It's been pretty bad lately.. we've just gotten through the last hurricane to come through from Mexico.. hot weather and HUMID. Was raining most of the day. First effects of El Nino.. we usually have cold water off the cost to keep the hurricanes away, not this year. Last night and tonight was a kicker.. very warm.. and VERY humid.. it was 10 PM tonight as I was leaving and I was sweating up a storm!

BK :> Oh, jees! One of the reasons I don't do this "turn on the lungeline" thing. I always teach my horses to stop and stand and then I go up to them and "manually" turn them. I have this fear of just what happened to CJ, and the fear that I'm going to get hurt as well. BK :>Well when the lungeline ran out.. it whipped the little BK :>metal clip around and smacked her in the joint just about BK :>the fetlock. Superficial cut.. but in a bad place.. she's BK :>got her left rear wrapped in a leg wrap with furicine (per BK :>the vets instructions). Have to leave it like that and BK :>change it every day till it granulates over. :/ Nasty! Hope she's on the mend.

Got the name of a woman (experienced rider) who's looking to find a horse to exercise...gonna call her this weekend and see if she and Fid are a match. BK :>Not a bad idea.. if you can find someone like the gal BK :>that's training that Palomino baby. If I had the money, she'd be here in a flash!

My two are fuzzing up for the winter. Doing a demo for my kids' parents this weekend...Shiloh is going to get braided for the first time. I'll try to get some good pix. Fiddle's rubbed the top of her tail pretty bad, so don't know if I'll bother taking any of her (g)!
