Yesterday, because there was heavy rain in the forecast, we moved the horses to a couple of corrals with full covers rather than partial ones. The result was we learned that Clio hadn’t been eating hardly any alfalfa. Apparently, she’s been just picking off a few leaves and leaving the rest of it for Apollo to eat. This is just what happened last spring when we got a few bad batches of hay, and she lost so much weight we have only just recently gotten her back to normal. Since we didn’t want to have to go through that again, I was compelled to ask Kelly to let me return most of the hay that I had bought from her, so I would have room in the truck to get something she WILL eat. Hated to do it, but didn’t really have a choice. Dallas and another helper came by with a flatbed and loaded out the hay, leaving me with two partial bales just to get through until I can pick up some more later in the week. Afterwards, we did some packing up in preparation for our departure tomorrow. Hubby had done a good job spacing out his repair and maintenance jobs during the week, so there wasn’t too much to do. Finished up some laundry and put some stuff away, otherwise an uneventful evening.
