Great pictures Ruthie:) Looks like a nice place and the horses look better cared for.

LOL, about the biting horses. We had a brood mare that we brought up here one time after she foaled. The foal seemed small and a tad bit on the weak side, so we brought her here to keep an eye on her and get her out of the pasture with other horses. I wasn't thinking about what the mare and foal had been thru being loaded up and hauled here and then locked in a stall. She was stressed. Anyway right after we got them here I went in the stall to watch the foal nurse to make sure she was getting something. I was standing bent over with my butt towards the mare's head watching the foal. I wasn't touching either one but the mare reached around and bit me at the side of my back, about kidney level really really hard. Mack was in the yard when I came flying out of that stall yelling. He said I sounded like Jerry Clower when he does that AAHHHH sound:). It didn't break the skin but I had a perfect mark on my back for a year shaped just like that mares entire set of front teeth, top and bottom. I learned a lesson too about turning your back on a horse:)

I've been moving panels again today. I've decided that I'm not going to use the arena enough to warrent the upkeep of it, so I'm taking those panels to put up for my front perimeter fence, that will save having to buy some more. It will also open up Harley's side to be alot bigger. I think it will all look better when I'm done and work really well. I'll get pictures when I'm done, It will be a few days.

Spend 15 minutes with a baby. I've never been really bit or kicked by an adult horse, but I have been kicked and bit by babies. All of them ;~D.
