November- already!

Things are pretty quiet here; we are trying to get a few things done before Ted has to leave for work again; firewood, fall yard cleanup, winterizing vehicles etc.
Now that the cows are off the pasture, I have turned the mares out on a bigger pasture, where they can stay out overnight- which really annoys Beamer; he can't aways see them, so he goes rippin' around.
When I bring him in I have Rio next to him for the night so he should be quiet- I hope!
He has a bit of swelling above his left knee; not sure why as I can't see any cut or puncture.
You can see it in this photo. I'll see if there is any change in it tomorrow; he may have just banged and bruised it; I'll put some anti-inflammatory oil on it and give him some time off.
For those of you who are Stacy Westfall fans after watching the bridleless reining videos I posted, here is a link to her blog. She has a 4 video series on halter training that I found quite interesting.

Sammi is doing well in her training, and there are some people who are interested in her, so I'm hoping they will decide to buy her. Janice saw her work today, and will be posting some photos shortly. The trainer really likes her and wants to make sure she goes to the right home. Good Sammi!

Drifter does that when he can't see the mares, too, but then he has no excuse . . .

That's great to hear about Sammi. I left a msg on your post about her but couldn't get it to go through for some reason.

I'm curious about what anti-inflamitory oil you use??
