Rebel was so bad this morning I could not believe it. He did not want to even walk over to his feeder and I fed him out of a bucket. Left his gate open to get his mask and he hobbled out to the pasture. Of course I had to give him some bute again. Fortunately he had the boot on from last night.
After chores Gary went down to the Morgan Manning House for a bag sale (leftovers from the Peddler's Market) an pick up all these baskets for me. When we give veggies to people we like to deliver them in baskets. They have also been handy for us when collecting our bounty or taking a dish to pass somewhere.
I took a quick shower and headed down to the Farmers Museum for the Harvest Festival gig. It was pretty quiet compared to other years.
There were several vendors and displays. Kids love to play in this corn "crib."
Many people were taking advantage of the flower arranging table....so many gorgeous blossoms were donated.
My friend Brenda was displaying her paintings....
(remember this one of Abbe?)
I had never seen the black cow painting. Beautiful!
Her husband, Al was there with his bird carvings.
Donnie G. ran this event for years. So nice to see him today.
We were set up and playing by 12:30...ending at 2. No videos today.
Here's our last photo from the Farm Market. Maybe someone will send me one from today.
Home by 2:30 and went out to check on Rebel. He was doing much better.
I had a long chat with my friend, Andrea. She is by far the most knowledgable horse person I know. Really appreciate her input. Last night I did order him some light boots. The Vet said he has very thin soles and I'm beginning to wonder if he is getting bruised. One day at a time. He is doing me in, but I could never give up on this very sweet boy.
Ham and cheese panini's and chicken/rice/lemon soup for dinner.
Chores at 7:15. You can see how dark it's getting at that time.
Rebel was able to get into his stall with no problems....let's see what tomorrow brings.
Night all.
He just may be getting bruised. It's good news that he came in better than he went out. I hope you are feeling better.
