This is completely random but now that I have my work station standing up with my writing desk to my back, Picollo and Zita find it completely necessary every morning to play, quite literally, at my ankles or ON my feet. When Picollo has had enough playing yet Zita still doesn’t realize it, he hides under the writing desk. Just too cute!
Spring Ducklings & Peeps
What else could someone who’s planning a massive arena project need but the time it takes to prep peeps and ducklings in a cage. I drove down to the local feed store to pick up some feed for the horses and came back with these! Ex mentioned wanting ducks but probably not in the middle of preparation for our biggest project on the farm this past year! LOL!
It was too sweet this little rooster falling asleep standing up!
They are still a bit nervous but quickly eating and drinking so definitely settling in.
This is my favorite. I’m hoping she’s a Peking and we’re calling her Dooney. The other one is maybe an Indian Runner and is named Burke. The peeps don’t/won’t have names.
Developing Summer Evening Paddocks
Coming out to the East Coast this whole turning out during the summer over night was very new to me but after my first hot and humid days of late spring I quickly grasp the necessity of nightly turnout with the days inside under a fan!
Last summer the horses were out in pastures in the evening just roaming around. I thought this summer it would be nice to setup a series of smaller paddocks already for dry lot that they could overnight in saving the larger pastures for a few hours of daily grazing. The result thus far is a couple 2 rail (like Anky’s!) paddocks with packed stone dust set a bit off the creek.
The dogs were very diligent about helping out!
They are getting closer to being complete and ready for the hot summer days and kinda hot nights.
Our Very Own Easter Bunny!
This little guy walked up the drive, under the gate and sat down near the tree and daffodils for a good half hour. I thought it was sweet for the Easter Bunny to stop by personally and visit us! Now that’s service! Happy Easter HorseGirlTV® fans!
Fun & Education With Geoff & Melissa From The Equine Practice
It was a morning of education and fun with Geoff and Melissa as they came out to shoot an interview with HorseGirlTV®. They were both terrific people and I learned a great deal about horsey dentistry. Not that Carrara isn’t always a complete rockstar but it was amazing/impressive to see little Melissa walk into her stall (her domain) and with no drugs, no tricks, “no drama” float her teeth. The little guy I was equally impressed with as I don’t know him amazingly well yet but again, he was awesome just standing there for her letting her float his teeth!
I’m definitely planning to put together a list of interested people for 6 months from now when we need Dr. Geoff to come back out and float the horses! It wasn’t like anything I’d ever seen before and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to meet them, interview Geoff and learn a little insight into what they do.
Capturing B Roll.
Working on Carrara. No drugs. No powertools. Just little Melissa, a hand tool and quite a bit of finesse/talent.
Post dental work. She seems so relaxed and when Melissa left the stall, she did a full body shake!
