Bills Bills Bills... Just yesterday I received the bill for the normal spring horse requirements. It was the big one for the year. 7 horses needed coggins, two needed health papers & fecals done for sending to the Saginaw Childrens Zoo and I ordered all the vaccinations necessary for getting everyone up to date on those. Out of the 8 horses here, 4 of them will be requiring boosters because they are new to us since the first of the year. At least I'm done with buying necessary things for them for the year. Well almost done, I know I'll need to get some additional scotch bottom show shoes for some of the new horses but last years show shoes will fit the ones that we had them on so at least thats a little bit of savings.The fellas are home this weekend (hubby and step-son). They work as movers and are gone during the week 1/2 of the time and sometimes are gone on weekends too. With them home we got a good bit of spring yard work done and got to work with the very green broke 3 yr olds. One of our 4 yr olds didnt see any real work last year because she was growing so fast and just seemed to be unquardented so we gave her the year off to grow up. I'm glad we did because she grew 3 inches over the last year as a 3 yr old and is now just shy of 18 hands. She is still on the narrow side and looks to have more growing to do so it will be interesting to see how big she ends up. She is pretty green as well and needs some hours between the shafts to get with the program. Pearl is great to ride but for some reason is really worried about driving. I think time working her will get her going right.
