I drove down to the stable a little sad i had just put an ad up to sell Flip. I loved him alot but i had to make room for new foals. i got out and went to feed my mares Twist was due in a couple of days so i gave her an extra half a scoop. i walked out and gave it to them. I then went out and checked on the stallions i had taken them off there feed and let them live on grass. i came back and let the mares out to pasture and went into my office and considered some sale options for Flip.

I sighed, and got up to go fetch Reb. I walked out and slipped his halter on. I smiled and scrtached his forehead. "Your gonna be a father soon boy"! i smiled and lead him into the barn and groom and tacked him up. i walked him outside and mounted up. I didn't really feel lik etraining again today so i walked him up to the pond and dimounted adn took his tack off. I found a tree stump and remounted. I lead him into the water and we went swimming for about an hour. I brought him out and tacked him up again and walked him back to the barn. I untacked him and hosed him off. I turned him out to pasture and went to bring my mares in. I feed them all and went to feed my two new girls Rose and Glory. i yelled good night to everyone and went up to the house too see Rafi.

I drove down to the stable and got out and walked into the mare barn. I went into the feed room and made up 5 buckets of feed two for my new arrvals and 3 for patty, may, and Twist who was due tomorrow. after the mares had finished i turned them all out except Twist and out her halter on and lead her around for about an hour then put her back in her stall with water and some hay. I went into the office and turned the servallance camera on. I sat down and filled in some paper work and finally decided on some stallions for my mares. Rose was being bred to Bailey and irish draught owened by Carole. Twist was being bred to Gargoles Flight an appaloosa stallion owned by Xena. Patty i was still wondering about as well as Glory. I sighed and got up to go get some stallions too ride. I pulled out Montie and gromed and saddled him up. We warmed up and rode to the pond which was thw start to another cross country course i had. I circled him at a trot and started down a narrow trail. we came to a small log and popped over no problem. Next was a jumble of rocks about 2 foot we walked over it. I cntered around a tree and did a brush jump that lead up a hill which we went down and jump a small stream. We contenude to a bigger log about 3 ft and cleared easly. We came around another turn and Montie slipped but kept his footing. I let my breath out not noticing that i was holding it. we came to the last jump a simple double log we finished the course and i gave him a pat on the should and a "Good Boy!" We walked back to the stable and i checked his legs thankfully they were fine, i untacked him and hosed him down and turned him out.
I walked back and checked on twist and made she she was comfertiable i put some more wood chips in her stall to make it softer and gave her a pat on the head.

Twist had her foal a cute appaloosa Filly!!! Sadly Diva is already gone i traded her for a stallion that i can breed to Patty. i was going to breed Twist to Flight on monday, so i gave her a day off and sent her out into the pasture. i checked on May who was due in alittle over a week. Nice and round! I walked in and gave all my mares feed, Rose was pregnate so i took her for a light ride around the pond. i came back and hosed her off and turned her out. today was a day off for my stallions soi brought them all in and gave them a littel grain, and took reb out. I put him in cross ties and started to clip him.i gave him a saddle pad clip cuz it was getting hot, and turn him back out and got out Montie who got a full body clip and he looked great! I turned him out and put the rest of my stallions out and went into my office. i still needed two mares. i continplated creating them, If mares didn't go up for sale or adoption. At that time Rafi walked into my office with a nice size mouse in his jaws "ahhh Rafi take it out side!" i shoved him out so he could eat it by himself.

i dorve in and went to make sure all my stallions were in good heath. I went into the broodmare barn where May,Twist,Rose, and Patty where all staying. May was very plump and i was hoping for a heathy foal. I went into the feed room and made up there morning feed i took it out them and went to check on Glory and feed her. I was still looking for a stallion for her, but i'd wait for the right one. I went out to my stallions and got out Montie and took him up to the stable and groom and tacked him up. i walked him out and mounted. i went into the ring and warmed him up then tok him out to the race course. I shortend my sturrips and collected my reins. I let my do a slow canter then let him out more and gave him a breezing. we slowed and i cooled him out then untacked him and hosed him off. I sent him back into his pasture and went to get Will. i groomed and tacked him then mounted we went on a nice trail ride with a few small jumps and came back. I untacked him and hosed him down. I turned him out and went into my office to see about some mares.

