Still Waiting

Still Waiting

I haven’t blogged because there isn’t very much happening. Ellen and I had a 3-day weekend and couldn’t cross the river a single time. she is still waiting for her maiden voyage of the year. Cole has been across a number of times on weekdays, and he is steady and well behaved—nothing to write about, there. Dante is getting a lot of hill practice and all has gone well except for a mini spook or two. Ellen’s confidence is soaring—and for good reason.

And I am still waiting for MerryLegs. It will be around a month before he gets here. He has had all his shots, but the shipping company wants 30 days for them to be out of his system so he doesn’t slough anything into their trailer that other horses can then pick up. I didn’t even know that could happen. When our vet was out to give our horses their shots, she said that it normal procedure.

Spring has arrived. My patio potted peas are sprouting, my daffodils are blooming, the horses are well into shedding, Thunder is getting plenty of sunshine to lay in and Maggie is getting a lot of long walks.
