Nearing the end of August

We've recently had lots of rain and the pastures are exploding -- well, the big pastures are! We've had to sacrifice the pastures on the 'barn side' of the farm in order for the others to grow, grow, grow. But you should see how gorgeous the green, lush stems of forage look out in Pasture 5. The  gelding herd will be thrilled!
As of now the plan is to move Magic, Cas, Aidan, Irish, JW, and KC over to Pasture 5 on September 1st. This may change a little bit because of property issues, but I am doing all that I can to make sure the horses health and happiness are priority number one.
I foresee having all 6 geldings over there for at least two weeks, at which time I will decide whether or not to bring the stall boarders (Irish, JW, KC) over to the barn side. But we'll see how the grass holds up and all that jazz.
Dancer and Shellie will likely be going out to Pasture 4 on the other side and all pastures on the barn sides will be empty for growing!

Dr. Bess Darrow performed dentals on Satin, Shellie, Molly, and Aidan on August 24th. Her new trailer is pretty awesome! Everyone loaded up the ramp pretty easily (well, we didn't try Aidan since he has a history or trailer trauma, so we didn't want to traumatize him further). The sedative wore off very quickly and everyone was back to their normal self soon after the event. The rain made for a cool and breezy day - it was great! I am scheduling another dental day in the future for Cas, Magic, Irish, Dancer, and whoever else needs it.

Poor Molly was abused before Susan rescued her. Her tongue was sliced to cause pain and sensitivity in her mouth for "better" response to the bit. But she's a happy, spoiled girl now and for the past few days has been free roaming the barn side of the farm, teasing the boys and stealing hay!

September is just around the corner!
