Had another restless night, not getting as much sleep as I would like, but got busy as soon as I got up, setting up the screen room and putting up the electric fence so the horses could munch on the grass that was too long. Ellen had told me the person who usually mows the lawn was ill so I thought I’d help out by letting the horses cut the lawn in as large an area as possible, but later on, I was informed that portable corrals are not allowed, or at least a maximum of 12X12. Sigh… Two horses in an area that small will ruin that space in no time, but if that’s the kind of pasture management they want to do, so be it. (Bear in mind, the place was empty, except for the person telling me this, and she left shortly thereafter.) So tomorrow I’ll take it down again, or maybe make it 12X12 or so, just to satisfy their rules. Meanwhile, they did get a day of nice clover. Unfortunately, I noticed Flash was limping, the rope burn he got on his fetlock seems to be infected, so I treated it, hopefully it will improve by tomorrow. I ran out to the post office to ship out a book because of an order I received yesterday, and then to the store to get some grocery shopping done, getting back later than I hoped because of a delayed prescription transfer. Finally got back and got Hubby on his machine, did some more chores throughout the rest of the session, finally settling down for the evening much later than usual. I hope Flash is better tomorrow, I sure hate the idea of having to call a vet out here! I’ll just keep treating it and keep my fingers crossed for now!
