Hi all,
We went out to the rescue on Wednesday to do a Field trip. Jester is doing well. He's a little sore. I got him out and groomed him. He has a few more cuts, but they are little ones. I rode him bareback in the indoor arena for about 20-30 minutes. After that I put fly spray and suntan lotion on him. Then I put him in his stall. I also mucked it out and gave him some carrots:). After I did some other things I came back and brought him into the arena and let him loose. And, of course, he rolled! Twice. After he did that he went to the end in the sun and looked over and watched everything that was going on. He's such a cutie!
Thanks for reading!

Hi all,
Today we went out to the rescue and Jester is losing a little weight so he has been put back on 3 scoops of senior w/fat.As opposed to 2 scoops of sweet feed w/fat.i got him out and gave him a good grooming plus treats.He got sun screen on his muzzle and fly spray on his body.I fed him early becuase it takes him longer to eat then the other horses.I broght him out too.
Thats all for today!

Hi all,
We did go out to the rescue on Sat. Jester got a bath from someone else, but I got him out and groomed him still. I let him out in the arena and he did a little exploring,but he didn't roll.I know he wanted to, but he didn't find the right place. It was really hot! He was sweating.But we fed and when I turned Jester out I told him when I was done I would come back and put fly spray on him.So when we were done with feeding and mucking out I went out to his pasture and put fly spray on him. I stayed out there talking to him and stroking him, telling him what a handsome and special boy he is and other things for about 10 minutes. So I gave him a kiss and hug and told him I have to go.So I started walking away and about 11 ft. away I looked back and he was following me! So I stopped and he stopped when he was next to me.He nudged me and I started petting him and he followed me all the way to the gate!!I was so excited, words can't explain it:).It was extremely hard to leave him, but it was time to go:(
Ttyl!

Hi all
We went out to the rescue yesterday and Jester is doing fine.I did take Jester exploring and we met other horses and grazed.He seemed to be enjoying it!What he really wanted to do is graze.After that I took him into the barn and gave him a good grooming.Then I took him into the arena and turned him loose.So he walked around and,of course it's his favorite thing to do!,he rolled.Every time I take him in there he rolls.I don't mind at all.I laugh every time he does it.I will try to get a pic. of him doing it and post it.While he was still in the arena I dusted him off and put some fly spray on him.Then I put him in his stall.I went and did some other things.Then I came back and gave him a few treats(I'm trying to cut back on giving him treats,but not doing a good job!)I took him back into the arena and rode him bareback at a walk for like 7 min.Then i took him back into his stall and mucked it out and gave him a hug and a kiss(like i always do when I see him:)I feel soooo sory for Jester when he's sore.He's the sweetest horse I've ever met!
