Well, no, she isn’t really a fireman, I’m not sure where that phrase came from. My friend Sue took a nearly 2 week trip to visit a new baby in the family, and dropped her horse Ruby off with our trainer. That worked out great – but when she left the pasture was pretty bare, all the horses were on hay, and of course Ruby was on hay at the trainer’s. Then the grass came on great guns… just fine if the horse is on it 24/7 and “eases” into it, but to go from hay to lush pasture can cause a lot of problems. So I offered to let Ruby stay here, since I work at home, I could take her back and forth to pasture on a schedule to gradually re-introduce her to grass.
So, as Sue has time, she comes out to ride or work with Ruby. This week, it has mainly been in the mornings, and it is cool to be working and see the two of them ride past my window. Ruby will be goig back home on Friday – back to her own herd and grass. I’ll miss her and Sue!
