The bad storms missed us last night, but we did have some rain. Cooler temps are in store.
The manure is in a big pile now and yes it is a problem. When we only had two horses, the manure was spread around behind the barn or put into the garden all winter. The very wet summer and winter made it impossible to spread. Now with 5 head there is a lot more manure. In smaller piles, it will rot pretty fast. Flies are a nusance and we try our best to keep the populations down with traps and strips.
Check in with us after the ride and let us know! :~)
Just got in from riding. Had to cut it short, we got rained on:). I’m not “soaking” wet, but I’m fairly damp and cold. We did about an hour and half.
I was surprised that when I untacked Harley he was wet everywhere but under the saddle:)...We did lots of hill work and had them sweating pretty good before the rain hit. But anyway, he is not sore anywhere and doing fine.

And did he behave today? No more of the surging sideways hopping business I hope?
We’re getting rained on a bit here too. Good grass-growing weather. Good thing I mowed yesterday :~)
Sounds like you are going to get some severe weather.
Harley was fine today. He couldn’t have cared less when Celia got way ahead. I let her several times just because, and he was fine. He was walking good. We didn’t do much trotting. We stayed around the creek to do hills, it was close to home:). We didn’t want to get to far out in case of rain. Of course we didn’t get the rain till we had decided we were safe to go ahead and go out a ways tho:). It was really more a really really heavy mist more then rain.
I know they said something about severe weather, but I don’t think it will happen. The temps just aren’t getting as warm as they said, well at least right now they aren’t.

Well, batter your hatches, just in case.
2J reported possible tornado warnings an hour ago... are you guys still standing out there in OK?
We are fine, the tornado warnings, as far as I heard were in counties pretty far from here...we are under tornado watch...we are currently getting rain, thunder, and lightening.
Becky
OK - well thanks for checking in! From here, they seem close to you :~)
Are the fires effected you at all or is it pretty far away?
That’s a great picture. At lest he wasn’t too drunk to take off the horse’s saddle and bridle :)
I went to Walmart and guess what I forgot? I don’t know if I want to post or not though. Cocoa is gone. She and Cindy tore a picket loose and only Cindy came back. I figure someone took her because she has tags.
Oh my - maybe someone will return her, or she’ll come back on her own. Do you suppose Animal Control picked her up? Boy, I’m sorry about that. I have to admit, as much grief as some of these dogs give me, I’d hate to lose one of them.
I’m really sorry that’s happened.
Yeah. They kept getting out. We were going to buy her A shock collar that day. Would you believe Cindy hasn’t tried to get out one time since then. I really believe she dumps dogs!
That could be. I had a cat once that used to bring stray cats home. Animals are strange and smarter than we give them credit for.
