Hey there frog, great trail pics! It looked like a beautiful day. I envy you in your t-shirt, it’s starting to get cool out here.

Amen, on the bit issues. I don’t see why tack stores won’t let you exchange.

I just now saw your pics about digging that stall out. I don’t know why I didn’t see them before. But I do know that that’s darned hard work. I did that last fall to the run-in area where the mares and colts stay and it was a JOB. I did get to do some of it with the bucket on the tractor, but the space was too small to do much with it and I ended up having to do the rest with a manure fork and a wheelbarrow. Just getting it pried up with the fork was a major accomplishment, and then each fork-full probably weighed nearly 50 pounds. It nearly killed me by the time I was done. And of course since it was too hot to work on it this summer, it’s right back to the way it was before. AAAARRRRGGGHHH!!! Why do mares have to be so messy?! Putting down the mats and keeping it cleaned up regularly like you do the inside is definately the way to go.

It was a really pretty day but it started out pretty cool. I had a jacket on when we started out, but by lunch-time I was pretty warm and had to come out of it. I love the weather this time of year. The night-time temps are heavenly!

Never mind, I see you’ve already seen it. I’m apparently the slow one. Duh!

Hey y'all, I need some advice here. I've listed Ellie and Goose on AgDirect and I got this e-mail on Goose, whose registered name is Delight's Blue Knight, and was debating on whether to respond to it or not...

"Please send me information on Delight's Blue Knight. If you will send me your phone number, I can give you a call with any questions I have."

I found it to be a bit off-putting since there was no greeting and no signature or anything, but the e-mail address was a person's name at juno.com. Do you think this is just some scammer or just a rude person?

I hear ya on the weight of this stuff. I've been breaking it up with the metal hay fork and then scooping it with the manure fork. We may hire someone to blade away the outside part approaching the barn where it's also built up (we'll see when we can budget ~that~) but no way to get a bucket in the lean-to so it's cheap...

Pony finds this just fascinating. Got it cleared all the way to the outside wall now, but Now snapfish is giving me the same errors it gave Duchess last night, so I guess I'll have to get back to work and the pics will have to wait. ;~\

I don’t know, you’re right it does sound odd... follow your gut on those things... if you do give your number and the call doesn’t smell right, it’s probably just the stuff coming out of my lean-to..

And speaking of smells, isn't the stench coming off of all that old horse pee the most nose-curdling thing you've ever smelled?! The ammonia off of mine was even burning my eyes. Made me want one of those Israeli gas masks!

Lets just say I'm thankful for the scented bath beads I'll be soaking in at the end of the day.

Well one of my pictures finally uploaded... It's pony.

What, me, in the way?"

Sounds like just a rude person but I’d just email them back and ask them what questions they might have and could I send them pictures.

This pony is crackin' me up. She's just right in the middle of things. And I hate to push her out of the way because it's good that she's being this social. She just thinks this new pony obstacle course project is pretty dang interesting. ;~)

Got it cleared all the way to the outside wall and about 5 feet in. When I find dry stuff I'm just spreading it thin, much nicer footing.

You sure got a work out today. The run will be so much better for you, when you are done.

Nice ride pictures.

DO NOT answer that email inquiring about your horses. When I had Bodie for sale on AgDirect, I received so much junk mail. Not until it sounds like a real person and not spam, then I would answer. People who are interested in your horses, will ask for more information.
