FRIDAY morning volunteers. And yes, Donna had to buy a new matching halter and lead shank to match Cameo's blue and black rain sheet. Cameo is the most fashionable horse in the barn thanks to Donna who loves to spoil her.

GOT a decent start on organizing the training room this morning with Mary's help. We worked on sorting bits. Just finished this pegboard and have started another. My bits are pretty simple: a lot of egg-butt snaffles. I have a small collection of Weymouths and bridoons from showing saddleseat and some western bits given to me, a few with some nasty leverage and such that have never been on my bridles. Still it is interesting to display them. As they say, the bit is only as harsh as the hands on the reins. My preference has always been "less is best."

I started sorting through the bitting rigs and other training paraphernalia tweeks. I will then move on to bridles and harnesses. Such a massive undertaking sorting through decades of equipment. Once that portion is done, I can start on the cleaning and oiling of multiple harnesses, bridles, saddles and the like over the winter months.

TOOK our ailing senior feline to the vet for some treatment today. Bobcat got his sneeze and wheeze back. Funny enough, part of his regimen is a very tiny dose of Lysine which I have in abundance for the old horses. The dose is extremely small but at least that is one medicine I already have. He is also on a course of antibiotics for the next 10 days. Bobcat weighs just over 17 lbs. so he needs to go on a diet! That obesity isn't helping. (no more treats!)

BIOSECURITY... why it is so important in the stable. This is just one of many reasons to safeguard your resident horses. All volunteers, boarders and clients are reminded to be conscious of contamination and/or transfer from other farms if your are visiting them. Change footwear/clothing and wash hands. It is our practice to quarantine any new horses that may come to our stable; something we have practiced for decades.

PLEASE extend a warm welcome to Julie (pictured on the right) who joined us this morning for the first time. She was learning on the fly with her sister-in-law Penny guiding her. That's ok Julie. Penny didn't know a thing about horses either when she joined. Sorry I couldn't have more time to explain things and routine to you. Next time. Look forward to having you with us at the farm.

A HURRIED morning as I had to rush through things in order to leave for an appointment. I did have lots of help this morning with my crew of senior volunteers. My apologies for not spending any quality time with our newest member joining us today. I'm sure Penny was a good mentor. Here are a few pics from this morning and grooming sessions.

HE thinks he is a horse. His only toy he's ever played with is a lounge whip. Bob played with him tonight in the arena. The old dog ran and leaped like a silly old man that he is.
