I'm Pooped

Today was another full day.

Betty worked again this morning with her new trainer, Miriam. Miriam is classically trained in dressage and is an excellent rider. She's also a very good trainer of horses and people -- she has a very positive way about her and that works well with Betty. She's a good learner. Betty's learning some of the finer points about riding and so am I as I listen and watch what they're doing. Both of us and Morgunn and Sugar will benefit from all this.

Then the panels and gate for our new round pen were delivered around noon and I helped the driver off load the panels from his flat bed truck and bring them in to the horses lot. We placed some of them in the place for the temporary pen for Gletta. The others are stored against the outside wall of the stable.

After lunch, Betty and I put up the 5 panels (12' each) and gate for Gletta's pen. It actually turned out to be easier than I thought it would be. It turned out pretty nice. She has the cover for shade and a space that's 24' wide and 40' long so she has plenty of space to move about. This will give her plenty of room and allow Morgunn and Sugar to maintain their normal routine that includes their stalls where they eat and where they can get some shade when it's warm. The stalls also have fans which helps as well.

The only thing I had to buy, besides the round pen, was a new salt block and holder for Morgunn and Sugar so everyone has access to a salt block. I went down to Village Mercantile to get those items this afternoon.

Then I came home to take a well-needed shower. Have a great night all.
