More Storms

Last night another storm blew through. With hit and miss internet, we had to rely on tv and phone calls to track the storm. I'm always nervous when a storm blows through.

We had planned to look at a horse for sale. The horse was advertised as a "rescue" horse but I didn't get the story on how it was a rescue, only that the previous owner (not the current owner) had "rescued" the horse. I have no further information on the horse.

But as the storm neared, I made a few phone calls and we opted for looking at the horse today to avoid the bad weather. I'm always nervous about looking at new horses. Of course I consider each of my horses a family memeber and can't possibly let one go.

I kept an eye to the sky as the storm came closer. Before the storm hit, we had lots of wind and thunder. I decided then that I better put Joe and Thor in the barn. Joe takes so long to eat that I figured he could devour his mash and stay dry.

Before the skies turned pitch black I went back outside to let Thor and Joe out. Joe was not impressed. Just as I was about to head in, the skies opened up again and poured. Joe tucked his head over the gate so that at least his head would stay dry. I decided he'd better go back in. So I prepared his stall and Thor's stall for the night. I think Joe was more than happy to go back into the barn. I worry about him standing in his stall since it's concrete (nothing I can do about except save for stall mats).

After I had them settled the skies stopped pouring and I grumbled to myself for having put the horses in the barn even though the storm is over. But as I was falling asleep I heard rain on the roof so I knew I made the right decision.

Joe and Thor were more than happy to get out of the barn this morning. But it felt good to know that they were safe and dry in the barn last night.

We'll see what tonight brings us.
