A Change In The Weather?

Yep!  Sunshine all day long.  Started out pretty cold but ended up at around 28 degrees.  Other than going to Wegmans, my day was very quiet and all about the horses.....again.

Little Wonder had to squint, it was so bright when we finished morning chores.

Gary went out for coffee.  Scott stopped up and we chatted for quite awhile.....a nap....then to the store.

Chores at 5:30.  Buddy ok and Rebel still favoring his front right.  I will redo his wrap tomorrow and see if there are any signs of an abscess breaking.

It was still light when I walked back to the house.  Nice!

We had huge chicken Cesar salads for dinner.  So good.

Night all.

 

Ball in the House

My morning started with 5 more inches of snow and I shoveled a path from the house to the barn. The saga continues with Rebel, but Buddy seems ok.

A couple days ago I put some old hay down in case there was ice and today it was a pain in the butt clearing a path.

I also cleared another one where the horses walk to the water trough.

They don't seem to like the hay I was feeding and left a lot.

Of course Rebel had to hobble out to the pasture and Buddy followed.

Can you believe how high the snow has piled up?

Sid likes sitting on the shelf above the heat run.

At 1 I was at the library playing bridge.  Skip and I were far from first place.

When I got back to the farm Gary and Little Wonder were taking a nap.

Chores at 5:15.  Rebel was still putting his front left forward.  How long is it going to take to get through what I think is an abscess?

Got the boys tucked in.

It was another purple night.

Leftover spags for dinner.

At 7:30 we were at the Tower Fine Arts building at the college for a concert.

This group was started 28 years ago and only one of the originals is still in it.  They are located in the Boston area and have performed in and out of the country.

Below, is the man that started Ball in the House.

What a terrific a Cappella group!

Below is an example of their sound that I found online (as I was unable to take photos or record during the performance).

A nice change.  We seldom go out at night at this time of the year.

Night all.

Cooled down this morning and the wind was back.

Buddy was moving pretty well and Rebel was just a little better (still gimpy).  I caught a video of them going to the water trough.

Eventually they made their way to the pasture...that's an improvement from yesterday.

Little Wonder was game to assist with chores morning and evening.

Jessy, our farrier, arrived at 1.  I was hoping that she could assess both horses and would be able to trim them.  Buddy went first and....success......

She left the wrap on Rebel's foot while she trimmed the others so he would have some extra support.

He also was able to be trimmed all around.  Happy number 2.

Jessy was kind enough to put a new poultice and wrap on him.  It was good to catch a break.

They were turned back out and I put them in at 5 for evening chores.  So glad they were moving around.  I have spent a lot of time worrying and am doing as much as I can to keep them comfortable.  They even have extra shavings.

Dinner at 6.  Earlier I had made a crockpot full of peppers, onions, our homemade sauce and Italian sausage.  A very light sauce....served on spags with a salad.  I was so hungry.

Night all.
