Not the most fun you can have on a farm, but a necessary part of life. So today we will take on that project. We have three box stalls in the barn, and all three need help. Fortunately, we don't have to do it all by hand. Our lawn tractor has a bucket attachment which hubby uses to scoop out the stalls. The front of one stall comes off and the sides for the other two stalls can be removed as well. The only pitching you end up doing is pulling the stuff away from the wall so the bucket can pick it up.
It is a sunny day and suppose to get up in the middle 30s, so it should be a nice day to be outside and enjoy the outdoors.
Today is the Michigan Morgan Futurity Stallion Service Auction. Many stallion owners donate a breeding to their stallion to be purchased at auction. The foals that result from the breedings purchased tonight are eligible for bonus money in 2009 at the Futurity. Trainer Mike and I discussed what stallions would work for our two mares and will hope to pick up one for each tonight. I had hoped to go to the Gala, but think Trainer Mike will have to bid for hubby and I. Barn cleaning takes priority over social stuff today.
