Shorter days and less time

Chainsaw is so smart that now all I have to do when I have a halter on him is to point to his shoulder with an index finger and he will flex and touch that shoulder with his nose.  Our mounted shooting season is over so now there will be weekends to ride and get him a little further along before the ground freezes and things grind to a crawl riding wise.  Have the farrier coming out this Saturday to remove shoes from the horses with them and trim all four horses.  That way the snow that's not gonna fall won't pack under any shoes.
