midnightsjaneIt's really a good thing that Dusty, one of our young horses (3 years old, 17 hands high!) is such a quiet, calm girl. I was putting her in the arena for a run today, since it was too rainy and miserable for them to go out, when I did a pratfall right under her feet. Tripped on my rubber boots and fell flat on my face. She just stood there with a puzzled look on her face - hey, why are you lying down?...lol
We've started getting the youngsters' manes and tails fixed up. They all look a bit ratty at the moment, losing their winter fur and all. Florrie's mane was so long it looked like she was some kind of Rastafarian, with her dreadlocks. We had to take scissors and cut it short enough so we can fix it with the magic comb that makes it look like the mane has been pulled. We have decided it's going to be our project of the next couple of weeks, making them all look presentable. Get it done before the new babies make their entrance.
Phaedra is due May 27th and Kismet is due June 16th. Hopefully they won't decide to pop on the same date...Kismet is often a couple of weeks early. We are going to be busy!
In other news, I've finally finished my taxes (I know, I'm late). Being part owner of a farm has benefits..there are tax write offs! Yay! I get money back this year.
Would the nice weather hurry up and get here? I'm tired of wearing my winter jacket.
