Horse stuff but no riding

Oh miss Loretta.
I think she cut herself on some elderberry branches that I had piled up but hadn't moved out of the horse pen...  guess what, they are moved now.... I doctored her up with a tetanus shot (just in case; I don't know her vaccination history) and liberally applied Young Living's Animal Scents ointment.
After that I worked on Belle's rain rot- scraped off the scabs and applied Young Living's Melrose essential oil blend.

After feeding, I noticed that the neighbours were preparing to fall some danger trees that are next to Beamer's pen. Good plan! Because if they fell  they are close to Beamer's pen and could take out his fence.

I stuck around to see how Beamer reacted to all the commotion; he was pretty good considering how close to his pen it was. The mares couldn't have cared less, they were busy chowing down and were a little further away.

Thursday we are hauling in the winter's hay- 20 large square bales, hopefully before the snow hits; it sure has been nice here.
There's cold weather and snow in the forecast. I have just started my Christmas decorating- kind of hard getting into that when I still have reno work to do, but we are getting close.

It doesn't look too bad. I'm sure it will heal fast. Horses can find anything to cut themselves on. You live in one of the most beautiful areas I've ever seen, and that's saying something because I live in beautiful country, too.

Loretta will heal up in no time with your TLC. I am trying out a new line of oils (Rocky Mountain Oils). Speaking of mountains, looks like Beamer will have a better view of them now.

I envy you the mountains.
