Sunburned horses! Oh my

Monday July 13, 2009 Went out early to the Lucky J Stables after a wonderful breakfast at McDonalds in Sturgeon Bay. At 9am the Farrier was going to be there & I was on the schedule for him to do Bella's feet. She was pretty good. He used the foot proper up thingy on her front & she wasn't use to that but with a little patience she did well. Her feet look so much better. Didn't do the other horses feet, they can wait until we see Glen back home.

After her session with the Farrier, we took Bella out to wash her off. I wanted to see how much of her was sun burn & how much was dirt & sunscreen. Unfortunately most of it was sunburn. Bella was good, Nina put her in the stocks to wash her. Bella just walked into the stocks which was good because she was a little nervous being without her pasture buddies & trying to wash her while she was walking all around would have been a nighmare! ha

After washing Bella, Nina & I took her into her stall, got some fresh hay for her in a hay net. Nina went out to bring in Blondie & we prepared her stall as well with hay & water. They seemed quite & content, thank heavens!


Nina decided to ride Sonny around so she went to get him which set Bacardi to running the fences so we decided to bring him in while Nina was riding Sonny. After getting Bacardi settled Nina had a nice ride on Sonny. Took him down the Bridle path around the property. Sonny seemed to enjoy himself what a good boy!

After spending all morning at the horses which was really nice, we headed back to Cottage Row (CR). Once back to CR we found LP & set up another game of Monopoly on the porch. The dogs got to run around (Cleo is being so good) while we played. The day was wonderfully cool & perfect! The game went on for some time. LP & I kicking Nina out of the game early on, we had to continue our game after dinner. After an most unfortunate drawing of the tax on hotels & houses (of which I had many) I threw in the towel. LP emerging as the victor in that game. However there will be a rematch!
