Me and my dreds

January 23, 2013

Well, as I always say, “good thing the horses don’t care what I look like!” Ya learn to put on whatever keeps ya warm when it’s 10 degrees out!

Stalagmite

January 22, 2013

It suddenly turned very cold here in NJ! This morning when I went out to feed the horses, I was greeted by a stalagmite under the water spigot! It accumulated all night drip by drip!

New round pen

January 21, 2013

We needed to section off a spot for Cartwright to live in for a couple of months (due to his injury), so we bought a round pen. Here it is all set up!

Farrier visit

January 17, 2013

Gary, the farrier, came for a visit last night to trim Centanni, Jack, Chevy and Delilah. The horses get trimmed about every 6-8 weeks in the summer and then about every 10 weeks in the winter (feet grow slower in the winter).

That’s a whole lot of rollin around!

With more rain, comes more mud. With more mud, comes more rolling!

Making sawdust

January 15, 2013

As part of our work day on Saturday, John (the amazing fence guru) showed his talents with a chainsaw as well. John is the guy who cut down my big trees over the summer. Now he’s just cutting up the pieces that are too big for me to lift. Thanks John!
