Weekend Goals

I've been silent lately - well, not really, but my fingers haven't been talking much! It's been hectic around here, and I just haven't had much horse time. Other than the basics like getting grain dropped off and trying to track down the farrier (note to self: must call him AGAIN!!!), I've been reduced to patting noses and counting legs. Nice, but not terribly satisfying, that's for sure. :(

They've sure gotten a lot furrier in the past week. (New fuzzy pictures soon, promise!) We had rain Saturday and Sunday - a nice warm fall rain, which brought the grass back just a bit. They look good.

Since it doesn't look like I'll have much time the remainder of the weekdays, either, here are my weekend goals:

• Fencing
• we took the remains of the alley fence down earlier this summer - now it needs to be replaced.
• divide the hill pasture back into two pieces - that fence the deer took out last winter, and it needs to get put up, with new gates
• Riding
• I will not get sidetracked. I will actually take the saddles out of the car and ride Sunny!
• If it's nice I'd love to actually get a short trail ride in with T
• Tack cleaning
• Fall round of saddle soap for all the tack, even the stuff I haven't been using

That's enough to start. I suspect the fencing will, as always, turn into a bigger job than it's supposed to be.
