Only on Saturday, Wes birthday sunday


 Its funny, Beau, hes sometimes amazing, I have lots of ideas on my head, I visualize that I will tack him up and walk him. I visualize that hes going to act like he did the last time that I brought him out.

Pattie wasnt able to come to the barn on Saturday, nice and quiet.

I walk up the hill, its just me. but the Larry and Margier end up comind in. I decide to work in the paddock with Beau.

Hes in a nice paddock and I pray he stays there for a long time. But hes been moving about from one of the top of the hill paddocks to another. 

Hes on the end now but I think they are doing a part day out with Dusty. I kinda dont like it.

Anyway, I was walking up the hill with a bag of snancks, a brush and the pick for his hoofs.

As I was walking up the hill, he calls to me. its very cool. Anyway I get up there. Still working on his paddock gate manners. Hes ok, really tries.

70s so nice at the barn, quiet

 Newer horse, that belongs to the nurse that has 5 total horse, her name if Diane. I met her one night this sumer when I went to the barn to do supplements one night. She was telling me she just saves them from the racetrack. One of the horses was racing with a broken or seriuosly crushed hoof.

Well she is very nice and she has gotten her 5 horse, the 5th horse's name if Artesian xxx, I didnt read the 2nnd name correctly So she has Romeo, Juliett, Millie Aleah and now this one. Very sweet, Patti is very interested in getting to know her. She said she'd love to work with her and that she'd like to meet Diane and talk to her about it. I can imagine that she is thinking about riding another horse. i guess its been a long time for her that she's had Sienna.

Today was good, I spent time in the paddock, stretched out, checked his feet Walked him backwards. Got some beautiful pics of Beau in the sun and the trees.
We walked around the property. Beau, no pushing, easy walking, we went around the barn and its been going good with him. I have been making sure that he is walking but continueally to keep him moving. I want to get back to walking the road. It will be ok to graze we need to eat the grass while we have grass. Before it gets cold, and there is no grass I have to get him walkingn the road.
Today, I didnt want to try too much because the 3 Greenwood trucks, one dump truck and 2 excavators were working on the mound of dirt piling it up and taking it away. I dont like when the work so near the barn, actaully I hate it and think that they shoud avoid going across the barn with the horses all the time.
The young couple with 2 horses were there today. They are pretty quiet and kinda totally to themself. I dont like that they use chains on thier horses at all. I saw her prancing around the arena with that poor horse doing a strange high step that seems terribly unatural. 
June wanted to move to our side and move one of the horses over to the other side beasue she does not like the newer couple, thinks that they were maybe a nice loving couple that are both at the barn together and havingn a horse each of their own. They are cute. 2 horses, If June thinks they are hogging the arena, then she must understand that her use of the arena all these years, and comments about having and payign double board, now goes for them. An the newer woman with 5 horsese, she can do whatever she needs to do. Very nice lady.

Monday holiday went for a quick hello :)

 Just a quick hello and shared some snacks. its was raining out and both Sienna and Beau were in. I think it would be good for him to be out but since Sienna was in I know that they appreciate the company. Krystyan asked me if I wanted him out for the 2nd half of the day because she is doing 1/2 days with Dusty and Beau. I really like Beau out but I knwo there are all these new horses that are high strung Im hoping that Beau gets back on schedule.







Well we were able to have a good visit, I was going to leave but I thoguht I could pup Beau in the indoor arena do some exercies, let him run and roll, plus do his supplemnts.

So I walked around gave everyone snacks who was in (both Romeo and Muck were in) then brought the good boy out to the arena, he was well behaved. We did his walking backwards and his listening. He worked on his pick up the cloth. He for once picked it up iwth his teeth not just mouthing it for the snacks.

It was a gsreat day. I did his supplemenkts becuase he was dangerously low so I did like about 12. He should be good for 2 weeks. I realized hes not getting cocoa soya anymore maybe he needs it.

I am using the Horseshine maybe instead.






The new mare that is replacing Kinsey inn the mare paddock is very mean to Jolie and Spice.
Yetsterday whenn Margie was returning the horses into the paddock, Juliette was so aggressive at the gate. I was out on the other side of the hay barn and I watched them scary me with thier sort of weak handling of the horses and Juliette pushig Margie around. The way Juliette bites at Jolie makes my heart sad.


Positng pics later. I stayed about 1 1/2 hours not too bad, came to work pretty late.

70s this Saturday, so beautiful Beau was learning and walking so nicely

 Sienna was on the cross ties, I could see that she was seeming to be a bit down. No one else was a the barn, just Patti and I. Sienna had a large bump on her neck, I had accidentally touched it and realized that there was something wrong. Patti later told me it was a blood blister, that Keri saw it this week and that she thought that the move of Kristin leaving and Kinsey is out of the mare paddock, Juliette the aggressive new mare of the very sweet lady that has 5 rescue horses may have bit her.

The woman who has these horses as adoptions, spending 650 times 5, for the adoptees is something special. I met her one night at the barn, late. She is a nurse and came over to meet up with her horses late night. I think she may be the nicest person I have met there at Greenwood.

