Good morning all.....haven’t been on due to my computer dying.
I got a new one at Best Buy a Sony Vaio that was on sale for a $699 and I had a $100 gift card so I went for it.
I am going to try to post some pictures of our new place in Aiken sometime today. I kind of forget how to do it so I have to fool around with it.
I love it here. It is going to be in the high 60’s over the weekend and I hope to go on a long trail ride. Waylon is really settling in. The other horse Jet has been renamed OBIE, in honor of my favorite late uncle who loved horses. Obie is definitely the dominant male and Waylon has the scars to prove it. Do you think I should separate them? Or is this usual? They neigh at one another if they are separated but when together Obie won’t let him near the hay or water.
Mr. Estrogen is up in Ohio putting his dad in a new nursing home. He was in assisted living that can’t handle him anymore. They are supposed to have a snow storm up there so I hope he gets back without running into a lot of snow.
I had friends from Ohio here last week and the husband wired our barn....what a job. He’s an electrician and put in all the stuff for the workshop, tack room and the two stalls. What a nice friend huh? He saved us an awful lot of money and I hope I can repay him somehow.
Well, look for my pictures hopefully today. (crossing fingers I can pull it off)
If you’re not putting out separate hay piles for them then you probably ought to. And as long as there’s a large enough water trough that Obie can’t drink dry before Waylon gets any then Waylon’s probably getting enough water by waiting to drink until Obie walks away from the trough. But if Obie continues to beat up on Waylon, even after they’ve been together for a month or so, then you probably ought to divide the pasture somehow to where they can still see each other but can’t fight. I made a small paddock for my old horse, Tennessee, out of electro-braid rope and a fence charger, not because of agression, but because Tennessee needed a dry lot with no grass because of his metabolic issues. It works out well for me.
