Went to my first Civil War Reenactment in many years and got back on Monday. I had a heck of a time. I remember how to do everything, but still need to learn how to move troops on the field and the finer points of tactics. Reenacting is like a big chess game. I look forward to getting back into it. I would like to train horses for cavalry, but I have a lot to learn about that as well.
Yesterday, we started some actual ranching. We dug out some usable wood from the old barn and rearranged the stalls in the horse barn. We can now feed all three of our saddle horses without having to get in amongst them and all of the stalls are now roughly the same size. We still need to do more construction in order to sustain more horses and also to feed new horses. The scrawny gray mare and her gray colt have been coming up regularly. Now that we are set up to feed them in Sarge’s stall, we are in good shape. However, another horse has started to come up. This one is a gray stallion, probably two or three. He might be a good one to break for reenacting, although he seems pretty wild still.
Tomorrow, Dad is coming with the blocking gate for the chute. If I don’t work tomorrow, I will help him put that in.
