Blame it on a busy mind. I typed Amelia instead of Abby when I wrote about who was interested in buying Autumn already. I edited the other post today.
Daisy went home to Jenn. L's place on Thursday. She'll be turned out for the fall and winter with Jenn's thoroughbreds. Jenn may get a lot of exercise trying to catch her in a big field - she's not keen on being caught, although once you catch her, she's pretty good. Spot is back in with the boys and misses Daisy.
Levis is home again. He has new aluminum navicular shoes on his front feet. The farrier warned that they may come off easily, so if you're in the field with Levis, check to see that he still has both of them. Mike, Jenn L's farrier, donated the shoes. Thanks, Mike!!
Caution: Reba is loose on the property to eat grass around the racetrack. She goes in at night. We're trying to fatten her up for the winter. If you see her in the front yard on the lawn, please lead her back to the racetrack. She scares the drivers on the highway when she grazes on the front lawn.
She's thin because she's old - the vet estimated that she's probably over 30 now. Her back teeth are really worn down and they don't grind her food very well, so that affects her ability to digest it. She gets grain and extruded feed (more digestible) every day to supplement whatever grass she eats.
If you're riding out on the track or trails and find her annoying you, feel free to put her in a field.
We're looking for wood to build shelters and volunteers to build and erect them. We'd like to make sure each winter paddock has a solid shed this year - and perhaps even put a large shed in the big field in the racetrack. If you'd like to help, please let us know.
You can book your place now for breeding next spring to either Spot My Dream (POA-type pony aka Spot, soon to be registered as an International Spotted Horse) or Cool Blue Dream (Paint stallion - aka Spook). Send us an email soon.
