A Working weekend! Lots of pics!

We ran non-stop this weekend, Jarrett had an order for Custom Saddle Bags for a motorcycle that he had to fit to the bike on Sunday so we worked on those most of the weekend, but in between we still did some fun things!   Also, please check out the links on the side bar --->  We have some stores if you need to shop for gifts! For the Zazzle store, if you see any pictures you like on here that you would like on one of the many products they have let me know and I would be happy to put it up for you!

Friday Jarrett's cousin called to have him help cut down a few trees. They took down a total of 5 road hazard trees.

Starting tree #2 


Working on the undercut. 


And falling... 


Measuring to cut the logs into millable lengths .


Loading the logs into the truck. 


Tree #3 on the way down... 


And measuring this one... 


Deuling Chainsaws on the Last ones... 


Jarrett wins!

Saturday we finally got to trim Holly's feet, they couldn't hold out any longer. She had major issues about her feet and would run backwards halfway across the yard when we first started trying to pick up her feet, but after about half an hour she was standing very nicely. She also made huge progressions in ground tying, all in all it was an excellent training day for her. She definately has a lot of issues and is very nervous and flighty about things, any sudden movements are likely to get her to try and run, as is a simple pat on the shoulder. She is very very smart though and trusting us more every time we work with her. 


I think she was trying to figure out if she was really tied to the ground! 


Before, the picture actually makes them look better.... 


And After, I couldn't quite get it round yet because of the amount of flare she had on the sides but will do them again in about 2 weeks and I should be able to get them almost back to round.  


And the transformed, relaxed Holly... Much nicer than when we started!  I think she liked her pedicure.

And Serina is still baking the baby... I'll let everyone know as soon as I know!!! We are starting to see a little more progression though, so hopefully soon!!!
