The goal at the barn today was wash and clip Delight and just brush Ariel and Spring. So of course Delight was a good girl for her bath and then she got to have a snack while she dried off. I was shocked at how well she stood to be clipped I was excepting her to move a lot because of the sores on her legs but she was perfect, actually she behaved like she was enjoying it! I love that horse so much! Luckily Delight wasn't limping as much today so I've decided that instead of spending upwards of 300$ on x-rays and everything else that I'll go my uncles suggested route and try a D bar shoe and see if that will give her the support she needs while the thrush heals and if after awhile the limp continues or worsens then we'll reconsider the x-rays.I couldn't believe the amount of hair that Ariel shed out today, it was insane she has to big spots on either side that are short short, looks ridiculous. I would clip her completely but it's still too early for that. It just hit me today that I'm responsible for the training of three horses, two of which I own, How lucky am I :)
So it was such a nice day today that when I got home we had a quick lunch and took the kids to the park! It was so much fun. Kaleb climbed the rock wall all by himself for the very first time! I was of course nerves and wanted to baby him a bit but Neill wouldn't let me. I suppose he's right I can't do everything for him. But it's hard for me to let go. I just can't believe how fast he's growing up. Oh well I don't care how big or old he gets he will always be my poohie! Kenzie was playing on the slid trying to figure out how to get off the slid without falling on her face it was adorable, she would scoot to the edge then very slowly put her foot on the ground, she's still so tiny! She thought being able to crawl around through the playground was pretty awesome she looked so proud of herself. I can't wait to see her running around chasing her brother, its going to look so funny this tiny little girl chasing this huge hulk of a boy. Poor Neill's hernia is really starting to bother him, its actually starting to frustrate him too because he can't lift the Kaleb and if he carries kenzie for to long he gets sore too. I mean just throwing the tug rope for Harley aggravated it. I'm hoping we hear something soon.
Kenzie is doing great on the whole going to bed by herself , Tonight was day 3 and it took 5 minutes, I went in once and that was it for over an hour and then I'm not sure what happened but So far I've only had to go back in a few times and she seems to be sleeping again now. I'm happy with how its going. It really could be going much worse. I've heard some pretty bad horror stories and most are just from my mom telling me how bad I was!
Well the apartment is clean, dishes are done, laundry is on the go and blog post done, Now its time to go take it easy on the couch folding clothes!
Till Next Time!!!
