The march of time.... Our horses have been growing winter coat for a month. It's coming.
I for one hope we at least have a real winter this year, with snow. Later on, when there's been snow and ice on the ground for a week and I am packing water out from the house, or worse, have lost power and don't ~have~ water in the house, remind me that I said that only at your own peril ;~D
LOL...
I don't mind a little cooler tempratures, but we're suppose to have a lot of wind that is going to make it seem colder...I don't like cold wind, goes right thru you.

Thanks Beaker... this weekend, hopefully, we'll update the pics on the who's who page to include those.
Agreed on wind. It makes any weather harder to take.
I left ecurbh's horse in the stall for nearly 5 hours I think. I forgot her there. I went out around 10 am to take blankets off because it wasn't raining, and it had warmed up. I put her in the stall to take hers off and went to get the others, who I ended up unblanketing where they stood, in the paddock, and never went back to let her back out. I noticed at 3 that she wasn't with the others.
I'm like a parent that forgets her kids at the mall.
I did that one time to Rusty. I'd left him tied to the tree after a ride to cool off. About 5 hours later I went outside to leave in the truck and there he stood still saddled. Didn't hurt him, but I felt bad:)
Becky
She's such a pretty horse. She's the one that's 29yr old?
Yup. It's really hard to believe.
Well, It only went that long because she's good. If I'd have left Bay in there, he'd have called and run laps as soon as the girls went out of sight. And the pony would have kicked the gate. Apparently Cyn just stood there.
Glad she is ok. She sure looked puny in that pic. Casting is when they can't get their legs under them to get up ,right? I saw a horse like that once. He was kicking the crap out of his stall.
Yeah - if they get themselves rolled over too close to the wall, they can't get enough leverage to roll back over or get up. This pony is really flexible... I've seen her get stuck and get out of it before....
This one finally got up by himself but how do you help them if they can't?
Heh... you get five or six bystanders to grab (or tie a rope around) his legs and pull him over.
Thanks fo' the ping.
You're welcome, and welcome to the thread!
So, is Momma wearing her brace?
LOL! Funny you should ask. She told me yesterday she's bringing a walker.
Oh no she's not.
I look to see a motorized chair before then.
You know she's using them at Walmart don't you? Tell her I said I found her a handicapped horse she can ride.
