Saturday, April 12, 2025 – Lots of Washing and Chi Day

Hiya Darlin',
Had an excellent night sleep, as my knee felt better during the night, and actually pretty good this morning when I got up, so you know what that means. I had a list of things I wanted to do, so right after breakfast, I got busy. I hooked up the small trailer and moved it over in front of the big trailer, and gave it a wash (except the roof). Then I got out the small ladder and fixed the clamps on one side of the screen room which had come off during the wind the other day, and also to put some sealant on an opening in the bedroom window. It's a weird design, I think they're supposed to be drain holes (or maybe vents) but they're on both the top and bottom, and they let in the rain. I had put duct tape on them previously, but those had come off, so I just put some silicon sealant on instead. I took a quick break, then got busy washing the horses. I started with Apollo, first rasping his hooves a bit to improve on what we did yesterday, then gave him a good bath, scraping a lot of his winter coat off. Looking pretty good now! Did the same with Flash. I tied them to the trailer because I didn't want them rolling, left them with a bag of hay while I changed, then we headed off to Chi where they both got a nice chiropractic adjustment. Apollo was totally calm, but it took a few minutes for Flash to settle down, but then he was great. It's amazing that these folks look for cues from the horse when they're doing an adjustment. One guy did one adjustment, and Flash, apparently in direct response, started yawning, which was exactly what he was looking for! Amazing! Got back home, put them away, put the trailer back, then settled down for the evening. Miraculously, my knee didn't feel too bad, even after all of that! I didn't actually do that much walking, so I'm thinking that's the reason. Anyway, time for tea and bed! Good night, babe! Love you!