Talkingn to Patti, I asked how Sienna was doingn, she paused, she said just ok. She wasnt riding today Sienna didnnt seem to want to.  Patti told me that Sienna wasnt having the best week. 2 days ago, the were riding on the raod, and She went down on both front legs. Patti said that Sienna lifted herself back up and really tried to continue. 





Sienna fell down on her knees on the road this week with Patti riding her, she got back up on her own but Patti is seriously worried about Sienna pushing herself too much.

She really likes to have Patti ride her around the property.

She may think that Sienna is finished being a riding horse, the arena ridinng may not be the only thing that she wants. She said she may ask if she can work with other horses, like the nnew rescue.

There is a rescue horse that the nice lady named xx thats a nurse has recenntly purchased.  Patti wannts a horse to ride around the Greenwood property. She was sayihng that shes worried Sienna doesnt have alot of riding left. She been experiencing lots of issues.

Patti says she is interested in looking at other horses to ride, while keepingn Sienna in shape. but not really riding her.

We talked for a while before I went up to Beaus paddock. He was in Dusty's paddock. Its a nice one and he liked it. The horse in his paddock.

After I Left Patti said that she was talking to June and that June does not like the new pepel on her side and she was trying to get her horse moved over to our side. I was not happy to hear such a negative attitude SHe wanted to move her high demand horse over by August, Beau and Sienna. Not sure when she would not get along with those 2 people. They come and mind their own business and they have 2 horses. Patti was talking like June thought that the rescue horse should be moved away from her other horse family because she was not willing to give more and share the ailse. Not sure whats up with her.

She was on the phone with Patti, saying she was considering leaving to move to NH where her lesson horse is right now. She is sort of leasing a horse up there and spending time here is westford less and less.

Pattie was sharing the positives to moving out, it seems like a crazy sort of conversation.

Saturday sunny in the 70s

 Got there late after 2pm.  I had to wait for my butterfly to be comfortable, and is finished drying and then, I had to put him out on a healthy zinnia for the afternoon. Then he crawled over to the parsley flowerette andn rested then flew away















.

Patti was there sweeping like she sometimes does. She said that I just missed Kristin leaving with Kinsey. She said it was very sad, none was there she packed alone, put the horse in the trailer. Patti said that Kristin was sad, thats too bad. She left a sweet note brownies and a bouquet of flowers. 

Thought I just take it easy. I took Beau from the paddock, there was a really wierd thing the paddock I knew that I had to do his supplements.  

Upside down gate with 3 sharp metal stakes too near the horses facel As I got Beau out of the gate (o so carefully) I was nervous so I took a pic annd then sent it to both Bonnie and Krystym.

We walked around the farm, Beau did good I wanted to walk down the raod but Im going to work on arunnd the hay barn, Another area I like it behind the main barn in the woods but the greenwoods always over there doing wierd spoooky stuff.

I want to start to saddle him more, walking places that hes comfortable then, have him go into arena with saddle and do a small ride. Im hoping hes onn board.

Later Patti and I took the hrse out and tipped the gate back. She is funny, feeling like the captain all the time. I think she wants to work there or run the barn.

June said a wierd thing, asking about using the arena, making sure that she coordinated. I know its because of Kristy. Shes not a nice person, talkingn trash about me. I am fine and will get along good.  Happy that Kristy has founnd a friend and I responded very sweetly that day. One day they will be on the other end of some one like themselves. May never Learn that you should be treated the way you want to be treated.  Taking someones turn or pushing someone around like Krusty is just bad behavior.

Saturday and Monday good weather warm still

 Krstin B is leavng the barn next weekend. Patti and Lynn put together the ideas that giving Kristin a nice cash send off will help her in the future. She wants to have a baby and shes so involved with driving down to Mass to do the chores of the at the barn. She is moving Kinsey up to NH barn where she is already working. We gave her a card and 150 cash.

On Saturday, the day was funny. It seemed busy at the end. When I got there the tractor was combingn out the mares paddock and Patti and Amanda were working on Seinnas paddock. Sienna was in her stall.

It was kinda hot, I went up to the paddock and brought the wheel barrow and shovel. started to work on the poop again. Beau didnt now exactly what do do about me doing this cleaning of poop. He was sort of feeling ignored. Well it was cute, he ended up accidenntly hitting his head on the shovel. I felt bad. I ended up shoveling alot againn this week and brought the wheelbarrow and dumped it. Patti had been pulling the weeds around Beau's paddock.We were having such a nice time working on the paddock that June walked up sort of to hang around while we were shoveling shit. Funny really. The trailer pulled in and the older couple pulled in with Spice and Jolie. They donnt look very stronng. Larry had broken his back last year.




Came back after work on Monday, Beau was sort of warm maybe over heated, Lynn had brought in Beau, not sure why. I sometimes just say thanks even though Im not sure why. I dont get to bring him in much inn my life and its sort of a special moment. Again those guys do things that I dont always understand but I guess its good when people watch out for you when you are not there.

I like this pic of Beau, he was being nice, hes trying to be a good kid, trying to listening.
Didnt feel like doing much in the arenna. There are times when Beau did not seem to want to run around but wants to do the trick training that we do along with the exercises. I think hes a good boy lately.
The little goat is so cute, Pancake sweet little one and his little sounds are adorable but I worry about him.
