Sunday, May 18th... The 4 new geldings from race tracks came off the van yesterday and immediately began sweating. It was 243 degrees. Each gelding goes into an individual round pen, and they roll and scream and then roll some more. In seconds all 4 were filthy. I was going to give baths so photos could be snapped, but the day got away. On the morning journal tomorrow I will show you the new race horses.
There is Sands Of Time, he is stunning, and 9 years old. There is Zero Quadro, a little gray gelding, and I am willing to bet he was born in 04. Hence the name Zero Quadro. There is a liver chestnut named Fit To March. He is a wee bit wired. And a hunk with the name of Buddies Mandate, and already Buddy is in love with Gidget, the crippled mare who runs lose in our mare motel area.
From a feed lot in Wilton came a thoroughbred mare who we now call Tara. The other day there were 3 e-mails in a row written by girls named Tara. You could do a term paper on What Are The Odds? There is Tara in Vacaville. Tara in Marin. Tara in Reno. All 3 e-mails came within 2 hours of each other. Which is why the next filly or mare from a feed lot was going to be named Tara. We are clever that way...
Below I am showing you pictures from past winters. Good times. It was miserable yesterday. I watched as flies packed their tiny little suitcases and moved on to Portland. The heat continues today, and then thankfully we get a cool down.
Chores must be completed before the day grows hot. Poop on top of poop. Legs to unwrap. 4 horses on daily bute. 5 horses on special supplements. Turn outs for play time. Water buckets to scrub. Pictures of 5 new horses from yesterday. Round pens to clean. Stalls to clean. All of this before noon, and good luck with that. Ice cold orange juice is from Simply Orange, and stale glazed doughnuts were made by Entenmanns. Enjoy your TNT Law And Order marathon Sunday, and be sure to hug your horses.
