The sun came up....thats for darn sure!


Started the day before daylight today....had a lot going on and knew there was no way to get it done if I waited for the sun.

Two legged ones (the boys) were up at 6:15....Dilon took care of getting the chickens out of the trailer and into the yard. Tyler helped me switch horses around and got La Turka and Bailey into the large stall as La Turka had a date with the beautiful Shakespeare.....

Oh...then the pouring rain moved in...that was so fun being soaked once again.

Ran Dilon to school at 7:15, had sedated Bailey at 7:05 hoping it would take full effect by the time I left with her Mama at 7:30. She seemed good and sleepy at 7:35 so we loaded up La Turka...and off I went. Tyler stayed to finish up some chores.

Was back by 8:50 and Tyler was all upset. Bailey had freaked out and somehow got her leg in between the wall and the stall door. After Tyler showed me where her leg was stuck...I just don't know how he EVER got it out without Angels helping him. The space was less then 1/2 inch wide. By the grace of God, Bailey didn't break her leg. However she has a nasty wound several inches long and open to the bone all the way up the front of her cannon bone.

Now on some pain meds and back with her Mama...life's OK....for her anyway.

Forgot the part that when the vet came at 1...she checked Shades who was not "supposed" to be ready to breed until tomorrow...needed to go RIGHT NOW! So....hook up the six horse one more time by myself....and off to get Shades bred to Chapel. (Forgot about Dilon....but Kathy didn't....picked him up on time and even got him an after school snack!) AHHHHHH....teamwork!

Ya....speed drama not over yet!

YIKS! Tyler at 3:20....almost ran out of diesel....then off to get Shippie's meds and now here I sit for a moment...to take a breath, get the blog updated...and let the boys settle before we go into the heat to feed the herd.

Keep your fingers crossed....Katy and Cent get preg checked on Saturday...and Starlite gets checked cause she is supposed to go to Unbridled Time.....

Tomorrow should be a bit quieter.... at least I may have time to actually remember if I had something to eat today....
