Ok I got up at 6:30 this morning and made my coffee thinking about how im going to enjoy a day off (we all know how that goes) i got on the phone at 7:30 to call clients to schedule my week since nationals are coming up. At 7:45 i look out my porch window and ALL of my horses (9 full size) are running full bore up the drive way. I had them pastured about a 1/2 mile from here until the pasture is unleased from the other dude in Sept.
Ok im still trying to figure out how they ended up down here at that time come to find out they were out by the main highway and no one had my phone number but they knew where i lived. A "good" samaritain (sp) decided to chase them to my house but one big problem i have a 6' wide cattle guard at the entrance to my place and anyone who has horses knows that the 2 dont mix considering there is a 6 month old colt with them. thank the gods they are all ok must have jumped it. So now i have to quickly put up a fence around 4 acres with minimal supplies i had 9 new posts in my truck other wise i was digging in the open barns to see what was left here. had to spread them out alittle farther then i wanted so its worked. Found enough barb wire to go around it but didnt have any fence ties (gotta love baling wire) and before anyone cruxifies me about barb wire, smooth and electric wont work with my knot heads they know if they hit it hard enough it wont hurt. Then i have to find enough of the annoying plastic grocery bags to tie on the fence (good thing i didnt burn trash last nite) got that all done and fenced. FINALLY
Then realize im out of dog and human food so run to town to get that and on the way baack i suddenly remember i left the water running to the stock tank and im not on well water.
When i get back they are mowing the cemetary that came with this place spooking the 2 colts and not caring, as they are running around it is driving twister (my stud) nuts that he cant keep everyone together it was worse then a circus here.
Started the chores fed the dogs, hayed the minis, and when it came time to graining the little ones the big ones said "WHAT ABOUT US?" so had to give them some to.
So i am finally able to sit down and its almost 7
WHAT DAY OFF?
thank you that was my weekly rant
P.S. i got blisters under my callusis now so OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
