Princess Peach wants a page boy.

He’s cool with roughing it for a few laps of running and a couple hours of grazing, but after that… run me a bubble bath, get room service on the phone and bring me some cucumbers for my eyes because this place is BENEATH ME. 
I just checked on them and yup, now there’s 4 sweaty horses just hanging by the gate. Ingrates. It’s going to rain soon, so at least they won’t be hot and sweaty anymore.

Sharing is caring, I guess?
Nevermind that there are individual tubs for everyone, spaced at safe-distance intervals and they all contain the same mix
Verifying that is indeed same stuff…

Better to share a feed tub than a stall….

All those pretty white legs!
I hope your helper helps more than mine. Mine just eats horse poop and gets zoomies.

Does the assistant’s ears give directions? “Peach, tub A. Bert, tub B in the corner, Ernie, tub C on your right…”

It actually stands up when he’s feeling serious! He’s really just a 65lb puppy, I think he’s 9 months old now? I had hopes that both ears would stand up full time, but he’s got one airplane most of the time unless he’s alerting to something.

I figured he was younger. Who knows? It might take root yet.

Can mud season please be over? Please? PLEASE? I’m begging.
It’s 91 degrees. It’s MUDDY. Positively swampy in some spots. It’s unpleasant. I want to put all the horses back in dry lots that are actually dry so that when I need or want to DO something with them, they are easily accessible.
Let’s not even begin to talk about the fact that the ground where I usually ride is too squishy to do more than a docile walk on my most platter-footed horse.
Or the fact that nobody wants to walk docilely right now.
Or the fact that TWICE now I have watched Ernie nearly do the splits because he’s gangly and trying to keep up with the others doing victory laps.
No. More. Mud.

Jingles for the end of mud!
Am I the only one who sees Peach (@Heinz_57 ) and Nosey (@2bayboys) doing a pair pace as “Team Lost a Sock?”

If my three horses had tried that, blood would have been spilled!

Sadly, I think we are geographically so far apart as to make that an impossibility
If the mud would dry out I could get started on getting Peach re-started. And so many other things!

I again would like it to rain over the pasture that we seeded. Everything else can have a sweet little dusting of rain. We have muddy spots but luckily not horrible because the property slopes. Around the gates… muddy. we need the rain to stop because every time it rains the bugs are getting worse 
on another note, congrats on the mud farm!

@MNick the mud isn’t bad overall, thankfully, but the dry lots are pretty sloppy. If I could just get like 2-3 days of no rain, things would be nice and dry again!
Snuck a picture of the 5 out in the grass before they saw me and headed to the gate… of course the three musketeers are all clustered together.
Bert is boredddd, haltering is old hat. I’m civilized now.

With that grass everyone is destined to be a bit chunky

“Chunkles”?
Ha!
I give you my Hackney Pony gelding.
Who, when a very horse-savvy friend first saw him, she asked “Is she in foal?”

He’s only 10, same as Elmo, but they are energy conservationists by nature (and very efficient eaters!). While I do have a decent amount of grass, the pictures are deceptive and a fair amount of that greenery is inedible weeds that need to be mowed again (or sprayed! if I had the equipment).
By accident, I now have:
A pair of 10yo’s
A pair of 5yo’s
and a pair of 2yo’s.
I mean, I guess I’m ensuring that I will always have an up-and-coming horse to ride? 
I told the big bay boy yesterday that he was starting to look pregnant, @2DogsFarm … we need to return to a proper exercise program! I can’t really feed him any less, he’s about as thrifty as they come.
I am pleased to report that it did NOT rain yesterday, and the mud is slightly less wet because of it. A few more days and hopefully it’ll be a distant memory!

I love “chunkles”. I am going to remember that.
