Karin and the Skid Steer

Yesterday afternoon while doing laundry my phone was left upstairs. Dinner needed to be started a little after 3:00pm as shepherds stew was on the menu so down the stairs without the phone I went. Didn't remember it was up there until 3:45pm and when the phone was picked up there were 2 missed numbers. Karin was called back first, she was desperate, vaulting was to start and there were 7 round bales dropped off in the middle of the arena. The stew was put on low and within 15 minutes reached the farm. The bucket was on the skid steer but thank goodness we have the quick attach feature. Once the 7 bales were moved, Karin got a skid steer driving lesson. She can now move anything in the way. There were 4 fifty pound bags of grain in the back of the car from the earlier trip to TSC, they were moved and dumped into the feed bins, then it was back to Bridlewood by 5:05pm. Amazing what can be done when adrenalin is flowing. The shepherds stew was perfect, dinner was good then it was off to church. We had big storms last night and it is still raining this morning. I hope Mike moved Bunni into a stall just in case. The mares weren't tested last night and it would be bad news for a foal to be born in this deluge.
