I need to spend the entire weekend cleaning out the flooded barn and making it as clean as possible for the water to flow in and out of.
The horses are doing well and are enjoying the warmer weather although I think they too are getting tired of the rain. I'm afraid I've been rather lax in pushing the issue with Jim. He's so hard to catch and I've been so swamped with work, I haven't forced the issue in making him come into the barn to eat grain. I'm afraid he's losing weight again. I really need to get him into the vets to get his teeth floated. Unfortunately the trailer is in the shed and I don't want to tear up the yard now that it's a river.
I think my antsyness is coming from reading another blog. Joe from Thoroughbred Friends sounds really stressed. I've never met him, only read his blog and you can read the worry and stress in his writings. He tries to stay upbeat but he's dealing with 170+ horses on his rescue and tons of phone calls every day. It just makes me antsy. I desperately need to get the paperwork signed and going on the rescue but I'm always running out of time. If I sit for even a minute I'm asleep. I'm afraid at some point I'm going to start falling asleep standing up!
I'm sure it's just this crazy weather that has me on edge. I know the minute I go out to do chores, the antsyness will go away. Whoever said "The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man" was totally right. I think even if I hope on the back of one of my trusty steeds will make all my worries go away. I may just have to try it, wet butt or no wet butt.
