I have not ridden Sassy much since we moved to Florida. There are no state park trails adjacent to our house like in Washington. The local road is busy and cars fly by too close. I have a lot going on with the farm, vlogs and homeschooling two kids. There is always something. This morning I woke up at 5A and I decided, no more excuses. It’s time for these two old ladies to get back in shape. My goal is to get us out to sorting practice at the ranch down the road. Since Sassy is 32 years old, turning 33 in April, we may only walk next to the cows. But we will do it knowing that over 3 decades ago, an 11-year old and her tiny brand new filly started this adventure - and whatever we have done, whether old or new, we have done it together.
The health food store near my parents’ house sells “avocado mousse” and my dad has always said it’s a genius way to get rid of over-ripe avocados. I tried making it myself today and I have to agree! This is the recipe I used:
2 avocados
4 tablespoons cacao powder
1/2 cup raw milk
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
I am taking a few of the baby goats to another yoga class next weekend, and I have learned my lesson with boy goats: they require extra care when it comes to their “fire hose” so as not to urinate all over the yoga mats.
Our farrier, Jordan, did a great job explaining what white line disease is and how it compromises a hoof. As with many health issues, it does have a metabolic component. Horses’ hooves take a beating when they are nutritionally challenged, usually due to too much sugar, and so it’s always a good idea to reevaluate your animal’s overall health instead of just focusing on the hoof, which is usually a symptom.
