It's been a while!

Well, so much for my wonderful intentions at a regular, hopefully informative blog here!

Life has, as it always does, got in the way of my good intentions, but since it's not yet quite daylight enough to put the horses out, I'll take a few minutes to update this thing.

Yesterday saw the arrival of our latest boarder, a beautiful chestnut Dutch Warmblood mare named Ginger.  She settled pretty well with the established herd, quickly figuring out that if she got on Barbie's good side (yes, Barbie does have a good side!) then she was off to a good start.  As far as I can tell, after checking everyone over, only Moyie got a booboo (a cut just below her eye).  I have a feeling, though, that she may have done it to herself on a branch or something!  Probably trying for attention/sympathy since we had a new guest.

Other than that, our chickens are continuing to be happy and noisy.  Eggs are being produced at about 3-4 a day (rare days we get five), and is certainly more than it would have been when we had 5 roosters and only 2 hens!  Sadly, little Marigold, one of our white chickens, passed away a few weeks ago, but it was just through old age.  She slipped away in my arms, in the house, and is now buried close to her friends.

I think that's pretty much it for "news" around here, so I should probably finish my coffee then go put the horses out and get on with the stall cleaning.  Haven't yet managed to train them to clean their own stalls - without opposable thumbs they struggle with the muck fork.  Oh well.

This post put a smile on my face! I also found the last post quite informative as I would love to hear your input on finding the right bit for my girl. Thanks,
Heather

More than happy to make suggestions as to a bit for Ginger. BUT since I haven't watched her work as yet, it's of course entirely possible she already IS wearing the most appropriate one. Let's see what we think next Friday :) I will try to watch her work before that though.

    Between caring for horses, chickens, dog and family, I love to write, so I'll try to keep this blog updated as much as I can, with a mixture of hopefully helpful information/tips and the daily goings-on at the 'ranch'.
