The
last few days have really been cold and miserable. We’ve had a little snow, which is fine because that’s just the way it goes in January.
The part I don’t like is the wind and the ice storm that we were graced
with a few days ago and the below zero temperatures.
Yesterday
we thought it would be nice for the horses to go out a little later than usual
because it was -5 and windy. Did they
appreciate the thought? Apparently not, getting to the barn at 8 instead of
6:30 they were slightly annoyed to say the least. Blue and Grady had grabbed
everything on their doors, halters, lead ropes etc. and threw them in the aisle
to show their displeasure. The service
from their humans left a much to be desired. They were fed and let out. By the end of the day they had consumed three
bales of hay and practically rushed the gate to be brought in. Sometimes the humans do know best!
It
seems to be warming up a little though.
This morning when I brought the dogs to the groomers it was way up to 9
degrees. Honestly, I can’t wait for the
rain and warmer temps tomorrow.

You never get the pleasure of owning
a horse; you only have the pleasure of being its slave.
