Long time no posty ...

So, November ended up being kind of a crazy screwed up month. I was terribly upset about having to take Richie and Fruity to the Fraser Valley Auction, but we've all got to survive somehow.
The grey horse proved his "bubble boy" worthiness again, by getting an infection in his leg. 10 days of antibiotics later I was in the middle of a Strangles outbreak. One of the horses at my barn got it, and I was the only one with enough brains to look after him properly. Not to mention the fact that the owners couldn't afford a vet call. So I got the antibiotics and administered them for two weeks until he got better.
Luckily though, I found a new place! It's further east, but there's no mud, and no poor stupid horse people! That's mostly because it's my barn and there's only really me there. K from the old barn came with, and C was supposed to come. She bailed though, due to moving closer to the city (wierdo :-P).
It's a 5 stall barn with an office and feed room. A ton of hay storage out back, 2 paddocks with stalls, and a 5 acre field. The girls have the field to themselves, and the grey horse is keeping the cheeky colt company in the paddocks. There is also a small riding ring, which is now lit (thanks to my new found Sparky skills!).
It was gorgeous and sunny this morning, and the girls were feeling frisky ...





And some pictures of the facility ...
