after having a lovely sleep, in fact a sleep more fit for a dead person, I woke up this morning feeling very positive about life. You make your own opportunities in this world, and next week I will explore some more avenues for Massie Lodge and Gallopers. Although I wont be doing that on Tuesday, after Chris visits to "de-ball" the colts, it will be straight into Melbourne Cup mode!
With the spring carnival in mind, I have spoken with Lily (pictured here with Evan) and told her about her appointment at the Oaks in Melbourne in 2 years time and young Billy was told about his appointment in the Derby. I have also had a word with Jimmy about the Stradbroke and Jakey was told about the Clifton Cup in 2 years time! While I was out talking to the youngsters, I also had a serious word to Susie about possibly making a start in a race at some time in the near future (and I mean, actually getting to start in a race without any insect bites or leg problems).
See I have no illusions of grandeur - just reasonable expectations and dreams that all thoroughbred owners nurture!
I took all the canines for a walk this morning around the horses and to inspect all the dams. Naturally, this is the right occasion for them to test "swim" them. I was very happy to see that our No. 4 dam has actually fared very well from the last rains. In fact, it was full to the brim and as you will from the photos that I will post, the dogs enjoyed that dam the best!
Today we did a few changes to the horses paddocks. Trousers and Vera have gone into the paddock with the horse swimming pool as this now has some nice picking.
Southern and Queenie have come up to be the official Victor Lawnmowers for a few weeks and we will change them over in 3 weeks time.
Libby has gone down into the day yard next to Susie. It has been confirmed this morning that she will go back to Dust in the Wind on her foal heat.
The three girlies are enjoying life in their new paddock and the freedom to roam and pick. Let's see how long it takes for them to become totally uncontrollable! LOL
Jakes and Lenny will go down the back into their own yard, once they have recovered from their little operation.
Caramel is back in the paddock next to the house and is working the stable down. She no longer wears a halter all the time. This girl has come a long, long way and its all due to Evan's continued work with her.
There will be no rest for the wicked today as I will need to do some work on Gallopers.com.au and hopefully this will give Evan a chance to have some needed time off, all things being equal.
Um, but when are things ever considered equal? LMAO
Helen.
