Crazy Crazy

Hey Yall
Things have been super crazy the last couple weeks trying to get our land "horse ready". We spent all day out there yesterday finishing the fence and making space in our storage shed for all my stuff. After everything was done my mom and I went out to Mills and loaded everything up including the horses. My mom was very nervous about loading them in the rain but I promised her that both of them were super good loaders and I was right. Both horses walked right on the trailer without any hesitation what so ever! When we got there it was raining still and I felt terrible putting them out in the rain, but we had to so I put both their blankets on and turned them out. Both Danny and Amador were so happy they were running around like crazy exploring their new home. After they were done they chilled out and dug into the grass. They both looked really happy despite the rain. While they were settling in one of our friends Tania and her daughter Stephanie, who are our neighbors and also have horses, came over to check everything out and to help me unload. My dad made me some space in his equipment shed for the hay, feed, and all of my stuff until we get our barn built. We put up hooks and a shelf for all of my supplements and stuff like that above where the feed goes. I stayed the night at Tania's house so that I could go check on them throughout the night since I was so nervous about the weather. At about 5 o'clock it thundered really bad and I just got this feeling like somthing was wrong so I grabbed my truck keys and drove over to check on the horses. I got there and they were okay but Amador's blanket was soaked and was starting to get him wet so I went ahead and changed it to a different one. Then, soaking wet I went back to Tania's, changed, and crawled back in bed. Tania and I woke up at about 7 or 8 and feed both her horses and mine. Amador and Danny are getting along so well Amador even let Danny share his breakfast this morning, which is bad but irresistably cute!:)
