The forecast sad it would rain and late morning we got the start of a nice steady rain that hopefully will last as the forecast says thorough tomorrow. I took some of the California poppies that have self seeded in the front garden and planted them in one of the flower beds in the back garden. We went out to the horses as usual and Bouncer the old Appaloosa is looking more and more limber with each day. I found out that he is 26, younger and in a lot worse shape than Karrot who will be 29 this March and can still be ridden. Bouncer was left in his pen for possibly years with out turn out and I think that his whole body atrophied. Doug and I have taken it upon ourselves to turn him out every day, he goes out with Karrot. Pesky chased him a lot the one and only time that we tried all four horses out together.
I am looking forward to when our farrier comes, we will ask him to trim Bouncer as he also drags his toes when he walks.
It feels really good to help an animal that can not help itself.
