Presque Isle and such

As we roll into the month of May we are a busy crew here on the farm. Lots going on and little time for much else. Lou, his mom and dad just left to take several loads of supplies up to Presque Isle. We'll eventually have 8 horses stabled there for the entire meet. I can imagine this year is going to be pretty hectic. We have 20 head which means full barn up north and full barn here on the farm.
I currently have three horses myself. All thoroughbred and all in need of being ridden. Tipping had a pretty bad puncture wound to just below her stifle. She was very lame and sore. Thankfully whatever did the damaged missed her joint and she's now healed and feeling better. I'm giving her until this coming monday and then back to work! Sealy has been on trial up at Maypine for two weeks. I was hoping she'd work out for their lesson program but I think she may end up coming home. She's doing really well for the advanced kids but the less educated riders are having a harder time. Not a surprise...I knew that and so did they...oh well...we'll see in the next few days I guess. I do have a new addition to my four legged clan. I am the proud new owner of a gorgeously yummy bay gelding named Murphy. I owned him a few years ago and just too re=ownership once again. One this time he he much more knowledgeable and that suits me just fine!
Hannah continues to absorb anything and everything she sees. She definitely has a case of "monkey see, monkey do." We've really been pushing her to talk and she's beginning to say a few more things. Now she loves to say hi and bye....and mumbles at the dog constantly.
I'm grooming her to be the next superstar female PGA champion. Her "Pop Pop" was hitting golf balls in the yard last week and she was trying her hand at it. Then while at Walmart I saw a plastic set of clubs complete with golf bag. Since that day, she has been dragging that thing back and forth to the barn. Pop Pop has been teaching her how to swing and she loves it.
Jade is doing much better now. For a while it was definitely battle of wills when trying to get her to come when called. There were several occasions when I nearly took her back to the rescue. If she were a cat, my guess is she'd be down to about 3 lives left. So now she is either tied to her run line or on a lease....unless she's in the barn, then she is allowed to run loose. Much happier owner!
I can't really think of anything else to update on so that's it!
