Snow Snow and More Snow- Happy Birthday to all Leap Year Babies

Well today was a great day to start out. Everyone was happy to get outside, munching on their haypiles till the snow started.
I think my horses become this sudden prima donna and they freak if there coats get wet, let alone snow on it.

I tried without vail to keep them outside, they fussed and paced the fence lines and called till they once again pulled my heart strings and won their way back into the barn.

Stalls not done, they did not care, just "Get me Inside- NOW!!"
They were confused when I came back and turned them out in their groups of two, so that I could get their stalls done.
Wonder and Joey were the best of the bunch, though Star went out with Angel and when called back in he decided that he wanted to stay outside not realizing that hay was in his fresh stall.
Once realized he was much happier to stay inside.

Misty one of our Adoptive horses and is boarderd here is the funniest. When it is clean out and fresh shavings and pellets added to her stall. I just wait for the moment of bringing her in.
You bring her in and start to count- 1-2-3 and down she goes, rolling and just loving it. You would think that she was just in love with fresh shavings. She is a Hoot!!

Hence though with all not many stalls got cleaned today. Hopefully the snow will relent and let them out to play tomorrow. Snow or no snow OUTSIDE. :))
ROb will be off to pick up the load f shavings and pellets and fresh stalls shall be for 2 weeks to come.
Adding pellets to the barn has been wonderful and have made things easier for cleaning. Just wish that my arms agreed with that statement.
This water issue does have to be fixed, having a hose explode in your face 2 days in a row, just does not do. Though thankful that it was not as cold and my face,coat and pants did not freeze me solid.
But having the kids suck up the warm water makes up for it.
Well it is late and need to sleep, have friends coming tomorrow to visit and help out.
So better get to sleep and be bright and bushytailed for the day.

Picture of our New Little One

Well he needs a name...

I hope these pictures come up for all to see how CUTE he is.

Our Day in a Nut Shell 02/28/08

Well I am not sure to say how the day went today.
I think I should have stayed in bed and tried again.
Other then the fact that it is FREEZING outside, the kids seem none the worse for the wear.
As usual knickers greet me when I arrive in the barn. Pails are frozen, thank goodness for being able to have a hot water in the barn.
Everyone settled once the first flake was done, and they had their warm water.
2nd & 3rd Flakes went outside, it is a glorious day other then it s COLD!!

Well the newest addition is a very sweet little boy, though quite timid he has already started to show signs of coming arund. I cannot understand why someone would breed such a wonerful little thing.
We are thinking that he is a Fjord. Not sure if he is pure as we did not get papers with him. The others at the sale were not as lucky as he was. I think it was his mother that was in the Kill pen. We had arrived to late.

Well when it is time to bring them all in, I know why I love my kids so much. If you just open the door they all seem to find there way to their own stalls.
They are happy and so am I that they are all settled, bring out the hose and what it does is exploded in my face. Well this is great!!
Wet and now freezing as I try and fix the darn thing.
Well things are good today
Hope to have as good a day tomorrow.

Thursday Feb.28/08

Well this is a first for me. I have decided to add a blog site to the Second Chance Farm Horse Rescue site.
THis is a place where you can come and learn about what we do and what happens on the farm.

Please enjoy the stories that I will share about our 4-legged kids and family.
So can be funny, some might be sad, and some can make us all angry.

Thank you
Elsa
