Lime & Foals

I left the walk after just one round to get to TEMCO in time to get the mail to the Berean office by 9:00 am. To read about our morning there click HERE.  We really need rain. The last few weeks we haven't had more than a few sprinkles. This makes it easy to clean and scrape paddocks. Mark worked this afternoon with the skid steer cleaning 3 paddocks and spreading lime on those three. I'm usually thrilled to get this job done but today as soon as the mares and foals were let back into the middle paddock I noticed the foals checking out this funny white stuff. They can die if they eat much of it so the horses were locked out of that paddock. They were temporarily moved in with Bunni and Missy and that paddock opened up to the pond pasture. They can't stay long there, too many mares for only that 1 shelter. I'll probably need to move them to Middle Grove for a couple weeks. If we get rain they can be let back in as the lime hardens quickly. This evening Diane, Ruth and I made our way over to mom's. We played a short game then visited until dark. Mike worked at Middle Grove tonight and made sure to check on Sheena and her filly as I didn't see them yesterday.
