Beautiful day yesterday and today
I am now back. I've been busy going to equestrian team meets in Wenatchee and Moses Lake and back. I got my last one in Wenatchee next weekend. I have to take our 23-year-old Arab gelding next weekend because Fox has a little virus. It's nothing too serious. He's getting better. The vet advised us not to do anything stressful with him for at least two weeks because that's about how long it takes for a virus to totally clear out of a horse's system. If did anything stressful with him with a virus then it could turn into something potentially serious such as pneumonia. Even though he's getting better and he seems fine, we are just taking extra precautions. The equestrian team will be having a clinic with a trainer named Charlie Hansen in 3 weeks. I will definitely be riding Fox in it. I will also be riding Fox in the Mule Days Parade with the equestrian team too. We took Mythical and Jessie, our 11-year-old Morgan mare to a clinic with our friend, Shelley Kerr. It turns out that Jessie is too much to handle for my mom. So we are putting her up for sale. We have 8 horses right now. 5 full sized horses and 3 ponies. All together that makes 8. We are serious about cutting our herd in half. We made up our mind and we decided who's going. Jessie, our 11-year-old Morgan, Indy, our 11-year-old Arab, Lily, our 8-year-old pinto Shetland Pony, and Butters, the coming 2-year-old Shetland/Welsh pony cross. Of course Danny, Fox, Myth, and Hala are not going anywhere. Our internet is slow I can't post any pictures of the meets. I will do it as soon as I can.

Wow. You've been busy. I hope Fox improves fast for that clinic. It'll be a good one to attend. It's probably a good idea to cut your herd. Is Lily ridable by little kids? I might be interested in her for our grandkids. Our little pony will never be rideable, but could probably use a buddy. Although, I don't know if my husband would be up to another horse. :/
ReplyDeleteShe's leadline broke. But she's got such a good mind, that she does have the potential to become a bridle broke pony. You can maybe call my mom and talk to her.
