2010 update

DSC_6034Wew, can’t believe it’s been more than 6 months since I posted an update! To be honest, I got kind of busy: got pregnant, had to take care of Ole, got the baby, had to take care of Ole and the baby obviously… And I just have a minute while the baby is sleeping to post a word about Ole.

So how have things been going?… Last winter was fairly good, with had a TON of rain, I had never seen that before in California. It was good for the state but not so good for Ole. Yes because rain means water, californian sun plus water mean grass. Plenty of grass.

Of course Ole ate a lot of grass, of course she started to show signs of laminitis… So off she went to the stable area and got to work. At this point, I was 8 months pregnant, entering my 9th month, but I had to work her… I lunged her everyday for a month, she lost a bunch of weight and finally she was allowed to go back to pasture.

Since she went back, she put back on the weight she had lost and she is now looking mighty good! Fall is coming pretty fast and I’m gonna have to figure out where to put her, to finally break her. Sooooo… I’ll let you know when anything exciting happens!
