hehehehe....true.
I'm really bummed that my trail ride is all but cancelled now. I was really looking forward to it.
Now I'll have to wait another 2 weeks before I can go again.
HUH? I know I didn't post either one of those twice. That last one was vey strange, being separated by a different post altogether.
Oh - indeed... That's too bad. I hope their barn stays dry and the wind don't blow it down.
Thank you! Everything I know about fencing, I learned from Hair. ;~D
And you didn't even have to endure the learning curve.
I'm pretty sure their barn is made of tough stuff.
If it's just a tropical storm, there shouldn't be too much trouble outside of a muddy pasture.
Good :~D That's a relief. I'd sure hate to try to keep horses safe with the threat of hurricanes.
Most hurricane shelters won't take horses. :)
I remember after Flloyd, my supervisor - who was a horse person - was part of a convoy of horse trailers going down there to rescue horses stranded on hilltops. I think they had to swim the horses to where the trailers were.
They get them out if they can.
But we get tropical storms all of the time here, so the horses are acclimated to nasty thunderboomers.
It'd be awful... Well, I just wouldn't do it. I wouldn't live where there are such weather extremes, either hurricanes or the super deep freeze of the upper midwest. It'd just make horsekeeping such a struggle and a worry.
I can't remember what she said would be better....to have the horses in a sturdy barn or let them out so they wouldn't be trapped in a flooded barn. I guess you wouldn't want them in a flood zone to begin with, but Flloyd was so bad it flooded about a third of the state.
Heh...I don't have wide feet, but I do have flat ones. Which means...pumps generally don't work for me for long at all, leastways not anything toooo tall. I'm also really clumsy in anything without a fairly sturdy heel...and most shoes like that look very clunky. But I'll look for Naturalizers!
Some of the Naturalizer dress shoes have wedge heels that are a little more stable.
*stretch*
I'm tired, folks. See you all tomorrow!
With all the flying debris and just general nastiness (people can't even stand up in these storms for crying out loud) I'd never leave them out. I'd build a barn that could take it and would stay dry... If I was to live down there with horses.... which I wouldn't!
Yeah...that's what I think. But then again how hard is it to evacuate a flooding barn?
Need a concrete barn, with stalls on the second floor. :-)
Depends on if the storm is still blowing. None of the options are good then.
Nite nite... :-)
Exactly...
