Wednesday, November 13, 2024 – More Laundry, Paddock, Afternoon With Jo Horse Hunting

Hey Sweetie,
A good night sleep, and a busy day! I started another couple of loads of laundry, put up my electric fence into a good-sized paddock for the horses, though I had a bit of trouble getting the fence charger working, it still isn't right, but I've ordered a new battery for it, which I'm hoping will help, though it's not working right on electricity either. I know Flash won't go near it, but Apollo tends to test it, though he may not after his last experience with the fence. Pretty sure it bit him, because he was very wary of it last time he was in it! I put in extra posts as well, just for security. Spent some time ordering some stuff online that I've been needing, had a chat with Rick who came by and tried to help me with the fence charger to no avail, then finally met up with Jo at McDonald's in Williston for a quick lunch (four McNuggets and a Dulce de leche frappe, hmm-hmm!), then we spent most of the afternoon looking at an OTTB she's interested in. It's a nice mare, though she recently was kicked on one of her hind legs, but Jo's vet did a thorough PPE (pre-purchase exam) and overall thought she was sound. I'm not sure I would ever buy an injured horse, though Jo seems prepared to deal with it. Finally got back home just before the sun was setting, fed the horses, though I'm leaving them on the highline overnight, I want to be here when they're in the paddock, just in case someone gets mischievous, until I'm sure it will hold them. Ready to settle down for the evening! Good night, baby! Love you!
