I wanna blog quick. 2 funnies today.

So u know Cook threw her shoe. Well Mere called me to tell me that Cook didn’t want to be caught today in the pasture when the farrier came out to put it on. :-) I couldn’t go out there cause I had a 9am meeting but Mere covered it and got her for me. Cook was being a butt.

The second funny was that Mere was in Hillsborough and asked me to do the milk test on May. May is due to foal any day now. U milk the mare, add a solution, and then dip a test strip in and it will predict when the baby will be born. I have done it with Mere a dozen times so I thought it would be no problem. (for non-horse people, it’s not like milking a cow, it’s not easy!) My problem becomes that Mere always does the milking… so I start… and…

I can’t get a drop of milk to appear. NOTHING. Ninnies aren’t even wet.

Gooooood One!

So I try to call Mere. No answer. I give up.

I leave the barn, drive away and think who can I call about this? Kevin! Yay! He knows all the answers to horses. So I call him and ask him about milking a mare. So he gives instructions and I make a U-turn in the middle of the road to give this another try. I walk back into the barn, get Alexis to hold her again and don’t u know!….. milk comes right out. VERY YAY! I know he will be embarassed when I say this but I think he’s pretty frickin’ awesome. Who else can give milking instructions over the phone and they work?
I finished the test. No foal predicted for 48 hours. We got time. Thanks Alexis for holding May and feeding her treats so she didnt’ kick/kill me.

Went out with Rocky and Scott. Had a good time. Hit the Glenwood sites.  It was sort of random…  Scott texted me to ask me what I was doing, and I happened to be on 55 next to his house.  So we decided to go out and we hooked up with Rocky.  I did well.  I was very sleepy tho cause it was past my 830 bedtime.  :-)
