Rain, Rain Go Away

I live in hurricane alley so all this rain is helping keep the hurricanes away so I'm thank-ful for that, but otherwise it stinks! Go rain in California and Nevada where they desperately need it.


There is about 3 inches of standing water in all the working areas and common areas of the barn. The only place that is dry land is right in the middle of the round pen which I call the island.

So, I walked blossom threw the "rivers" to the island in the middle of the round pen.
She stayed in the middle and cried. Every time she thought I was leaving and leaving her on the island she would neigh louder. It broke my heart, but I had to clean her stall. I would never forget my Blossom on an island, but she doesn't know that yet.

We have spent time taking walks out on the road to get her used to traffic and let her feet dry. (Her stall is also nice and dry)

We have an exciting week planned, rain or not, we will be visiting Harmony Farms a riding facility for hadicapped children. Harmony Farms has done wonderful work enriching the lives of children here in Brevard county through horsemanship. I know Blossom will enjoy the outing too.

I will be taking Blossom back to her home base barn on Friday. It will be good for her to learn that she can leave home, go places and return to a place called home.
