We have moved the tack shed shed, out from the 6bay shed to start building the tack room! This will also be used to house some excess furniture etc, and hopefully also mean the garage can be used for cars (shock horror)...
This weekend I am hoping to get the floor leveled, and maybe boxed... also the same for in front of the horse boxes...
We still need some hay to move before we can concrete, but hopefully in the next few weeks we can get a bit shifted...
I have also moved the gg's from the quarantine paddock that they were moving down as I have offered to take a quite Halswell rescue horse, but unsure if they will have one suitable for me...
Bills and Abbs are getting hairy and fat, and have been enjoying the lovely weather for the past 2 days.
Teddy is looking like a puff ball... I will start to walk him or jog him behind the quad down to feed out the others at night time for some much needed exercise!

Well,
Not much to add, Bills is still resting... and enjoying getting grass!
Abbie is coming home tomorrow for a break, will be funny to have her home again.
I have got everyones winter covers sorted, so feeling very happy about that. Also planning on making the tack shed, to remove alot of furniture etc from the house and garage... The nights are definitely starting to get colder already, think winter wont be far off this year.
Still have a stack of hay to get sold... and managed to get some lucerne last weekend...
Duckie has gone to live with Anita, and has made some new friends, so thats great news.....

Mcleans event
Bills just had new thoroflex shoes put on and looks like he is wearing high heels!
After a very hot week, came a very hot weekend.
Kerry and Cozzy and Billy and I went for a ride/jump at Roydvale... Bills was in a bit of a mood, but came right after a time. It was a long day, coming home and washing and platting and cleaning gear for the next day.
Sunday was another stinking hot day.. Bills had a good day, dressage test was not his best, but def not his worst either! He took a rail sj, again at the double... oxer first and upright second, and a bit on a long stride for his short legs... Cross country he was clear... Managed to get home at about 6 pm, so a long day.... Shaun didnt come home until 4.30am (driving back from Auckland) so had a bit of work to do when I got home.....

Bath time
Teddy was in need of a bath, so had one on Friday, aslo washed his cover...
He had a few "manner" lessons as well, and think he has a better understanding of what I expect from him now...
Took some pics for his reg transfer as well, so will add later (he was very grumpy!) His mane is now much softer, and oh so white...
I lunged Bills over a grid at home, and that went well... he is starting to get better with that sort of thing.
Event this weekend, and then the float is in to have vents put in, the back door done and hopefully the padding done...

Awww
Bills loves his new friend, and has been spotted giving him back licks over the gate.
Teddy has had a wee lesson on manners, but is just lovely... he can even get up on the deck at home, but it is fairly high for his wee leggies.
Shaun really likes him, and has put his jarmies on twice this week...
I went to watch a bit of the dressage at the weekend, was good to see.... Missed watching Kerry on Cozzy, but saw Jaffa, and he was very calm...
Wednesday we had another twilight, Bills had been a bit of a twit in the paddock before I caught him (in fact he wasn't really into being caught at all, which is odd for him)he was galloping and bucking around his track!
His dressage test was fairly marginal, but we later discovered a big knot in one of his muscles.
Sj was a bit better, but sill a rail on the last of the double...
Xc was alot better, the Mexican grakle seems to have done the trick and Kerry had some breaks...
They ended up 4th overall, and are sitting 4th for the series....
pics to come
