Summer 2009

Our first cutting has been baled and the grass is growing for the second cutting! We got 205 bales of hay, and the horses are in better shape than ever. Their frogs keep growing stronger, I need to take some pictures!
During baling we just remove the inside fence, which makes it really easy for the tractor. Once we were done, I put back the fence in about an hour, and made some changes where needed. Some areas are wider, others more narrow. There is some grass on the track, and there is a mulberry tree too, they love mulberries! The horses keep going around to find the best spots to graze. They also finish their hay each day.
I made myself a little drag from some fencing leftovers and I can drag the track to keep it nice and even.
I am now using the new Easyboot Gloves, and Dyna really likes them. They truly fit like a glove, and after trying a few times, it is now super easy to put them on. She can walk, trot and canter and run like the wind with them! Mud, water, etc doesn't bother the Glove, they don't come off!
I have used them on several trailrides on different terrains and also during a Parelli clinic. I put them on in the morning, and take them off when we are done for the day. Really easy!
The other thing I have been using for some years now are the fly predators. I didn't realize how well they work until we traveled somewhere and my horses were covered in flies. They needed flymasks and flyspray each day. At home, with the fly predators, I only put fly masks on during hot days, and fly spray is rarely needed!
Needless to say I am super happy with those little fly predators!
I will post new pictures soon....
