I did not get a whole lot done on the farm or with the horses last week. It stormed pretty much every night and some of the equipment is needing repair. We are awaiting several days with dry enough weather for first cutting hay...this does not appear to be that week based on the forecast.
Here is a quick catch up/rundown of what was going on in no particular order:
Got quote to put in more fence in reclaimed pasture area cleared by John and his friend Buddy Young
Sprayed *some* weeds in reclaimed area, this area has not been used for pasture in who knows how long...maybe never?
Planted some grass/red clover seed
Horse projects
Frosty got ridden at Spring Valley park
Speck and Frosty both got baths (Speck got bathed twice since he laid in poop)
Picked up one of those slow feed hay bags...we will see, the last one I tried Speck just chewed through the mesh so he could grab big chunks of hay like before
John's horse got his mane roached
Worked overnight shift on foal watch at Nandi Farm
Worked morning shift at Shady Dell Stables
Highlight of the week/weekend was taking Speck to the Andrew's Bridge hunt trail ride at Fair Hill, I grew up riding in this country and had not been back in ages. It was a long drive but totally worth it (especially since I wasn't driving). Speck did fantastic and it was a beautiful day.
