Mid July.  And, this week its going to be hot.  Ugg. My horses prefer standing in the barn, to being outside, which really I can’t blame them. I have these enormous biting flies, and then this black deer fly shaped flies, that are wicked biters…  so our turn out schedule has altered, with everyone getting turned out, late after noon, usually after 3, to stretch their legs, and graze for a bit.  I also hate to ride in this heat, I find I am getting to be less or a rider, and more of just a horse keeper,  I find myself  just not up to getting out and getting on.  I need to change that… but, with temps going into the hight 80’s,  it won’t be today,,,, Off to hay… have a great day.

Finally, there is hay in the barn, only a small amount, but enough to get thru the next couple of weeks, until I get more, the weather has been wonderful, and dry, and the hay makers are working hard. Its such a feeling of gratitude, so see those bales being stacked in the barn.  I am worried about the cost this year, I haven’t had the energy to really draw in more business,  so my horses are mostly hanging out, eating hay.  I am at loose ends about teaching lessons, and not sure I want to do it anymore.  But Satin and my daughters pony are doing well. So, there is that….  Off to hay, and turn out..
