[@bdradley1]

I'm taking the other benches out since they are empty and then there will be no rattling!

[@JohnFieldingUSA]

I do enjoy your videos. I don’t recognize much when your out and about but then again I haven’t lived in Monroe since the 80’s.

[@bdradley1]

Interesting John. where where were you in Monroe, where are you now?

[@JohnFieldingUSA]

We lived in a then new house development just north of Monroe- worked in Alpharetta. Almost 35 years ago. I’m in Millersburg, Ohio now. I’ve lived all over the states

[@bdradley1]

That was quite a commute, maybe not bad in the 80's but definitely not a commute you would want today! I stay away from the end of the perimeter at all cost any time of the day! I'm south of the airport off of 11, it's still rural there. I'll be back up in Millersburg 2nd week of October, I'll actually be staying at the Quality Inn Suites in Mt Hope instead of Baltic at my Amish buddy. I just want to be able to walk back and forth easily as the day progresses so I'm not stuck there or missing too much. You should stop by!

Hi Dave, been away for couple of weeks so catching up. We went to Crete for my daughters wedding so i found out what 30 odd degrees heat was like, its definitely not to be recommended. Then on getting home went down with covid for a week. You couldnt write it. The new mare certainly likes to get on with things, looking at the mares from behind she seems a lot tighter in the muscle than Jule and a slightly higher head carriage, but the more Jule does the fitter she will get, they certainly look a good pair. I like the rigs to, nice and tidy outfits. Many more horses and you will need more stables/stalls, lol. Regards Alan from the UK.

[@bdradley1]

Alan you had a go of it there for a bit, probably got sick on your travels but imagine your daughters wedding was beautiful. congratulations! Becky is leaner with longer legs and has more hitch bloodlines in her where Jule is thick and stocky, more pulling bloodlines. They do well together and looking forward to the cooler fall weather! Thank you

Hi Dave,that looked nice and peaceful.Yes l bet your bottom was sore l could see you bobbing around up there 😊 l wish someone would come up with something for them horribly flys...you can see how much its bothering the horses, it makes me uncomfortable watching them get bitten.Till the next time Dave ❤ in the high 30s c at the moment and its awful.

[@bdradley1]

Yes the flies have been a real pain this year! This weekend and the coming week is supposed to be lower temps and lower humidity so hopefully the start of fall is coming! I can't wait and I know the girls will be happy!
