Transport Company

The transport company taking Meike into Canada was held up and didn't make it here until 10:30am. Sarah told me they were VERY impressed with how well behaved Meike was and couldn't get over how tall she is. They asked Sarah, are you sure she is only 4 months old? I wish I could have been here to see her off.
Mike has moved some of the horses into the first pen, some he is leaving in the middle and some he will move into the 4th pen. He is just uncomfortable leaving them as a herd. The last time he left a gate open ALL of the horses were out and he doesn't want that to happen again. Also he feels it is easier to make sure they are all getting enough to eat if they don't have to compete with 20 + horses. Diane worked on our books and called with the information that we spent $15,000.00 this year on hay. We were not able to use the Middle Grove farm as much with the weather so rainy this summer, now we know what that ground saves us. At least $4000.00 as last year's hay bill was $11,000.00. One bill that went down was our vet bill. This year only Lily went to the University of Illinois, no foals, no mares, THANK YOU GOD!
Vet bills we can not even budget for, they just happen and a bad hospital stay shoots our budget.
