Messy Barn!

The barn has been a disaster lately and we're sorry!
John's mother was diagnosed last week with ovarian cancer. After the diagnosis everything went super fast. She saw cardiologists and anesthesiologists in preparation for surgery to remove the huge mass. She went in for surgery on Tuesday and has been recovering at Shands. Needless to say, John and I have been spending quite a bit of time at the hospital, not to mention the emotional stress involved. So we've been slacking on barn duties.

But don't worry! Your horses' stalls are getting cleaned as usual and everyone's needs are being met. We just haven't had that extra time to tidy up the barn and property like usual.
A round bale exploded at one end of the barn, nearly blocking the entrance. We lost the keys to our truck last week - the key chain also contained the key to the storage barn where our new mini fridge is waiting. We were able to purchase a new key (nope, we didn't have a back-up truck key!) from the dealer. After a heavy rain the keys finally did show up in a pasture! Thankfully we can now get the mini fridge out of storage and into the feed room so your carrots don't mold!

Everything should be back to normal soon and you will start to see swept concrete and raked barn aisles.

I am scheduling a "Work Day" for THIS Sunday, February 7th, from 10am-6pm. We will have to limit it to 3 hours per person (unless you are already doing board exchange, then you can do as much as you need). If you can't make it, don't worry. I will schedule another day in February.

See you at the barn!
