News from the Ranch


It's been a busy week here, with lessons every day, preparation for the weekend's Expo and the re-education/rehabilitation of an elderly mare (follow the story on my Facebook profile and pages if interested). The mornings are dark until after 7am and nights are getting colder - which means friskier horses with more energy! Feed rations have just been raised, part of the property been sprayed for capeweed (gotta do it) and checking hooves for thrush and seedy toe as the humidity increases. Having fun developing Bonanza for his role as a clinic partner and teaching little Cisco some new tricks along with putting Arriba through his paces in preparation for the weekend!
