I don’t often lose track of the days, but I do lose track of the hours unless I have to be somewhere. Unwanted naps are generally the fault of that….
The lady whose Arabian is on lease to me as a companion to my elderly horse, has lost the lease where she boards her other two. Both she and the elderly gentleman who lives there with his six horses were given less than a month to get out — equipment and all
It’s a 63 acre farm with frontage on two roads, and housing developments going up on either side of it. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out why they have to move but it’s dirty low down they were both told two weeks ago, they have to be gone in under a month

I am going to lease her a 9-1/2 acre tract of my land so she has somewhere to put her two horses that is safe. It is in woven wire fencing, but no water and no shelter, unless the trees count for something.
For now, I have the old pathway mowed out that runs along that fence line and we will run a couple hundred feet of water hose from my barn spigot down to where their water tubs will be.
She can rent a portable shed for shelter from a couple of different nearby businesses. I don’t have room in my barn, I’m not able to do all that work anymore, it would cost her more than renting a shed will cost for full care, and most importantly I don’t want my 30-ish fella pushed around and kept out of the barn by two younger horses and one snippy donkey. He was here first, he comes first, and he cherishes his big fan.
We also discussed the possibility of her buying that parcel, if she can afford it; her two will have a lot more pasture than they have now, just no creek water.
It is my brother’s intent to try and make the ten hour drive down here in October to do all the bushhogging since I can’t do that anymore either <insert a LOT of swear words over me no longer being able to bushhog>


. He is such great “kid”

My neighbor bushhogs if I ask him but his batwings, even though much faster, can’t cut as short as my Bushog that will adjust closer to the ground. My brother alleges riding around in the open fields is therapeutic and gives him time to think. My husband used to say the same thing
