Horses..........

The damn horses ripped the t-posts and wire from around the tree we planted to add shade. Then... they ate it...... they have grassy pastures plus this dry lot with a round bale of hay. Arrghhh...

Spring is Here!!!

Spring is here! Although green pastures help reduce the need to purchase expensive hay, a horse needs to be transitioned slowly. They should be allowed to graze for an hour or so initially. Adding grazing time slowly (an hour or two each day) will reduce the impact the change in diet has on their gut and will decrease the risk of colic or founder. If restricting the actual grazing time is unfeasible, using a grazing muzzle can be the next best thingJ. Happy grazing!!!  

Bobbing for Apples

Horses had a blast bobbing for apples today. They have been bored because I have their far pasture closed because of all of the rain. It is a soggy mess up there. So.... I gave them something to do today. They spent HOURS bobbing:).
