This week, was nice, I un willingly used the chain this week

 Monday I was so tired came late, we were ok, I think Jeff showed up to do the waters and some stalls.

One day, Monday or Tuesday cant remember wich day, Pattie came and did all the stalls before we got there but, its really not that helpful because its in a huge pile, inside the stalls and you need to try to carefully get the pitch fork into the thick mess, then lift as juch as you can to grt it out of the stall and into the ailse or huck it over (its a huge effort to do) huck it into the gator.  So although it was helpful it was a huge muscle thrust to chuck it into the gator. I apprecaited it but I was truly obeat.

Sunny a few days in.a row, Wed sunny but cold with wind,

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

No pictures Thursday [I forgot my phone]

Thursday cold misty rain but more rain coming in

I left Beau in after his session with Dr Katz, He did great, Katz says he looks better than hes looked in a while building his top line. I think hes happier too. he does so much of his stepping backwards, up around 5 times a week with 60 to 100 steps. On Wednesday he did over 100 in his stall.

Friday the forcast is pretty rainy, and it is also Wes's Birthday Oct 31st. On thrusday night I jmade up some bags of Halloween treats for the grandkids and also Mathew Krystyns boy.

I felt so happy to be able to spend time with beau outside, he was good with his chain. Maybe he'll be ok in the arena so long as he has a chain on his bridle?

Thinking more about the chain, I could use it more, walk Beau around the property without him running off into the woods or acting crazy.

Maybe walk more down the road and also doing some of his exercises in the arena.

Maybe he'd be fine riding so longas I have a chain on the bridle.  Just thinking.

Worked each day So tired Beau snuck out of the paddock

•  Monday
• 
  
• Tuesday 
• Wednesday
• Thursday
• beautiful day, finished up a bit late, both Muke and BEau were crazy about the grass
• Beau was so naughty I had to call Krystyn to help me. it was embarrassing but she was somehow ok with oit. She said on the phone that I could just slip the chainn over his nose and he wuld respect the chain and my direction. I felt uneasy.
• Krystyn walked up slowly, took the lead line, gave him some encouraging short length on the line then walked him right over into the paddock, through theline and he went in w/o an issue.
• Friday
• Thank god it was a slower day. Sunny, windy cool. I started right away, Bonnie and Krystyn go into the office for a bit
• We finished at about 1020 because Jeff came, did some stalls and changed out the waters.
• When I do the stalls, I do Millies first, her hoof is so sore still from the operation on Tuesday. They cut off her growth, blood all over the ailse of the floor

4th Week working at the barn, Tuesday visit with George

 This week I had to skip out on Tuesday because I was watching Goerge, I was able to go over to the barnn but didnt do any work, just did Ciso's stall then we walked around the farm, it was cold, wet and raining. We knew we needed to keep it short.

Indigenous Peoples day was Monday I worked but then took Tuesday off with George, it was good.

I worked 

Monday--Aiden was there when I got there it was pretty rainy that day. He has started the stalls and I jumped in and worked.  I texted Bonnie I thought that they werent there but Aiden was workinn hard. We did stalls together and Bonnie showed up later. It was a light day and I did a great job on my part.
He was dumping bales of hay over the edge into the ailses. It was exciting.

NOT TUESDAY but we went over to the barn, he watched me clear out Cisco's stall sat on a hay bale then 

Wednesday I forgot what happened if anything

Thursday - Oct 16th Nice weather annd Beau was able to be outside looking happy 

Friday Nice sunny day warm enough but fal is coming, I have been doing waters and if I get there early I thought flakes of hay to all the horses.

Saturday Oct 18th:
Took Wes and Chase over to the barn after going apple picking on Oct 18th.
The kids were great and Beau behaved. we shared apples and ran around the farm.

Going to work at the barn has given me some more time with Beau and less time on the weekends

 Its Oct 12th, Sunday there is a Nor'easter coming, dark out and getting darker. It was starting to rain at him and I felt kinda like I missed the best time to go to the barn. 

Workinng at the barn

 I have been working at the barn for 2 weeks starting my 3rd week today.

Its alot of work but I get to see my horse, 10 bucks an hour

If I work 9-11, Monday - Friday for each week of the month, I can save more than 1/2 the board.

Im able to take care of Beau, bring him out to the paddock at 11am everyday when, Dusty, Mac and Chewy come in from the morning. 

Beau goes out into the same paddock as Mac, I think it is.

I most days get to walk Beau out to his paddock, he is appreciating it.

Today we did some back ups in the paddock adn some other exercises.

With me coming over every weekday, hes doing way more exercise thenn he's ever done.

Moab Utah Red Cliff Lodge great rides

 Back from my trip but really still in Utah, it was something special, I think I could of just died after the trail ride.

• Took the long ride 2 1/2 hour met up at 730am. I had seen on the website that I was the only one but when I got there, there were 3 others anxiously waiting.
• The young couple were extremely talkative about their lives. I was also riding with an older man named Steve, he was alot more of a rider in my view. He had the ride booked for a year annd was very halppy to be there.
• The ride was taking huge down steep hills with terrible rocks and tons of thoese cactuses on the actual trails. I was unncomfortable because my horse Fitty was such a sweet boy the the terrain must have been difficult on his hoofs.
• Cassie was h ename of ghe guide.
• I was terribly sore after the ride, fo each of the dips into the canyon and out I placed my feet and weight into the stirrips to help my sweet horse, I had brought 3 apples, they were little from the hilton nd perfect snack.

Talked to Bonnie I start Monday Beau's lame front left hoof

 Busy on Saturdayand then Sunday I was tied up with the kids so Monnday I went over to start working at the barn and also soaked Beau's hoof, Krystyn texzted me ono Suday that Bdau was lame, he was totally limping on his front hoof.
