when you are having fun. More than not, time seems to fly when you are hard at it and seem to be out all morning working with the horses. That was us this morning. Adam Tozer, Massie Lodge's farrier was out first thing to trim up Bob (Centenn), Hamish (Sir Weather Vain), Sweetie (Sweet Air) and Libby's (Miss Independence, pictured above with me) feet. After that it was "surgery rounds" which seemed to take another few hours. Not to mention Evan helping Leo our next door neighbour unload 100 bales of hay down in the hayshed. I tell you a glamerous life it is not, but a fulfilling one it is!
Yesterday was a quiet one for Massie Lodge and after doing a few things around the place, it was time to put our feet up and just enjoy the day, funny though when Monday comes around it comes with a vengeance and time seems to speed up. I have to ask the question, why does time seem to slow down when Iam working at Telstra? lol
This week sees a new arrival with "Thunderousclassics" arriving from NSW. T.C, a 16hh, 3 year old Marauding gelding who was with Gary Portelli for his initial preparation will arrive on Thursday. T.C was a $20k yearling at the Sires Produce Yearling sale in 2004 and is a half brother to "Norestforthewicked" a 2yo chestnust colt by Catbird. The future for T.C is unclear at this stage, although I can see that Evan is keen on giving him a preparation with Paul Nipperess to assess his ability. Perhaps a name change even? Ok, he is by Marauding out of Campfire Slave ... any ideas?
Finally, I have finished the Massie Lodge website and have sent it through to Melissa at Jozani Consulting for some last minute tweaking before it goes up on the net. (Dont worry you will be the first to know when it comes online!). The theme that is weaved through our site will be "Boutique Style Accommodation for your Thoroughbred" and I guess that's what we are.... a small boutique hotel that caters for the individual needs of our equine residents.
Evan's tipping will recommence in April of this year and on our main page we will have a section called, "Massie Musings" where Evan and I will contribute articles about the industry. What I wanted was a site that was simple, clear and concise and I think I have done it. (Well I hope so!!!).
Well its now 2.42pm. Nearly time to start the afternoon chores again .. maybe I will go and stick my feet up for a little bit till its time to go outside again.... hmm sounds a good idea to me!
Hooroo until next time
