The grooming kit just got a serious upgrade! Been looking at dog grooming blowers for awhile, the one I liked most was finally on sale. This thing is amazing! Angel doesn't care at all, look at all the sand and dander blowing off. I did lower the volume of the video, the box says 70db but it is loud like our leaf blower. Works great on Gator and Melody's mediumish thick hair, Angel's long very thick hair was the real test. Worked so good, it transfered all the dirt from her to me. Looking forward to spring shedding now, gonna blow it all away!

Even more fencing work going on for this holiday weekend. Always fun to have to dig 4 times as many holes trying to find a spot between the big tree roots. But I got all the rotted fence posts replaced on this run of fence! I was supervised by my nosey herd aka the queen and her subjects making sure their human slave was doing a good job. At this point the only perimeter posts left to replace are really tricky ones literally grown over by trees.

Projects never stop here at the farm and since we have some days off for the holidays, we decided to work on more fencing. Probably the biggest bonus to taking down the fence is we got to rip out this annoying tree that kept growing back every year after I'd keep cutting it out. Gator of course had to be supervising our work and helped pull out roots. Once we got it pulled out, Stormy the safety inspector came through to make sure we were going to smooth out the ground and make it safe for pony feet.

There are plenty of hay bags hung on the big track, but P***y and Sunny prefer to stand and watch Melody eat from 1 and just wait until she moves off to then nibble from that same bag. They are such a goofy group to put together sometimes.

Enjoying this lovely fall weather by washing the horse trailer. Turns out, both sides are white! Because we park under trees, the driver's side of the trailer grows algae plus the front usually gets red dirt on it from the dirt roads around here. Now its as scrubbed clean as I can get it, even the roof.

On a rare day when 3 of us can go riding, we managed to get a few miles in inbetween rain clouds. Although it was very humid and we came in a bit sweaty, all ponies had a good stretch of the legs and Gator was a good trail buddy, as usual.

On this turkey day (which even the barn kitty gets to enjoy) we are thankful not only for our animals and farm life but the friends and family we meet and make along the way.

We went for a short trail ride this morning. Gator stayed close to his big red buddy Strider, they like walking together. Happy horses, happy puppy, happy humans.

Last week we built a third, much smaller track which involved shifting some gates around, now all horses can enjoy circle turnouts to promote movement and better senior fitness. Today was gate fixing day, dropped a new, wider gate into the big grass pasture fenceline so we can drive the tractor in without taking any fence apart and then fixed the wonky gate between the 2 big tracks that some horse keeps putting his mouth on pulling the fencepost out of wack. It is always very satisfying to dig deep post holes and not hit any tree roots and have a gate hang balanced and latch perfectly with no wobble.

What luck for P***y, his beloved queen gave him scritches tonight. They screamed at each other awhile because P***y pouts if Melody ignores him and Melody doesn't stand for that kind of behavior but then they stood doing scritchies for some time. Happy ponies.

When 2 besties go to the same stylist for a haircut. Melody (grey) and Angel (mini) got their first winter haircuts. They both have grown in quite fluffy coats already but in these FL temps, they are much more comfortable with a little off the sides.

We took full advantage of the day off for all three of us from our work-works to take our ponies into the forest for a ride. Not too hot, not too buggy, just right for a relaxing bank holiday trail ride.

08/20/2023

When you see dark clouds as you drive to the trail head but everyone is still game to ride. No thunder or lightning and it started dumping just as we went to mount up, lasted maybe 15 minutes. On the bright side, at least it was cool!
