Musings

I just finished getting everything arranged for Vento to be picked up on December 27th. He will arrive in Santa Fe on the 28th at sometime o’clock. I’ve met horses at 2:00 am and at 1:00 pm. It just depends on the drivers, weather, how many horses they have to pick up and drop off. I’m spoiling him outrageously by getting him a box stall for the ride. He’ll be able to move around and put his head down to eat hay which is far more natural for horses. And he is a stallion. I know he’s sweet, but having him tied next to another horse just struck me as potentially stupid. I’ve had horses get stepped on by their neighbors and then I’ve got a cut foot to contend with. Vento will be all alone in his box, and unless he clips himself because he’s nervous he should be fine.

In some ways I really wish my coach was going to CA for the six weeks. I went out to pick up eggs and rum to make homemade egg nog this morning, and it is 20 degrees. Time to pull out the long johns, thermal riding breeches, and thermal boots.
