Catching Up

It's been a bit of an interesting start to the year. Actually, interesting isn't the word I'd use. More like stressful. When I went out to do chores New Years Eve, I wasn't expecting to put horses in but Rabbit and Rain were shivering so that changed that idea. So into the barn everyone went. The wind was terrible so I was fine with getting them into the barn as fast as I could.

I hadn't expected to see the new year roll in but we did. Our son got the flu and we spent the night up with him. So, not the exciting New Years party that everyone was expecting but at least we were surrounded by family.

When we got home, I let the horses out and got the stalls ready for tonight. The weatherman was saying that the temps would be -17 for the low tonight so everyone had to go in. The high tomorrow is -2 so it's going to be a rough morning. I cant' remember what the low is for Thursday night but I know it's below zero.

The problem is, the weather is supposed to warm up for the weekend and then we'll get another arctic cold front come through and we'll be super cold Monday into Tuesday. So far it's supposed to be the coldest weather so far this winter. Not something I'm looking forward to AT ALL.

I missed out doing a cheat sheet last year with all the commotion of hospital stays and all that. So hopefully I can do a cheat sheet of everyone in the Sanctuary along with pictures. I also want to feature a horse a month so you get to know each of the horses a bit more. I'll probably try and do another write up to sum up 2013. For the Sanctuary, it was amazing and fun. Personally, scary as H. E. double hockey sticks! But I'll probably ramble about that later. Hopefully this year I'll be able to post a little bit more than 2013. We'll see.

Here's to hoping that the Year of the Horse is a good one for the Sanctuary!
