I'm riding twice a day!!! Well ok.....I AM riding twice a day, but it's because somewhere along the way Nebby shed a brain cell or two...... We fenced an entire hay field in at the cabin, aprox. 10 acres. No moving fences this year!! Yeah!

Take the horses over, they of course are thrilled with fresh grass and we have no problems, until dark.

They are pacing the fence and the bugs are bad, so I go home, get the fly spray, come back and they are GONE, not in the pasture and the fence is down. Did I mention it was DARK. Brent found them, they hadn't gone far, not that I thought they would. They were by the back door to the cabin.

Sooooo I got to ride Nebby home, ponying Leo, who by the way has never appreciated previous attempts to pony. (ponying being the act of leading one horse while you ride on another horse.) They did fine, even with headlights and all. Thankfully there was a pretty full moon and it was out.

So, Brent rewires the fence, and gets the electric box on it, I hadn't thought they'd test the fence for a few days, all that grass you know.... We take them back yesterday.... They spend the ENTIRE day in one spot eating clover heads. What a life.

Evening we go to check on them and they are at the fence again, we settle them back down with more fly spray and some grain. Walk away to check my bees, come back and they are at it again..... So I rode them home, and rode them back this morning. If I have to do this for the next three months I was hoping to keep them on that pasture I will be in great shape. Because then I ride a bike home!!

I am feeling my riding muscles as we trot/canter most of the way. My legs are screaming at me by the time I hit the half mile mark, when I ride the bike home. I have to drag myself down the driveway. It's a wonder I can walk when I get off the bike! Did I mention I could probably use the exercise?

I've gotten lucky so far and haven't had to ride over to the cabin, that's uphill and yes it's more a rise than a hill but it's UP, I'd probably have to stop half way or something!! Good thing the doc just gave me new, good meds this week.

And Mom said I should blog about the dogs, so there I blogged about the dogs.....missed it, well I just wrote a sentence about them, didn't I??!!! Probably not what she meant.......

I have to take pictures for you to really get a visual on the situation...... But I guess I could get a little more detailed here. One 135lb St. Bernard, one 115 Newfoundland, one 90 lb Labradoodle, one aprox. 50 lb Australian Collie, and one 10 lb terrier cross, is it becoming a little clearer now? Pictures soon, really I'll try hard.....

The Newfoundland and Collie are here for the weekend. A five day weekend I just realized, so ummmm they're here for a week..... that seems a little overwhelming now.....
