Storms

I haven't had time to blog for several days because I am trying to take care of a neighbor's house and pets while still trying to take care of my own. They have four house dogs, a cat, two cockatiels and a loud mouth parrot that I just adore. The horrible storms haven't helped much either. My computer has been shut off most of the time recently. It seems like there is a new storm moving through every few hours.

We only got 2 inches of rain here on Friday night, but central Indiana got 10 inches and from what I have heard it is nearly impossible to get to Indianapolis from the southern part of the state. Bridges are out and roads are under water.

Our barn did flood again on Friday night and I did fall again yesterday in the same place that I fell the other day. This time I didn't have time to try to catch myself, so I am not quite as sore. I walking into the goat/chicken house and all of the sudden I was laying flat on my back looking at the sky trying to catch my breath. The good news is that only my backside was covered with mud and manure this time. I have told my DH that I am not going back in that lot unless the ground is dry.

Our last mare is getting ready to foal. The foaling stall has an inch or two of water in it, so we are hoping to get it dried out before she decides to foal.

I will probably blog more than once today if it doesn't storm.

Hoosier Horse Fair

Event: The Hoosier Horse Fair & Expo 30th Anniversary
Dates: April 4-6, 2008
Location: The Indiana State Fairgrounds, located at the intersection of East 38th Street and Fall Creek Parkway in Indianapolis.
Website: http://www.indianahorsecouncil.org/horse_fair.htm

We have only had the opportunity to attend this event twice because the dates always fall during foaling and kidding time. But both of the times that we have gone it has been well worth the money and trip. This is where we first got acquainted with the makers of CRS Gold DFM Equine Probiotics and first tried this wonderful product.
