Last Saturday Elvis began his journey down to St. Louis. We had all the
paperwork done and his departure went of without a hitch. I even
got one day of trailer loading practice in with him. Everything went pretty well as far as loading
goes. Once I got him in a similar position like we had practiced he went right
in. He is very smart so I knew it wouldnt be a problem.
Last weekend we also had a little excitement here at the farm. Seven new horses
are boarding here for a few weeks. They
are all being housed in our mare barn. It is quite a crew. There are horses of
all shapes and sizes, including one appaloosa. We are helping a friend out
until her farm is ready in two weeks out in Colorado. We had to move all of our
horses around to accommodate them, but everything seems to be working out so
far so good.
The horses are sure enjoying the weather here. The beginning of
the week was in the low 70s. It is great to be able to open up the barn
doors and let all the fresh air in. Everyone seems to be getting along here. It
is so neat to see the one pasture with five horses in it how they really stay
together as a herd. We normally dont ever have that many in one place with our
horses, so they tend to hang out a lot on their own. These new
boarder horses really stay in one big group. You know, like you see in the
old west movies.
