It's A November Post

"Blue"
It’s hard to believe November is here and we are getting ready for the winter months ahead of us.  I think it’s also about time I gave a short update on what’s been happening here.  Don’t get excited there isn’t much to report.  Blue is doing much better with his hoof issue so I’m happy about that.  He was spotted cantering in the pasture the other day and so I will try and get him started in some limited work this weekend.  We will start with some walking and see how he does in the indoor.  The footing is much better there than in the outside arenas.  I’ll post how he does next week.

Yesterday was Halloween and instead of getting treats I seem to have been tricked…royally! I had just let the dogs in when we all heard this huge crash.  They started barking and I ran to the window to see what was going on.  A huge tree from my neighbor’s yard had toppled into my side yard and taken out the fence.  I’m relieved that the dogs weren’t still out because they play over there and they would have been squashed.  It was so odd because there was no wind or rain.  I guess it just couldn’t take the stress after the storms we had for the two days previous.  Mega amounts of rain and wind howling most of the day and all night must have undermined the roots. 

Here are some pictures:

All that hard work deserves a rest!
