Exhaustion

Patrick is home. We are working off of a schedule and I am not so good at it. I am learning though.

Yesterday was a long day with stress and meetings. I did not sleep much last night and this morning we were back up and out the door about 7:30.

We did a run to the landfill. Then I dropped Pat and the trash cans off at home. I went to the feed store (not one of the closest two, their hay is awful right now). 24 bales of hay and seeing someone I hoped to never see again, then back home. Farrier here for hoof trimmings. Faith was awful! I do NOT know what got into her. Then offload 24 bales of said hay. Do a few chores and off again to head to town for a lunch date and a trip to the hardware store for supplies to put in a water line out back, chicken coop supplies, as well as some stuff to repair the wall and floor of the RV. Then back home, do chores, work with horses, deal with a hyper 3 legged dog and then my sister too. It is always interesting. Then time to make dinner, eat and enjoy a small bit of time with the family that was here & clean up. Then working on next weeks schedule, which again, is not an easy thing for me. The phone calls and here I am at 9pm finally getting some computer time.

The computer time will increase this coming week, as I am @ home Mon, Tues, Thurs & Friday. YAY!!!!!

I hope all y’all are staying safe and warm (although we are going to be near 80′f for the the next week).

Blessings,
Mama

Moose has Hoof Abscesses

Home Care
To promote the abscess to drain and resolve, warm water foot soaks and the use of drawing salves, such as ichthamol or poultice can be used. The foot can be soaked for 15-20 minutes once to twice daily in warm water, Epsom salts, and betadine solution. Soaking should continue until the lameness and the drainage resolve and the wound closes.

In between foot soaks, the foot with a sole wound should be kept bandaged or placed into a protective boot to protect the sole and to keep the wound from becoming further contaminated.

Faiths friend…aka…New Horse

 
The best name I have been able to come up with for my new horse is Falcor. I am trying to find something that goes well with Faith. They will be partners for life and I will have to use his name for the rest of his days, so I want it to be a handsome name. As he is a very handsome boy!

I will have pictures in the morning.
He is a beautiful palomino rescued premarin colt. He’s almost a year old and is beautiful.

Sweet Dreams,
Blessings,
Mama
