Showered, Steamed and Dried

How the horses have been spending their time
 That is how I would describe the month of June. We have dealt with rain, humidity and hot temperatures. All have caused a decrease in work, but everyone worked at least once. May was bad too but that was do to Roscoe trip prep. Can we go back to April?

Here's hoping July is somewhat better. Of course I say that after receiving a text from Lisa saying Roscoe's turnout got cut short by storms. We normally get their weather a day or so later, sooo... no comment. On the positive side, she said so far so good. Which means the last two mares still have not come back into heat. I asked if Roscoe was turning into a butterball since he has had a couple weeks of no breeding, but a third more food. It seems that instead of growing wider, he has gotten taller. My baby is growing up. His sire is about 15h and Rosemary is about 14h and I would be happy with him ending up right in the middle.
Day 10 of work is tomorrow and then I finally get a couple days off before working the holiday.

  1. How tall is he now? I think Emi's growing again.

    1. Roscoe is a shrimp compared to Emi, he measured 13.3 before he left. I don't know what he is now, but he is going to be taped when he gets home. He is deceptive with those long legs and big personality.
