We had a heck of a storm last night as well. No damage, though.
I forgot to tell you guys about what happened to the paint breeder down the street from me, www.fossilgatefarms.com.
My husband was driving down our street yesterday and the owner, Gary, was down at the street doing something. Anyway, my husband stopped to talk to him for a minute and he said Gary was distraught. He got up that morning to one of his best studs laying dead in the pasture. My husband couldn't remember the name of the stud but I bet it'll be posted on his site sometime soon. He's getting an autopsy.
One of the buyers that was out last week was telling me that HYPP N/N horses are dying from heat. I don't know that I believe this, she saw it was in a study in one of the horse magazines but I've not found it anywhere.
OMG what a thing to happen. Was he struck by Lightening?
We went on a nature trail today and I got to see my first water moccason snake, not a good thing for me, I swear my heart stopped.....We had already walked for a mile and Tommy was tired, so I was giving him a piggy back and saw a snake on the side of the path right in front of me. Urgh.
We did the last mile in double quick time in 90 degree heat!
How sad for him. Was yella fella there before? I don't remember seeing him.
Very sad... Let us know if you hear what the autopsy says. We'd like to hope a healthy horse doesn't often just fall over dead :~\