I drove my truck in with Bo in the back and stop infront of the stable and unloaded my new TB mare Liana. I lead her inot the mare barn and into an empty stall and got her a hay net and some water. I walked out with Bo at my heels and went to grain my other mares and get Glory out and exersice her. Before though i put all my mare except May who was due in a few days on the hotwalker at a walk for some exercise! i then turned May out and went to tack up Glory. I groomed and tacked her up and took her out on a trail. I turned her on a small course of logs i set up for beginner jumpers. We started at a trot and hopped the first one with ease landing into a canter. We continued on to a jump around a corner and popped over and landed easy. We came to a small stream and Glory hasted i gave her a nudge and she took a huge leap! we landed safely though a little out of the saddle on the other side. I gave her a pat and continued on to the last jump a small pile of rocks we took with ease. I smiled and praised her. We walked back to the stable and i untacked her and hosed her down and turned her out to graze. I walked back to the mares on the hotwalker and stopped them and turned them out too. i Didn't feel like riding my stallions so i brought in, Dawn, Reb, Benn, and Will. i put them on the hotwalker and turned it one and went into my office i had a lot of foals coming in and i needed to sort out some stuff if i was going to keep any or not.

I dorve in with bo in the back and got out. i grained all my mares and amde sure they had water and hay then went to bring in my stallions. I cought Reb and Montie for today and left Benn for later. i took them both in and went to put my mares on the hotwalker. i came back and took Reb out and groomed and tacked him up. i mounted and went into the western arena i set up a trail course and we started we went around some cones then over a wooden bridge kinda thing we loped around a barrel and did a circle inside a square made of poles. we stopped and i cooled him out and untacked him it was hot and sticky so i hosed him down and turned him out. i walked back and took my mares off the hotwalker and turned them out to graze and went to groom and saddle Montie. I took him into the indoor arena so it would be cooler and set up some jump and mounted. we warmed up and i pointed him at the first jump an easy 1 and half footer we flew over and i heard Montie snort is disguste at having to jump somthing so low. I turned in to arena corner and headed down the middle to the 2 ft oxer again we flew.
i had set up a 3 ft double oxar and wanted to see what Montie would do. Scofing at it we took off and landed Montie giving a small buck of joy when all the way down. we turned and did a 2 and a half foot cross rail and did a finishing circle and stopped. I walked him out i took him back and untacked him then hosed him down i turned him out and went back to the barn and started cleaning tack with Bo at my side.

I drove into the stable yard with B barking his good morning to all the horses. i smiled and lowered the tail gate for him to get out. i walked to the broodmare barn where all my girls now where and grained them add some mare & foal i just bought to each one. i made sure they had water and went to get my boys in. i brought them all in so i could give them baths and such. i came back and out all my mares on the hot walker sept Rose who was due tomorrow i turned her out in a small pasture close to the stallion barn to keep in eye on her. I walked back into the stallion barn and to to work i set up the hose and a soapy water bucket and pulled out Dawn and got to work i spraied him down and lathered him up i rinsed him off and misted his face and ears. I sweat scraped him and put him back in his stall with some water and hay and did the same to the rest. I finished with Benn and went to take my mares off the hotwalker. I put them out to graze and went back to the stallions. i again got Dawn out now dry and got my grooming brushes and started first with curry and bdy brush finishing with a soft face brush then i picked his hooves and oiled them shiny. i again went threw this with all of them. i finished and out them all on the hotwalker for a little exercise and went to bring Rose in. I gave her a little more grain and stuck a minerale block in her stall then went to fill her hay bag and made sure she had water. i urned her servalliance camera on and went into the office with Bo to watch and read.
