So we got there at the usual time, and found that all the horses had already been put out, because they were all going to church for their cousin’s confirmation.Strangely sad I did not get to put any horses out this weekend.We got a lot done, at least, and quickly too. Mucked really fast: the one advantage of doing it both days. Then I went and got Quattro and Q and. Zara just stayed up at the top of the hill and refused to follow us down so. I left her there for partner to get.I cleaned both horses, then put Q in a stall where he could scream at the ponies outside and took Quattro out. We ran around for a bit, but. Didn’t end up doing much because he was a little sore on one hoof. Might have an abscess, might just be sore, hard to tell, but hey. He’s been good, and I figured it was okay to let him rest some. He still wanted to run like an idiot, but. I didn’t want him hurting himself.I ended up riding Q back up to the pasture and let them out to run around. Forgot their flymasks but the temperature’s dropped thirty degrees and it’s now hotter inside than outside, so the flies weren’t exactly out in force today.Also. Apparently Potato, the semi-feral cat, knocked Anti’s avocado toast off the counter and gobbled the entire thing up. She also ate three baby rabbits yesterday. She is literally bulging fat. The horrible little monster.I finished today by going out to see Jaeger. Cleaned his hooves, then jumped on his back and just. Hung out with him for a bit before hopping off. I climbed on by using a barrel I found, that must have rolled out of the arena: it wobbled like crazy but hey ,somehow I managed not to fall off or die.I watched partner ride Zara, then wandered around and touched the other horses. Buff attempted to eat my head and my ear, and Tosh mashed his nose right into my face. I have so many horse cooties.I’m glad though. I’d rather have horse cooties than people cooties.I’m going to go flop in bed now. Lordt, it’s been a long week. -- source link
