Hey guys,
We went out for a few minutes on Tuesday so I finally wormed Jester! I got to groom him for a couple minutes too. We could only stay out there for area minutes because we had to go somewhere else. We should be out there on Saturday.

Hey everyone,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Jesters doing pretty well. He got adjusted a few weeks ago. He hasn't been sore for the past weeks which is really great! It's quite the transformation:).
I have been taking him out for rides in the big pastures. He is still not a very good trail horse, but he's getting much better. He does well in the big pasture where no horses are turned out. He doesn't do so well in the pasture with all the horses in it.
I am going to try to bring him out there and go into he woods (while i'm leading him) and let him play in the creek. I think he would be interested in it. I would like him to try something new since he seems really bored. I added water bottles with rocks in them in his stall and a jolly licker thing, but I would like him to get out and do something!
I will be worming him on Saturday. I was supposed to do it 2 Saturdays ago, but some things came up and I didn't have time too. Then I forgot the keys to my tack trunk and couldn't get the worker out without causing serious damage to it (which I wasn't going to do). So I'm definitly going to do it on Saturday or if I get the chance to do it sooner I will.
That should be it for now.

Hi everyone~
Saturday I was able to do several things with Jester. I was able to give him a good cleaning. I hadn't been able to groom him the past couple of times I had been out there because I didn't have any time. So after that I took him into the arena and did some work in there with him.
Nowadays I don't take Jester outside in the hear of the day since it's not good for him, but if I do he always has his fly mask and sunscreen on his face. He is starting to get a little pink on his face(more pink than he should).
I am still giving Jester Acti-Flex (a joint supplement) and flax seed (to help with his coat and omega 3) everyday. He gets Acti-Flex in the mourning and flax seed in the evening. He gets 2 scoops of Triple Crown Senior too.
All of the horses stalls and some of the pastures were decorated for the 4th of July! It really lit up the place. And of course Jesters stall looked the best! As you can see I took pictures of it and posted them to the right of the page. I hope you like them! I have taken out a lot of old screws and nails in Jesters stall while I was cleaning it up. I dusted cob webs and a lot of dust off it too. Let me just say his stall is in much better condition!
After feeding was done I put Jester out in the big pasture with Buddy. Jester was very happy to see him and eager to be let loose.
That's it for now,
Stephanie

So I just posted some new pictures! The pictures that you see Jester grazing in are him in the big pasture. It has a lot of grass in it and it's really big so I like to let him lose out there for a while. His pasture dosen't have much grass in it and there's 3 other horses that go out there.
Buddy is Jester's best friend! Last week my sister and I turned them out into the big pasture together (like we always do). Kristin went out there to retrieve Buddy and when Jester saw that he was gone he started running around and neighing for him. Now Jester doesn't do that for just anyone! So it was really special to see him do that. Of course Jester dosen't go outside without plenty of sunscreen, fly spray, and his fly mask on!
But yes, that is what Jester usually looks like! Ya'll only get to see him clean so I thought it would be a good idea for you to see the real Jester! I gets hard in the winter time becuase I can't give him a bath.
I usually groom him in the washracks. That is where he is in the bath and grooming pictures.
We are probably going out Sat. So I'll try to post soon after that. I may not because I will be going to camp for the week.
If you have any questions just let me know!
