Working harder and its getting hotter...


The rest of yesterday was pretty good. We finished putting up the round pen and it went up pretty easily... See, this is where girls rule, we plan ahead. Lol, so the pen is actually a circle which is great! We had finished most of the horse stalls. It was so hot eventually at about 3:30 we decided we were going to lake Hogan. Yeah another lake... J So we had a pretty good time there, it was so nice to cool off. We spend a couple hours there and then came back home and had a chilled night. I got to bed a bit late last night but I’m not too tired.

We have decided on our training schedule, we have been so busy with things at the ranch I have only been concentrating on working G and Red! I can’t wait to take G to the next show!! :D Here it is, I am obviously going to wake up at 5 as usual and feed etc. then I am going to ride Honey, Happy, Breezy, work Spice in the round pen, then ride G and Red. In that order... I am in for a couple of tiring days this week with temperatures reaching 109... Hot! LOL, We will def be going to the lake a couple of afternoons!

This morning started great, it was not too hot which was great! The horses broke the water valve again... So we have to manually watch the water again. They are ALWAYS breaking them!! Hehe, they chew everything they can fit their moths around, like puppies!! I was on my after feeding I came back in for like 20mins to wait for the horses to finish eating and when I went out again to tack up it was waaay to hot to even think about riding! So tomorrow I am def waking up earlier to feed!!

We needed to do a feed run so went into Tractor Supply in Modesto to grab some feed and tools. Its always a huge chunk out of the day because its far to travel into town but anyway we got everything we wanted except Alfalfa. So we drove around for a while trying to find some but we couldn’t. Eventually on the way back home we found a guy with a small yard selling rye hay with clover. So its okay for now I guess. This guys has such a green thumb though, we got talking with him and he showed us his little garden, he grows everything! Plums, grapes, corn, pumpkin, squash, oranges, sweet potato and so much more! He also has live stock, he has a few goats, chickens and cattle. He says if he ever goes to a store it is for flour and salt, the rest he gets out of his ‘farm’ even though its not huge! It was awesome to see that!

We back home now, its hotter than hell and we have to finish up building those stalls. So I’m off for now!! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I’ve lost 11.5 pounds since I’ve been here! Claps for mee!! LOL
