The SMART One
Diane had to leave early for the funeral today so Ruth and I walked over to Joan's she had her church clothes on but was willing to walk as she didn't have to be there until a little later. On the walk we saw that Tessa's filly must have gotten caught climbing between fences and scraped up her leg. Most of it was just some hair off but one place was a little deeper. Tessa and her filly were put in the stall so I could treat it. It is hard to see in the picture but it is the red area on her right hind leg.
That was cleaned off and then sprayed with a betadine solution. They were left in the stall for the day. I sure don't want flies getting into it. Cookie was also brought in when the sun came out this morning. She is healing well and was really glad for the company in the stalls today. Below is after her lotion was applied. 
She still looks bad but is healing. Cookie has heaves so it isn't good for her to be in the stall but right now it is worse for her to be out in the sun. Once the horses were finished I went down to the house to help Mark with the stove. It is now put together and works perfectly.
I went back to start on our dishes and to get the kitchen cleaned up as I left it a mess last night but walked in and it was done! Someone came while I was gone and cleaned up the entire kitchen. I knew it couldn't have been Mark so sent a marco to the kids. It was SARAH and her girls. What a wonderful boost. Instead of working on my kitchen I went to the barn and started cleaning that one. The fridge was cleaned out, the dishes all put away and half of the floor scrubbed. The sheets were washed and the beds made and all 6 bathrooms were cleaned. Tomorrow I'll need to finish the kitchen floor then work on the gym. We have airbnb guests coming in on Friday. When I finished I went back over to the barn to treat Tessa's filly again but saw Berlica working with Penny. Since we want Penny to learn to canter we worked on that in the round pen. We were just finishing up when Sarah arrived. Of course Berlica needed to show the girls the new trick Penny learned today.
All 3 of Sarah's girls wanted to go on a trail ride today. Mike joined the group and Berlica rode Rosalie with River so we had 5 riders and 4 horses on this ride. The video below was taken before they got on the 'death' trails.
The phone died just before they got to them. All of the horses were perfect for their riders. Below are a few pictures of the riders and their horses. 
Tessa's filly was given a tying lesson so I could clean out her wound better. I had to take the video below. She was SO MAD! She was shaking her head and giving me the evil eye. Tessa was moved into the other stall so I could clean the stall and watch over the filly while she was tied.
We ended on a good note. Sarah helped with cleaning out her wound. She was exhausted after that and took a nice long nap in the hay.
This evening I was working on the farm house when Spark and Rhonda arrived with a lot of items that were all needed to classy up this joint. Braelyn was working on cleaning the apartment at the same time. I was washing sheets and drying the comforter at the house. Rhonda was putting the different things she bought around the house and Spark figured out how to install the TV that had been delivered today. I ran up to take the comforter up to the apartment and when I got back Spark and Rhonda had the TV up on the wall.
Of course we had to try it out. It is a smart tv and much smarter than I am.
