Pasture Time

As promised, just a few pics of the herd out on the lawn. This was before I had the majority of the big herd out. I had the herd out last night for a good three hours. It's amazing how eight mouths can really take down the grass. Now if they would just level it off, I wouldn't have to mow! :-)

Just a side note, I don't leave halters on the horses. I'm putting halters on while they are on the lawn in case something happens and they blow through the electric fence. I've learned my lesson on that one! And it's teaching them to let me come up and halter them and that haltering isn't a bad thing. It's really helped with Jim. He's coming around, slowly but surely.

While the main herd was out in the lawn, I pulled Tommy and Skippy into the bigger drylot and let them rip roar around the pen. I wish I would have had the camera. They were too cute! Maybe tonight I'll pull them out again while the main herd is out grazing.

I did do some ground work with Brego (saddled him although I'll never ride him). I also did some ground work with Maverick. I'll have to blog about that experience. Totally different mentalities to working.

This week is going to be packed starting tomorrow until the weekend. So we'll see how much I get accomplished. Lots of non horse related activities going on this week.
