What is involved to do a wedding or other events.
We start with breakfast 5:30 am, the boys are wide a wake and ready to eat. They are fed
hay first which is a timothy, alfalfa mix, then we mix the their food, 2 quarts oats, electrolytes,
Vitamin E and selenium, and Ultimate Finish,and Beet pulp, by now they are banging dishes, after their grain
we make sure they have water. Mike and Pat will drink as much as 50 gallons a day.
Now its my turn, by the time I get my breakfast down its time to hook up trucks and load carriages, batteries, poles,
brushes, conditioner, clothes, diaper bags, lines and bridles. Most of the time we are getting
2 trucks ready, Susie will go one way and I'm going another.
Depending on what time we need to be
there we may start the night before, everything is loaded and now its most likely 9 am and we still
need to wash horses. That's right warm water and head and shoulders shampoo for the boys, leaves them
smelling a little less horsey and not to mention soft and easy to comb main and tails, scrap them off
and spray on the healthy hair conditioner, this not only makes the hair shine and condition them,
but helps keep the flies away. This takes about an hour to wash 2 horses and we cant forget the hoof dressing
it helps keep the horses feet from drying out on the hot blacktop.
Now for the harnesses, some times if its not to far to go we will harness at home before we leave
in case of poor parking, and not to much room to work, with the trucks hooked to the trailers we are
about 45 ft long that takes a big lot to get around in.
Well its got to be about 10:30 or so and we are ready to go, don't forget the direction, cell phone #'s,
and the names of who we are picking up. Lets say the ride takes place an hour away and we arrive about 12 o'clock.
For the next hour we will get horses out, assemble carriages, and start to clean them, yeah that's right
when we get there the carriages and harnesses get cleaned and conditioned, and horses brushed before we
start, and Susie will also spend time doing a maine roll and ribbons to the horses, we don't do Mike and
Pat they are not thrilled to have their maine's done up.
I think we are ready for that 2 o'clock event
oh wait, I got to change clothes yet, Top hat and Tails, tie and boots, ok now I'm ready. We are early as
usual and the bride is late, we finally get started take the bride to the ceremony, 1/2
hour ceremony, short ride around the block, back in church for pictures, 1 hr later we are on our way
to the hall, 1/2 hr ride bride and groom reach the hall and back to the trailer or if its along ride I
will have help and they will drive the truck to another location to pack up, everything is loaded
and now its about 4pm, I forgot we didn't have lunch yet so I guess we will stop some where on the way home.
Well we made it home lets get the horses off the trailers we need to wash harnesses and rinse off the
horses, I don't know about you but I'm slowing down about now and its only 7pm, well I got to hay and
feed and water horses yet, so its about 7:30 now and I am headed for the chair, by the time 9pm rolls
around the eyes are heavy and the bed is not far off its only saturday we get to do this again tomorrow.
Do we work every weekend ?
We are not always booked but, we still hitch horses if we have time, we need to keep the horses exercised
so they keep good muscle tone for the next job so its not so hard on them.
