We
had our first snowfall on Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving. It was only about 6 -7 inches but it was
enough to knock the power out. I’m glad
we have a generator for the house and one for the barn. They are small but give just enough power to
keep the heat and refrigerator and a light or two on in the house. The barn kept popping breakers but we managed
to get water buckets filled from the hose in the wash stall, because the automatic waterers weren’t working. The power finally came back on Thursday
night.
Here
are a few pictures of some very dirty horses.
I don’t know how they can still be this filthy. The minute there was
enough snow on the ground they all had a good roll for themselves so some of
this mud should have magically disappeared.
I’m sure I know what I can do to keep myself busy for the weekend if I
feel like doing lots of grooming!

Grooming: the
process by which the dirt on the horse is transferred to the groom.
Your first snow is beautiful. Love that first shot. I have learned that light colored horses have a major attraction to mud. It never fails when it comes to Abbe.
ReplyDeletethe barn looks so pretty in the snow!! and yay for mares that stay clean :)
ReplyDeleteYou come up with the best quotes. What a pain when waterer's don't work, thank goodness for backups. Your place is so pretty, complete with happy horses!!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your farm and horses in the snow! Stay warm and I hope your Thanksgiving was delightful!
ReplyDeleteThe first picture especially, and the last one could easily be Christmas cards, so beautiful. The girls stay clean because they're girls ;) The boys, on the other hand, remind me of 'Pig Pen' in the Charlie Brown comics! Hope the snow doesn't cause major disruptions for you. The weekend here is weirdly warm! Wonder when the snows are going to arrive ... Stay safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteYour place looks like a winter wonderland :) The horses are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGirls are smarter - QED!
ReplyDeleteHope everyone at your picture perfect farm had a lovely holiday. :D
I think it's hilarious that DUSTY is the one who stays NOT DUSTY a.k.a. clean. ;D The snow sure is pretty but that sucks about losing power. I hate losing power! I hope you were able to cook Thanksgiving dinner despite the snow! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos!! :)
ReplyDeleteWe had an inch or 2 that lasted 2 weeks. now we're getting rain - we're getting rain! I'm jealous of your snow (but not the power outage!), but rain is better than nothing! and oooooh our horses are ridiculously dirty! i'll have to get picture of them. :)
