Nothing at all happens... ;~D

Honestly, I'm as much a patriot as anyone, but I really loathe the 4th of July, and have since the first time I had horses to tend.

And really, the horses do just fine with distant booms and firecrackers... but my neighbors do much more than that, big reservation fireworks and lots of them, usually. The first year when I was here without a barn I was out holding them till midnight, afraid they were going to run a fence from the next overhead bottle rocket. :~\

Now, I keep the horses inside, on heavy doses of Quietex, dogs drugged into a temporary coma, and it's not too bad... But I'll still never properly enjoy it.

Found this and thought it was a hoot. Not related to horses but thought you might enjoy!

I was thinking about the fireworks earlier. Cindy crawls under the covers. Might get crowded with Sarah Lee and Okie
