Freezing My Butt Off

Holy BRRRRRRrrr!! Six below with 25 below wind chills during this morning's chores.

Figured I'd add some pics of just a couple of the horses at Borderland Horse Rescue.


Queen -- sweet Diva Queen



Skippy -- Personality Plus with a dash of ornery!

Tommy -- Shy but with a shetland personality


Babe -- blind beauty with an abundance of brains
I'll post more pics later of the big herd.
This morning's chores went rather smoothly. I found a new trick with Maverick and Brego. Hopefully the weather will warm up so I can mess with them more. It all depends on placement of Brego. Maybe I'll blog about it some other day. I'm just thrilled that it went so well. Bob is still wearing his blanket. I don't think he minded once he stepped hoof outside. Only Chaos wanted to be outside this morning. But I think that was more food driven. His stomach is an endless pit. Everyone else wanted to stay in the barn, even Dude.
The weatherman is calling for another cold night (-4) so I'm guessing I'll be putting everyone back into the barn. If there's no wind, Maverick and Brego will stay out. Their boxstalls don't stay warm at all. I only use those box stalls to get them out of the wind and rain/snow.
But then again, it is South Dakota and when is there no wind?
