. You have to realize that for Queen to move quickly on her arthritic joints is pretty amazing and fun to watch. You could tell she was feeling good. I thought she was going to kick up her heels.


Then I ran back and pulled Babe out. She's not one to do anything more than a trot but she was more than ready to get out to graze. I sure do love those girls.



Other than standard morning chores, not much has happened today. We decided to stay home to enjoy the 4th. It's an unusual feeling to be home and not working on anything. It rained so much that I can't do too much outside. Oh I know there's always something to work on but I can't seem to muster up enough energy or motiviation to really start working hard. I guess I'll enjoya leasure 4th of July this year.

Hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July!
