Phantom is an extremely curious horse, and he likes to test everything with his mouth. The other day, I sat my grooming kit on the ground while I was grooming him, and he proceeded to check everything over before grabbing the curry brush and mouthing it.

Over the weekend, Daddy was able to finish up the roof on the stalls. Right now, they are quite content being outside in the turnout area as they like to relax in the sun.

It was a long night as the horses were quite restless which made the dogs go crazy for most of the night. Needless to say, we were rather tired the next day. The new routine began as we got up…

Over the last few weeks, Daddy and daughter have been working on getting our rental property set up to bring our horses home as time allowed. Stage one was pouring footings for the shelter for their stalls. They allowed the concrete to cure a couple of days before moving on to stage two. Daddy taught Munchkin about how things needed to be measured in order for it all to turn out right. This was the beginning of the shelter for the first stall. The main posts are in place with the first headers done on the backside of the stalls.…
