Another Friday Well Friday is here. Duane, who has been working 3rd shift, is going to be working with Shane(our blacksmith) today and tomorrow trimming horses feet. It will be great experience for him to do so under Shanes supervision. Trimming our horses over the winter and just doing our riding horses at home is fine and dandy for us but this will make him take it a step farther and a chance to hone his skill... that is if he can handle it after working all week. I believe the goal is to get good enought to be able to shoe a show foot on our geldings and be comfortable doing so. That sure would save a ton of money a year... like around $2,000 minimally. Hmmmm what can I buy with that saved cash ;-}Haying is in full swing and we were finally able to get a "good" bail of hay from our supplier today. We have been getting decient but corse bails for the last 2 months. Unfortunatly we didnt budget our hay requirements good enough and ran out of the stuff that we usually feed. We were able to get hay that at least met minimal needs but it sure wasnt somthing the horses were happy about. The good news is that we just got our 1st bail of the good stuff so we are back on track. The horses sure are happy about it to. By the way they swarmed the truck when it brought in the new bail you would think that they had been starved or eating straw.
