With one day of sleet/rain/icky stuff thrown in for good measure! It snowed pretty much all day yesterday. I was surprised (pleasantly) that the horses got turned out. The am and pm groups each got about two hours apiece, which is plenty for most of them since they get freaked by inclement weather. Pampered ponies! Dude and Bestie's turnout sheets had soaked through in the snow and had been hung by a kind soul on their stall doors. The funny thing was that when I arrived, it was so cold that the sheets had both frozen into solid lumps of folds! Luckily I had extra turnouts and midweights to put on them.
Didn't do much with them. Katie is out of town with a friend so I was working alone. Handwalked both D & B, so they each got a leisurely roll in the arena footing, which they love, then made them bran mash, which both slurped down with great gusto. With it being blanket time, they both get so itchy and love to roll. I feel like I'm constantly currying off arena dust!
Tonight with the wind chill it is supposed to be sub zero. Then up into the 30s on Wednesday and Thursday! Crazy. At least it looks as though the snow will stick around for Christmas. I bought some treats to bag up for our barn friends, along with sample sizes of Sore No More. The barn looks cute with stockings on a few of the stall doors.
