Hitching Post

Mike, Diane, Karin, and Jackie spent Friday night in the cottage at Middle Grove. Mike emailed this picture of what they got accomplished on Saturday. They now have an 8 horse hitching post up.

There is no electricity within a mile of Middle Grove. If one enjoys star watching, ask to stay there on a clear night. With the cottage up and usable Mike and Diane will be hosting trail rides there this summer. Karin is going to be busy. Karin is the first called when a group is coming and usually the first words are: "will you come help!" What is bad about this entire situation is we won't want to be hauling horses between the 2 farms, we may need 2 strings of riding horses, one for here and one for there. That may just be an excuse to keep more of our riding horses. Mike would be thrilled to have 2 starting line-ups. Mark just shuddered.
The executive branch of Horsemeister during our business meeting came up with a great idea for the website, as Horsemeister now has 3 fantastic trainers we need a training page exhibiting each of these wonderful trainers strengths. I'd better start saving pictures and videos.
I went out early this morning for the walk to check all the horses over and was very pleasantly surprised. Someone was able to clean out Raven's shelter and gave him a new bale. He now doesn't have to duck his head to enter. Lily is just starting to bag up a bit, not enough to worry that she is close to delivery but enough to start preparing her body for the pending delivery. She is not technically due until April 19th but has a history of delivering early. Airiah was standing off by herself this morning but came up to the gate when she saw me. She is looking big but is not due until the end of May. This will be her first. Eliza will be going to the fair with us instead of Ella. All coggins of the horses going need to be taken in today and copied.
