Can I just say it was a remarkable day out at the rescue?!?! There was so much going on and my vision is becoming an even bigger reality as we make major changes in preparing for the winter months.
First and foremost, every Navy Sailor who comes out has dedicated hard work, team work, commitment and passion. These projects would be difficult for me to complete without their help. I am forever grateful to each and every one of them. We also find time to give the horses individual care by grooming, taking them into the arena and mucking their stalls. We had a lot of fun spending time with them.
We opened up the mini’s enclosure and gave them access to more room and a larger shelter. Poor Marshmallow, who is the smallest and blind, was very cautious and even took a little fall, but by dinner time, he had it down!
The back side of the newest shelter was installed and our two geriatrics will have a warm, covered area to eat and rest out of the elements. This was a huge priority for me, especially with their age. The remaining two sides will be installed shortly, but you’ll see in the pictures that they’re settling in nicely.
I was so excited to spend some time with Katie, teaching her how to halter and groom the horses! She picked it up like she’d been doing it all her life giving each one of them some very needed time and attention. She had 5 of them groomed and looking pretty, even walking them to the arena! I know they’ll be happy to see her next time she’s out.
My Belgian Draft came home from training and everyone was in awe of what a gentle giant Tess is. I’m sharing some of the pictures taken with her after the hard work was done.
I know this has been a long post, but I had so much to share! Please know you’re welcome to come out to visit Saturday mornings as well! There’s always plenty to do and plenty of horses to love.
Thank you Lance, Chase, Dillon, Payton and Katie! Hope you enjoyed the muffins and pumpkin cheesecake! 😊
