I came home with my horse Eli on Tuesday from Michigan (where he was wearing a winter blanket at night) to Missouri where I am in air conditioning and it is hot out. Summer really does continue down here in Missouri for pretty much the whole month of September.
Eli was a very good traveler and has been up and back to Michigan twice this summer in our new horse trailer. I have been putting him in the middle stall of the three horse trailer.
It is cute to watch the other horses here when we come back home. Bella, Ginger and Madison act happy to see Eli when we pull in. Once I unload Eli and turn him out with all of them, they all run around the pasture and kick up their heels--very fun to watch.
I met with Sandra and we have some plans to get working some more doing some Equine-Assisted Therapy going for the fall. We are looking for an indoor arena to work out of. Once fall comes there is just too much rain and mud to work without an indoor ring.
Today I worked on cleaning some stalls and also did some brush-hogging with the tractor. Then the tractor was getting low on diesel fuel so I quit. Eli is out on the big pasture now and there is some very good grass out there for him. The other horses cannot be on that pasture because they are a little overweight and that grass is too much for them. I can hear that it has started raining now but all the horses have access to a stall to keep dry.
Tomorrow is the WEG Endurance Competition in Lexington Kentucky. Good luck to everyone competing.
