Horses!

You would have thought I had ten eyes when I said I was tilling up the field, taking soil samples and re-seeding it all Timothy.

Oh wow lol

I had to stop for the week. Husband was out of town on business and have been taking the kids to doctor, dentist appointments all week and back to school shopping since they start next week. Next week I will have plenty of the free time to paint finally!

Looking forward to seeing it finished! How are your horses?

They are doing great! I need to get a picture of Ronin she is starting to get a lot more grey flecks on her. I’m so excited to see her grey over the next year.

Question, is it common for people around you to feed hay to their horses from random weedy fields and ditches or is it a Midwest thing? My neighbors keep telling me just to bail my ditches and weedy field (even has wild marijuana lol) because that’s what everyone around here does? Maybe it’s because I’m from the East coast, but this just seems bonkers to me and like a recipe for disaster? Don’t get me wrong we bailed our own hay, but we were always very particular about walking the fields to check for toxic plants or any plants that could cause abscesses in the horses mouths every spring, all of our fields were originally tilled up then seeded heavily with Timothy and fertilized/reseeded with Timothy as necessary. We would use a horse safe weed killer in the fall after bailing and rotate which fields we baled alternating every year. Maybe I’m the bonkers one? I thought what we did in the east coast was normal, but everyone here looks at me like I have four eyes with how particular I am

I've never heard of doing that, I am picky with my horses forage so I personally wouldn't. One of mine gets loose stool on certain hays though so I have to be picky
