2nd Week in Nov working the barn

 Monday rain doing the stalls is tough, but still ok. Monday's Matthew goes to school and there is a fast pace to get chores done quickly. It was cold raining windy, first real cold I wore gloves until I did the waters in the stalls. I have to check them a few times to make sure they stay full. The guys were in and ended up drinking 1/2 of the buckets of water. Had to get a jug to fill it up again so they would have enough water.

Equine Affaire 2025, if only Val and I had only one more day

 Really enjoyed the day but it seems like it was hard to get everything I wanted done.  We did not even get to the big barn for a visit, but did alot of stuff.

Thursday night George went in for his lesson with Kayla, and Friday Val and I headed to Springfield for Equine Affaire

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 forecast 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 long as I have a chain on the bridle.  Just thinking.

Friday

Patti comes be if I am at the barn late enough she did come by

Saturday

It was the opposite of my weekdays of bringing Beau out to his paddock, I was luckey enough to be able  to bring them into the stalls, we did our backward steps about 60+.
Each day we walk backwards, I started to pat his neck everytme he does amazing things, then give him a snack. <3
