Amazing what you have there! Look at all that love. What a great stable too. Love the pavers in da middle, under those big white fluff balls.

That mare is NOT Reenie. Reenie is always laying stretched out and snoring!
But hey, awake, she's a really pretty lady!

I used to have a lovely clean alley floor. Swept daily - I could even use a leaf blower to clear the floors.

Now it’s covered with chicken poop! I put rubber mats down so I could scape the poop off easier, every night I scape the 30’ x 10’ alleyway and sweep up the crud, ewwwww!

And when it freezes to the mats and the floor….


Soon it will be Spring and I can hose down the floor and mats…. Soon…..

This morning it was a crisp -22C, (-8F). The horses were not impressed to go out in the cold!

It’s now -5C (23F), and lovely sunshine. I see the horses are sunbathing.

She loves her sleep! And glad one of us sleeps. She’s 25, just turned on 18th of Feb. nice girl well mannered by cribs like crazy!

Both mares hate the rain snow wind and cold, heat humidity and bugs…. Spoilt rotten brats!

It’s supposed to warm up starting tomorrow and start raining, they will be super grumpy then. And it’s supposed to warm up to the teens next week. I am taking daily photos of the melt process.
