Fencing- again

 Dad wanted to work on the fence this afternoon so before(and after) feeding Drachefeld we got the corner post stood up, a brace post and two bracer's put in for the corner!  We are going to try to put in the other brace for the gate post so from the power pole to the backyard gate will be ready to be re-strung, unless I change my mind to replace with all wood posts!  

Our Supervisors for a little while at least! 



We used my truck to winch the post back up.  
And Dad admitted- I was right!  LOL


And we learned don't try to store concrete bags for a longer length of time.  I had one bag left from like 18 months ago that I had been storing and I don't think it will ever be right. 


I think it looks pretty good!  

Also- I think Stormy has outgrown her next up size nylon halter.  This is the 'Colt' size for 500-800 pound, it was the next size up from her foal halter.  It is on it's loosest holes.  I still want to try the next size up rope halter, 'horse' size, as well.  I have time for that.

Starting winter prep

 
Pictures didn't end up in any kind of order I don't think.  But I started to winterize for the horses.  I scrubbed and filled their big 150 gallon water tank, while it was filling I just sat on Heidi and just laid with her and enjoyed it.  

Stormy's legs are now thicker than Tessa's- and By the way- Happy 5 month old birthday Stormy! 



I also braided Stormy's mane.  Mostly to try and train it to lay on the left side of her neck and leave her white markings open.  

I had a couple rubber bands left over on my finger that I had brought out so I started Heidi's as well.



I think it looks kind of cute all braided up.  







For right now I moved the big water tub down closer to the hydrant. so I can start to get some sand/rock and get this fixed up so it's not so 'ankle breaker' treacherous.  



First time I have seen the new boy, Oreo get that close with the old Dutch girls.  


Then got Willow outside for some run around and fun times!
