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 wouldn’t 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 70’s. 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 don’t 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.
