After a “day off” yesterday, Bart and I skipped schooling this week in favor of a ride here at home with Jane and Derry. It was cool and very autumnal, but terribly dry. The forecast is for hot weather ahead this week, unfortunately. Today, though, Bart was quite fresh, and Derry jumped well.
It was a beautiful morning for a ride, and we did see a Monarch butterfly, which makes for a good day. Harry was on a mission, so could not join us, though his horse had very fancy feet, fixed by Fred yesterday.
It was a great relief to watch Stone walk out to the pasture yesterday in comfort. This dry weather is hard on the horses’ feet. Of course, wet weather is hard on horses’ feet, too!
Harry came out to the barn to help me with chores yesterday, and we had a good laugh, inspired by some of Eddy’s antics, which help to keep us sane in these disturbing times.
Today, September 9th, is my brother John’s birthday. Here is the way I picture him, though he is somewhat older now, at 68…
Harlan was here this morning to empty the dumpster, and Eddy enjoyed visiting with him. Tom Morris likes the ramp to the dumpster as a place to nap.
Eddy and Weedy spent the day at home, as Harry and I were out and about, and the temperatures are warming this week. I went to the show to pick up my number and enter a class for tomorrow. I am pretty excited to be showing at the St. Louis National Charity Horse Show (SLNCHS) again!
Tom Morris and Marmalade await their evening dinner…
Harry came out to help with barn chores this evening, and alerted me to a spectacular sky.
Be safe, be well, be grateful for luck and wonder. Slava Ukraini! Peace…
