Being a lovely but windy day I stopped at Amanda's to drop Aislyn's gift and meet Miss Clover in the back yard. Britt and Cooper popped by too but Coop was very scared of all the bright toys, kids and sharp toothed puppy.
We set off for the ranch after 12, me going thru A&W drive thru to get burgers and B the Tim's drive thru for ice caps. We met back at the ranch to eat then get on with our horse day. We started by paddock clean up. B raked the old hay in piles and I loaded, added poop and took to pit to dump, repeat for 4 loads.
It was so ruddy windy though the hay was hard to contain in the ranger box so we moved on to the next thing: riding. She caught Roo and Pepper and I Switch and we did a repeat of the other day setting out bareback after grooming and cutting bridle paths.
It is Roo's 3rd birthday so she got lots of affection and grooming. She is also going for her training on Sunday! Once we were in the big field Switch was feeling spritely so we came across to the barn where I threw on a saddle. The legs are a bit sore to attempt any bareback bucks today. Then off we went again. Back at the barn we trimmed feet. B did Roo as I caught KD then ran to the gate to meet a fellow selling a paint sprayer. I had lost a glove while riding so took a quick loop in the ranger seeing in it already and found it back at the gate LOL
I trimmed Pepper and KD with B smoothing them up. Everyone got their vaccines in the butt by Dr B and Bird was fed. We put the horse in the summer pasture as they are planning to spray weeds early in the morning. It was a busy horse care day. B and Cooper loaded up yard tools Dave need for the deck rebuild and were off for home around 6:30. I ate the second helping of mushroom pork and chugged a cold beer before hitting the shower. A bit of marketing then watched CoronaVirus Explained on Netflix, have you watched it?
