Hi Mike,
Naturally, I loved your post. I'd like to know where you found it [unless
you made it up] as I'd like to use it in my book. [Midlife Madness -
Setting up Horsekeeping] I might be able to get permission to use it
[credited, of course] from the horses who said it or from the human who sent
it in. Thanks for the chuckle!
I assume you're all recovered - congratulations. A quick update on our
herd - Right now we're entertaining dueling offers on our house, so we ought
to be moving soon to Ellensburg, smack dab in the middle of WA state. Hot,
cold, windy, lots of riding room and horse folks. The property we're
negotiating on has a brand new house [with air conditioning] and barn, and
some fencing. On the fencing, it was mostly the thought that counted, I
guess, as our equines would get a good laugh out of it. Some work to be
done there.
New pole barn is sided with cedar, and features a 3/4 bath and a nice big
lounge-office-tack room. The 4 stalls have turnouts and Dutch doors inside
and out. The catch is that the inner doors open into the stalls, so will
have to be re-hinged. The owner/builder has a champion cutting horse from
Haidas lines, but hasn't built stalls before. The real draw, though, is the
arena from heaven which we will be able to use. Not covered, but huge!
Round pen coming up next.
Will keep everyone posted, as our email address and home address with
change.
A note to Mary Thurman - those folks racing in Fairbanks may be crazy, but
what about those of us who choose to live in the great Northwet? The mud
has been a great help in showing our house...
Cheers,
Peg Knutsen, from Knutsen Fjord Farms, where we have been feeling the May
baby move, especially after mom has a nice long drink of water.
