Farrier Day!

Well I did post the pictures backwards. Jasmine was first done, followed by Sundown, Arizona, Josie, Oriana, Heidi and last but not least Phoenix. Ladies first!

~Though Phoenix is the easiest to walk away from while he's getting done~

His feeties look so good now! Top image is from today, the bottom image is from 6-11-2009 when my blacksmith from New York first did them.

Little Missy.

Jazz- I was trying to keep her awake.

Oriana was Super good today. Aunt Lisa and I were both at her head and Micheal only had to swat her once. Little more work and I'll be able to lease her out as a small adult/older youth's riding horse. Maybe one day next weekend I'll be brave enough to get on Oriana bareback, if not at least Jazz.

Horse Bath, Bunny Cage Revamp

You can see were the floor wire is new and shiney and the sides are all yucky and old. At least it'll add a few more years to the cages life.

HAD to get a picture of Heidi and Pheonix. They didn't get another bath, they just happened to be the first ones to get theirs.

Jazz soaking wet.

Jazz almost dry, almost ready to go back out with the others.

Oriana's wet here, starting to dry. She looks a TON better.

All dry and already had a roll at this point. Next time she'll get her mane and tail conditioned. Micheal comes Monday to do their feet again so that'll be the next update again! More soon!!!

Bunnies and Horse Bath day

Here's little Arthur, he's still so tiny. Good thing, he'll show well. He's 9 weeks old(give or take a few days) and He's already starting his work on sitting in pose for pictures. He's opal, not Blue Otter like I was hoping for, but that's alright.

Spike's the only one I took a picture of out in the x-pen. He was digging holes and getting dirty. Blaze was pestering him.

These little Itty Bitty babies were Born 8/10/2010, Mimzy and Sam. Mimzy's mother, Amita is due this week with a litter also to Sam. Hopefully I can sell them at the show in October that I'm planning on going to, or through Craigslist, if not they'll go in the meat pen. I've found several nice sounding recipies for Rabbit Jerkey that I want to try.

Phoenix taking his munch while he dried. The towel was for his face and I just tossed it over him while Heidi was still getting washed. Oriana nor Jazz came up the hill to see what this was all about so I'll get those two on Wednesday.

Phoenix Drying, Heidi and Aunt Lisa getting wet! I was amazed at how much dirt came off Phoenix. I guess he's rolled a few times more than we think he did.

Jazz just got groomed down and new Fly repellant applied until Wednesday.

Same with Oriana, grooming and more fly repellant.

I think I might have a place to put Oriana, Jazz and Phoenix, then Tessa when she joins the herd. Across the road from my barn, the guy said that the part of the feild is his, but the guy that owns the back part of it is selling out and Mr. Roarke(I know that can't be spelled right) said that if he can, he'd rather see horses up in his feild than the cows that roam the feilds. All he has to do is put up the fence. Plus this way when someone buys the place, they'll know the property line. I've dug a few post holes in my Kentucky Career, I think a few more won't hurt me, I can help him put it up, he's got all the supplies to do it he jsut hasn't had the time. This way I can open up the feild room at Aunt Lisa's and she can move horses and sheep around for grazing. Least that's the theory I've been informed of.

Return From Pennslyvania

Rachel saying goodnight to Dexter, her velveteen that I brought up.

Me giving Cindy Bunny a quick kiss goodnight, she was the one that was calm. Spots aren't a calm breed normally.

The trip home. That's for the first, maybe second traffic jam I hit. Construction on a Sunday, How dare they?

Not so thrilled to see that sign, West Virgina seems to go on forever! At least I knew it was going to end eventually, but as you can see the weather was nice.

Must blow up the picture and read the sign. Nutter Fort- 'nough said.

This was in Charleston, they are working on the bridges, made it feel like a covered bridge when I drove over it.

Cindy Bunny in her cage, she's sharing with Arthur until I can get Arthur into his own cage.

Arthur wouldn't sit with Cindy Bunny so I had to have a second picture for just him.

Spike stretched out and laid right down to relax, which was odd. I was expecting him to want to run around after living in a show carrier for two days.

Nessa I put outside in the x-pen, I let Blaze out when I got there, since he pouted on mother since mom didn't let him out when she fed. Blaze was interested since Nessa is a girl. Good size comparison picture too. Nessa's almost full size.

This is Blaze after I got all the Spots and Arthur settled, he made me run around the yard to catch him. I guess he got even for not getting out earlier.

It wasn't a bad trip. I had a lot of fun. Rachel and I got our Walmart trip out of the way. I was nicely sunburnt and Rachel needed a pillow so I got to drive teh Chevy HHR(Their rental car) over to Walmart(Pillow and Lotion). Rachel and I have a history with Walmart trips-though we used to go Friday Nights, not Saturdays. Cindy went to bed around midnight, Rachel and I looked at each other and snuck out of the room since we couldn't sleep. Barefoot and in our PJ's we walked around the parking lot and grassy area for almost an hour before we finally got tired, just talking and everything and Anything. We've decided to do these trips at least twice a year. April/May will be the next one. Though we will find a better hotel/motel room. This one was sooo dinky and cramped- it was a bad thought later on. We had changed hotels due to price, this one was cheaper. Well as the saying goes "You get what you pay for"- and boy did we ever. We shall learn from this experience.

Into Pennslyvania!

6:30 AM this morning, I was driving out to take care of the buns and pick up the ones going for the trip.

Into West Virigna! West Viginia seemed to last forever.

At long last, Pennslyvania, though I still had a few hours to go to get to Erie.

My buns outside the motel room, they were comfy, it was nice and cool outside and they got water bottles and food.

The buns Cin brought down. The two mini rexes on the left I got to pick one of them, they are both boys. I took the blue otter over the black otter.

The Blue otter buck. Now I have to think of a name for said little bunny. HMMM Ideas?

Nessa!

Spike!

This was the site unseen English Spot. Just a little itty bitty baby and I named her after Cindy.

The two cars in front of the hotel. Dad's little escort I took and the Red Chevy(reminds me of a PT Cruiser but it isn't) was a rental that Cindy and Rachel brought down. I LOVE that car, I drove it over to Walmart to get extra water bottles for Cindy and I had to get some lotion for hanging my arm out the window the whole ride- It's toasty now.

Me adn Baby Cindy. She's 6 weeks old right now. She'll get bigger.

Cin didn't want pictures taken, we got a couple but they are on Rachel's camera, off to steal her pictures off her camera.
