Spa Day

I said I’d be back in September and although a little late I made it with time to spare.  Yesterday all seven horses took advantage of the menu below:

 SPA RULES

SHENANIGANS IN THE WASH STALL

(I’m happy to report all were well behaved and enjoyed apples after their spa treatment)

There hasn’t been much going on riding wise as I’ve been busy with other farm work. The weather throughout August was so hot and humid that neither the horses nor I felt like riding and dealing with the temperatures or the bugs.  I think the weather is on the turn to the cooler side now and plan on riding a lot more.  Autumn is my favorite season and I think the horses enjoy it too.  They seem to like the cooler nights because they’ve opted to stay out instead of coming in for dinner most of this past week.

Until next time
