Weather, Warm. 72F for the high.
Bugs, TERRIBLE! O_O
So today rather known as Hay day!, because we found someone else, but charges a quarter more, and smaller bales, but at least its good hay! So 4 loads today (100 bales or so) we did, fills almost the rest of the barn, and thank goodness it didn't threat rain! So after all that was done, I went to go spend some UT with the horses. I filled their water bucket, and before the hay I took apart the broken hackamore, and hopefully the longer end of it could be made into a lead, and since the halter is bigger because it was made for a hackamore, I tried it out on the drafts to see if it would fit them. I tried Glory first because her head is the biggest. It BARELY fit her. about an inch or two to tie the knot, but I can make it work! :-D It fit Molly better, but at least I know that I can use that halter now instead of the metal hardware one that has only been fitting them! :-D So then after the hay and all, Molly was facing rear towards me, she was resting/sleeping, so I came up from behind her, not sneaking, and I decided to rest too. So put my elbow on her hip, and rested there. She was surprised, but but more weight into leaning on me, then she walked off. So I went up to her back, and put my arm around her, and she seemed to like that better, and I rubbed her fetlocks with my shoes because the flies were bugging her down there. So then I fussed around with her hooves, picking them up, then putting them down, she didn't seem to comfortable with it, and bent her head around towards me, or tried kicking her way loose of my grip, but when I rubbed her she settled down. then I went over to try that on Glory who was eating hay in the stall. She was moody for sure. I would rub, then squeeze, and she would come around with her head, and I'd her her mouth open for a bite, so I got out of the way, but she moved or trotted off whenever I tried, so I guess I need to work on that some more, but with the halter and lead on. So then I hung out with them, rubbed Jessie, and she was in a really good mood. She would prick her ears whenever she saw me! :-D So then I did chores, said goodnight, then went in.
Overall it was a Nice day. :-D
