What Did You Do In The Garden?

Do you ride your horses often?

Not during the winters it’s to cold and slippery since I don’t shoe them during winters for a number of reasons. . During summers sometimes they are old 27 years to 32 years just keep hoves clipped . We do soft ground work to keep in shape. Actually we are all old…

Also pulled up cardboard on garden paths . Mostly buzy using the leaf blower to remove yellow pollen that’s is covering everything that doesn’t move. It’s that time of year.

I timed the horses eating and rotated pastures while feeding fresh green grass , as I always worry about my horses foundering. The vet recommended special feed made for horses mixed in with beet grain, has a lot less sugar, and also to soak the grass hay in water a few minutes before feeding. Less the sugar the better.

My Inner Sanctum, fenced in area in front of my barn, isn't very large AND my horses have spent several weeks nibbling the edges of it AND the north pasture. I let them have it for 4 hrs this afternoon, when the sugars are lower. No sense gambling with grass founder, which is still Founder. My Vet has to make trips out to give shots to counteract this every Spring, but Not with mine.

Leaf blower is buzzy today… Spent quite awhile rounding up and blowing out the pink snow flakes from the cherry blossom blooms. Not to mention the Pollen Palooza ,,, yellow pollen covers everything that doesn’t move. The combination is a huge dust bowl scattering of yellow and pink. Aaashewww.
