is normally a day of rest (well it certainly is for young foals!). This is not entirely true. Sunday is usually a day that seems to go slower than every other day of the week. However, I woke up early this morning to hear cries from the lounge room... after becoming fully conscious I realised that Evan was watching the soccer (football?) and is not happy. Hmm. I guessed that the Aussies were not going very well and today was not going to be a rest day. lol
So, after watching the Aussie being beaten, we decided that we, the humans, would have breakfast first before the four paws and the four-hooved ones. Nanna was not happy about this state of affairs at all and was very vocal in telling us (in fact, neither was Bessie who had to wait an enormous amount of time for her morning biscuit). "Tough" I said.
It was a big day at Massie Lodge after all. Today we sold April to some lovely people in Toowoomba who I thought would really care for her. April was on her best behaviour and was a doll. Even getting on the 2-horse float.... what an angel... mind you, both Evan and the new owners were very patient with her, letting her get used to this strange new contraption. We got a call from them to say that she was a good girl on the way home and that she hooked straight into a feed... LOL, that's our girl.
*sigh* Yeah Iam feeling a little sad, but hey, thats what this is all about and I have reconciled myself to this. I have also reconciled with the fact that 3 of the girls will be going through the MM sale next week. Its a case of "having to move on..." and our business "continuing to evolve".
Sunny, Lily and Lenny are our next racing interests. Sunny will probably go up to Paul's at the end/at the start of the new year as we wanted to give her a good break before starting her career.
Chris will be back next week to do a little bit more work on Billy's front feet, and its better to get this work done before the growth plates lock. The Prognosis: Very Good.
It has been a very hectic year here at Massie Lodge... with lots of interesting characters with nice owners. I sat down and thought about whatelse would I want to be doing with my life and decided easily that there is no where else that Evan and I should be. Too easy.
