Updates (5th July)
    13 years ago
            Heya,
So... I'm still alive... I think. This past week has been more than a little crazy for me. The weekend was spent waiting on people (who never showed on Saturday, so instead of going for a horse ride, I ended up doing an oil painting) and then moving horses from one farm to another. Then, cattle were moved into easier to muster paddocks. Monday was spent bringing all three mobs of cattle down to the yards for testing and then back into easier paddocks. Tuesday I went for my horse ride (i hadn't been for over a week and I aim for at least two rides a week). Yesterday (Wednesday) was spent all day at an auction and then working on commission work.
So.. yeah.. most of that was done with a swollen knee as I wrenched it running across a paddock. However, I have a brace for it and it should be alright provided cattle don't go into the swampy bits. Anyway, this is roughly what's going to be happening in the next couple of days.
Today (Thursday): Bring all cattle back to the yards for reading of test done Monday. Work on commissions in evening after dinner and before I crash.
Friday: Baby sit so Mother-In-Law can take her yearling to get broken in and bring back a young quarter horse for trekking work. If weather is agreeable will do some flat works on my riding horse (which is borrowed, my boy isn't broken in yet).
Saturday: Drench cattle (maybe). If not drenching, finishing off current commission.
Sunday: Commission/art/business.
Status of everything:
Private Commission: Complete
Rhymes and Reasons (business):
- Order #002 - Number Frieze (A4/B4 size) - 99% complete - Ready for Printing and shipping
- Dominoes - Parts Arrived.
- Alphabet Frieze - Need to re-do letters N, X, and I
- Flash Cards - Need to work on back, but pretty much done
When things settle down again I will hold a raffle for you guys since I reached 400 watchers and I will do some freebie streams as well.

                    two of the mares went back to their owners and because the stallion can't run by himself (he goes loopy otherwise) one of the brood mares from the home block had to come here to go in with him and it couldn't be one of our work horses because one of them in a mare (who isn't going into brood with him) and the other is a gelding and will get beaten up.

                    yup. there's currently two on the block we're on (the stallion and his mare) and 10 on the other block, with another young one coming tomorrow and another broodmare coming within the next month. one of the ten is mine and one is my partners and one of other ten is my riding horse.
