Preparing for the Storm

In preparation for this massive storm (so the weathermen keep reporting), I took some extra time last night to get stalls ready. There's still a little bit of work to be done tonight to ensure that everyone is tucked away safe and sound. But the majority of the work is done.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it won't be as bad as they keep predicting. I keep thinking of all those horses out there stuck in this storm. Maybe I just like to pamper my "kids" a little bit but I do want to make sure they are fat and happy. And by the looks of them, they MUST be happy because they are FAT!

We ran in to TSC earlier this week since I'm running low on beet pulp. Just my luck TSC is out and won't get any until sometime next week. So I'm trying to come up with a different grain mash concoction for Sam. He has picked up a bit of weight but I want him to have more. I guess from now on I'll pick up more than one bag at a time of beet pulp!

I'm sort of hoping that the weather will be bad enough that they will close down work. I don't want to kick the horses out first thing in the morning. It's always so hard on them to take them out of their nice dry stalls and put them into cold, dark, wet pasture.

Maybe over Christmas I'll be able to post some more pictures. I keep meaning to blog about all our hay adventures. I have pics to prove they are adventures too! Until then I guess I'll keep an eye to the sky and wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Hope Santa makes a stop at your barn to give your horses a christmas present.
