gottawonderA good riding lesson on River. More honing of the same things.
Talking to another rider at the barn for awhile. She adopted two dogs that were big, older dogs whose owner had died, and a kennel was trying to re-home them for the family of the deceased. I had shared this post on Facebook, and she saw it and decided to adopt them. It's nice that someone did this, that's the whole point of sharing the posts for various rescue groups (as well as to hopefully reinforce the message of spay/neuter).
Coming home and just reading for a while.
Finally dragging myself outside and planted more in the garden.
That the ponies and goats are getting fairly well trained to come back to their smaller pen when I call them. They have a bigger pasture with lots of grass in it, but I can't leave the ponies out in it very long because of the risk of founder. Most days they get to spend an hour or two out on the grass, and I call them back in. They've been doing pretty well with coming in without a lot of herding. Same with the other mare who can only be on grass for a short time (with a grazing muzzle).
That my other mare is putting on a bit of weight. The hay this winter wasn't enough to keep her at a good weight, and if she is going another winter, I'm going to have to feed her something extra.
A pretty good phone conversation with Mom. Yesterday she had a stomach ache and was really not interested in talking. Today she seemed okay, and we had a good talk. She doesn't seem to recall much anymore for short term memory, such as the fact that I called her yesterday and that she had a stomach ache.
