Day 29 (Hauled the trailer out...)

Wendy:
I didn’t try to work Murphy outside of the barn, it is just too slick and wet, and parts of our round pens and our arena are still under water. When we go out to catch the boys we sink a foot. It’s pretty comical, have you ever stepped in sand and tried to pull your foot out and your boot stays in the mud?

Thank God Steve found someone with a four wheel drive to get our trailer out, it’s been stuck for two weeks. We will start working the boys on trailer loading if we can, and start hauling them to an indoor arena. Murphy still needs to go to the vet and have his wolf teeth removed. He’s gentled down enough now that I think that won’t be too much of a problem. It should be interesting trying to teach them to load in all this mess. We’ve parked it on high ground so hopefully we can get something done.
