Exhausted

We are still alive at Borderlands! Just super busy but not with the horses unfortunately.

We had a really nice warmup where I should have been outside getting stuff done. But last week really took a toll on me and I ended up taking most of the weekend off to rest. I did take the big plung and put Jimmy in with the big herd. I'm disappointed he hasn't buddied up with anyone yet.

Dude absolutely hates him and a few others aren't fond of him. It's going to take some time for me to figure out how he works. I'm working on getting him to come in to the barn for grain and alfalfa. I think he needs his teeth floated. Maybe then he'll snarf down his food. He takes so long to eat so I'm guessing it's his teeth that are bothering him.

But the problem is, the trailer is up to its axle in snow and I'm guessing it's frozen down to the ground. Even if I could get it out, there's at least a foot of snow IN the trailer. And once I do finally get the trailer dug out, I have to haul Brego to the trainer's. So maybe now that we have yet another cold snap I can get in and get the trailer pulled out without tearing too much stuff up. Who knows at this point!

But I do want to wait until it warms up before I haul horses. We are going back down into sub zero temps for the lows. Uugh. I hate cold temps. And now that I have Jimmy in with the big herd, I have to figure out who goes where in the barn and the stalls in the hay shed.

On the bright side, the hay in the hay barn is almost gone so I can use the hay barn as a breeze way from the main pen to the stalls in the hay shed. I'm sad to see the hay disappear from the barn since it's such easy access. But I guess I wont' complain. I either have hay in the hay barn which is always a good thing, or I can use the haybarn as a breeze way to lead horses instead of fighting gates.

We'll see how this week goes. Hopefully work won't tire me out so much and I can actually get something done with the horses other than minimal chores.
