Come On Spring!

Not much to say for an update, but one nonetheless!

Went out and wormed big boy yesterday. I haven't seen him in a week or so! My last two Saturdays have been filled up. Or raining. So sick of this rain, this is the wettest winter we have had in forever! I can't wait for warm weather that is here to stay. We have still had a pretty mild winter though. Can't complain too much! I will probably get to try out Cisco's new blanket tomorrow though. Supposed to be raining all day and lows in the 30's, ick. I'm sure he will appreciate it!

But! Supposed to be sunny and warm by Thursday! Saturday they are predicting 70! Woot!! Def gotta grab a ride! I'm so excited to use our new trailer too, soon maybe!

Anyway back to yesterday. Rusty is in the close pasture by the house by himself, so we decided to just drive around to the back side of the big pasture to find Cisco. Good thing we did too because they were pretty close to the back gate. I came out of the trees from the lane and called for him and he started right over, trailing his two buddies. So cute. Of course my husband had to make a wisecrack about the way he moves as he came lumbering over in a rack/pace thing. -_- He takes great pleasure in teasing me about him.

So he thought the wormer box was kind of scary when I shook it but he just gave it the hairy eyeball, lol. I threw his halter on and gave him some hugs/kisses and some cookies. Which of course had to be shared with the other two moochers. I was so happy to see them all getting along so well. Even with the cookies no one was running anybody off or laying ears back. They seem to be a good group. When we left to go back to the car they all followed along behind us and were like wait, no more cookies?? lol

Cisco Nohead lol

So got him wormed with no trouble and checked him over for cuts, bumps etc. All looked good! He is getting a little thinner then I want, need to tell them to up the hay. Hopefully the grass will come in good this year. Need to find some more hay actually, really low. I found some for $3.50 in our little local paper, so we will probably go get it sometime this week.

In case your wondering, Rusty is up top by himself because he has had a few people ride him lately to buy possibly. All turned out to be no's. The last lady that came was a disaster. She was 5 foot nothing, pretty round, couldn't get her foot in the stirrup. Her husband comes over to boost her and she kicks him in the rump as she tries to swing her leg over. Which of course causes him to scoot off, lol. Then he spooked sometime later and dumped her. Yeah, she didn't get back on after that, eep. Suppose to be a couple other guys coming to look at him this week. Feel sorry for the guy. He just needs someone to take time with him and love him and his goofiness/problems.

Not much else to report! I have thought about doing a post on last Saturday; I worked with Tuff for the first time in forever. But I'm really too depressed to say much other then it was a nightmare. I was about in tears as I took him back to his pasture. I think I had higher expectations then I probably should have, yes, but he also was just awful. To think of all the time/training I put in on him over the years and then think of how its seems to be all wasted? Ugh. I might post on Daisy's blog later about it...

Have a great week everyone!
