Today we are reclaiming our property

After the horses worked at Fair Hill Training center, I came back to the farm to be with the horses that a laying-up. We also have yearlings that we are breaking starting in September, as well as broodmares in foal.

There is a tree line around three sides of the farm and it is so overgrown with weeds that you couldn't see over them to the adjacent farm. We got out the weed-wackers and just mowed the weeds down. We took no prisoners! It should take us about three days to complete the project and then I will be able to mow behind the fence line and up to the woods.

Mimi is resting at the farm and getting ultrasound treatments and acupuncure on her back. Mandy is racing Thursday and then she will come home for a three day rest. The dogs are sleeping in the house in the AC.

Sunday-horses day off

All the horses went out in the paddocks early because of the heat. We used fly masks for the first time this season. When they came in they all got a bath. They were very happy standing in front of their fans.



My neice Jessica and her friend Dudley came to the farm to visit and brought their dogs. The barn cats all went into hiding. Huckleberry (Dudley's dog) made a real game out of chasing the cats and was in the "Dog House" because of it.

Della is going to Fair Hill training center tomorrow to continue training as a race horse. Mimi is coming home to get a break and Mandy is probably going to race this week.
