So this weekend didn't go as planned ....

Frodo was supposed to experience his first endurance ride today, however heavy rainfall yesterday and more today I decided it was in his best interest to not go out. In order for us to make time we'd have to be faster on a slippery trail than he's currently ready for. So instead we played on the obstacle course in-between showers. He is seriously the best boy 😍 He is so willing and has the kindest spirit. He's taken everything in and been his usual chill self. Even vetting in last night during thunder and lightning he was chill. He pulsed in at 38! I'm sad that we didn't go out today, but I know that was the best thing for our situation. We will try again in a month. Hopefully with more training we'll feel comfortable going out on a wet trail then.

Workout complete for the day.

Prepping for our first endurance ride of the season. We aren't even close to as prepared as I would like, but fun will be had.

This is the road headed from our house to the main road. The fence that goes underwater on the left is a standard 4ft fence. The water *is* going down, but slowly. For those coming out for lessons there is an alternate route that will add about 15mins coming from Elizabethtown. For those coming from Hodgenville, there is an alternate route that will add about 5-8 mins. Right now the aisle up to the arena is flooded. To get to the arena we need to walk around the pastures, up the neighbors side of the fence, then enter our property at the top pasture and access the arena from there. It's a lot 😞

Morning update on the farm. Levels rose again yesterday. Luckily the barn and chicken coop are still dry. 2/3 shelters are also still dry. Frodo still has about 12-18" of dry land to make it to his shelter. It could be worse.

Once again we are beyond flooded. And it's not stopping for hours yet. The roads aren't closed yet, but I suspect they will be soon. The water is already over them. I'm so sick of rain.

Edit***idk why my video shows sideways when posted, but normal for me to make the post 🤔

Spring vet day at the farm this morning. All horses were feeling their oats in the cool morning. And this guy right here got extra drugs to have his teeth done. 😆

I'd say Frodo is kid proof 😆🤦🏼‍♀️

Luckily the horses can make it to their new hay bale that was put out this morning, and they can make it to their water in the first pasture shown. It's Frodo's pasture and it's imperative for him to have that access. It's bad out there, but it could also be worse.

I do not have a pond. I do not have a stream or creek. However, today I do. This is the aftermath of the devastating storms that just blew through Kentucky. After we were already oversaturated. All I can do now is wait.

I am thankful that only my land is flooded. My barn is dry and my house is dry. We have all the supplies we currently need. It's going to be rough with highs in the 20's all week, but we will persevere.
