Today we beat the standing record for the warmest day since 1820 or something like that. We got to 60 degrees today. It was very nice, but very muddy. The drive going back to the barn is horrible. DH spread stones, but it didn't seem to help much. Sometimes its nice when the ground is frozen.
The farrier came today, which was great because of it being so warm. Out of four horses two have issues. My gelding cut his coronet band (right above the hoof) while playing this afternoon. He had lots of blood on his hoof, but it doesn't seem to be bothering him. I put some cream on it to try and keep an infection away. My little mare had an abscess in one of her feet. It blew out through the bottom of her hoof. So, once we got her trimmed we cleaned up the hole and put a home remedy on it and wrapped it in vet wrap and duct tape. I'm praying that she doesn't get an infection from it. She doesn't seem to be feeling real well right now, but the farrier thinks its just "spring fever" which they basically get a minor cold.
I'm still working on my double delight quilt. I haven't made alot of progress, but I am working on getting the SNS blocks put together into the larger blocks. I am using my walking foot on my machine because I'm having problems with sewing over some of the seams. I'm also going to start working on a western show shirt for showing horses. I bought a pattern this winter and got the fabric, so now I'm going to try and make it. I haven't sewn clothes since high school, so it might be interesting. I'm hoping that it goes well and if it does then I may get into making them to sell on e-bay and such.
Today I got some training approved for the month of March. I found training available in the city next to where my sister just moved to. I'm super excited to get to go see her and her new house and kids (dogs). She is super excited too. Now, I keeping my fingers crossed that the class is a go. Sometimes if they don't have enough people register for a class they won't hold it. Let's all hope that they do hold it, so I can see my sis.
