You are really making progress on the house with the lathe removal... Looking promising.
Nice sunset and love to see the kids having fun/working together....

Progress on the farmhouse

Getting there, especially with getting all the LATH off
Hopefully you've not found any structural problems.

Those are some of the only real 2x4's that I've seen in a long time.

Great going on the house.

Sell the pony. Bad attitude is nothing you need with all you are doing. And while you might be able to retrain it, there is no guarantee it will behave for the kids - just for you. Hiring a trainer may be an option, but why spend the money if you need it for the house? Same problem with having the trainer work with it. Unless the rider is experienced there is no guarantee that the pony will be a good ride for kids. Sell this pony and get another child safe pony for the kids.

It already threw you and you could have been badly injured. Even a broken arm or leg is bad with as much as you have to deal with, next time it could be worse. Bad attitude is nothing to fool around with in a kid's pony or horse.

Unless this is a fabulous show horse worse spending a lot of training $$$ on, don't waste the money on the trainer, cut your losses and get a gently pony for the kids. There are a lot of good horses and ponies out there already trained.

Forgot to say too, if he has ulcers that is a vet bill you don't need either. And bad ground manners! Bye Bye!

So photos from this week. Jocelyn riding in her new saddle. Some bunnies. They’re growing fast! And Mr Lightning. He is calming down a bit. The trainer whose barn we are going to for lesson will evaluate him after we get his back checked. Give him some time knowing his history. Jocelyn will use my Richie right
I wish I knew why some of the photos are sideways

Computers are not known as "Alien Intelligence" for nothing!
They secretly are in league to rule the world with us as their slaves. Mine often deletes complete pages that I have spent hours typing. Changes spellings to embarrassing faux pas, hides photos and documents that I know are in there somewhere, and is probably conspiring against me with other computers in the household.

Work we got done at the farm these past few days. I am tired.

New bunnies born Monday, a small litter but they are healthy.
