Give Larry a try

I talked to Sally at work today and she agreed to help me get Red to Larry, the stranger who offered to work with Red for a day or two. I think it’s important to do this soon before his habits get ingrained in him.

The pasture is down to stuff Sparkler and Red don’t really want to eat so tonight Bob and I set some T-posts and attached most of the post covers and T-post connectors for the tape we hope to run and connect to the main system tomorrow. We ran out of connectors, so Bob will make a run to Stockman’s tomorrow.

This should give them a huge new space to eat from. It’s the last area in our plans to fence in. It’s temporary and we’ll close this off this fall, once it gets colder and we start feeding hay. Next year, I think we’ll run straight wire using sturdy corner posts with T-posts in between.

I ran across this gorgeous spider in the field and was worried - bright color and all - that it was poisonous. Found it on the Web - it's the garden spider and totally harmless.

Yesterday, I set 3 plastic chairs in an obstacle course row near the round pen. When I have time I'll lead the horses around and weave through them. Today they are all turned over and scattered.
