We are about ready to wean our foals!!  Yes, it will be a nervous time for us all.  We have four to separate but with the new barn and paddocks, we should be in good shape.  Doing it now will give those mares time to put on a few extra pounds for winter.

I have lots of plans for the winter.  I have a gelding that I intend to work in the harness. He has been handled some but most of his life has been on open pasture.... should be interesting!  My pulling mares are both bred and by spring will be heavy with foal.  So, I need replacements!  I also need wood so I will be out there all winter long.  My health is coming along real nice, so that means by midwinter, I should be back in the swing of things.

I talked with a lady the other day and she was telling me that her and her friends plan a ride each week, all Fall long.  Boy, that sure sounded nice.  Not to let it happen by chance, but to make out a plan and then do it. I'm a great one to let all the other stuff get in the way.  Like hauling hay or building this last stretch of fence, etc, etc

So let's do it!  Plan a ride!

Stay Straight in the Saddle
