The sun finally came out and gave us a break yesterday ! Which was much needed after this little cold snap we had ! Saturday Martin and a friend of ours installed a new pressure tank for the house ! what a relief not to hear the pump kick in 20 times every time we use water!
In the process though we had to turn off the water to the farm, and ,we did have one waterer give us trouble .The float froze and it would not fill!.A couple kettles of hot water fixed that !
The late in the day Dandy's new owner showed up to take him home . It went reasonable well all things considered. The footing was , well is poor , and it was dark, we actually wound up backing the trailer into he barn and building a bit of a ramp. Dandy was willing but due to the footing he got a little rattled. once we got him on comfortable footing and in the light he went right in. I think he will do well, as cold as we all were , his new owner ,maintained her composure , and patience. She did let me know he travelled well and she already loves him !
As you can see Sunday (yesterday ), was a much brighter warmer day. So of course another waterer froze up!???This one has been the bane of my existence for years , and if you don't manage it exactly right it will do this . I think we have it fixed again , but time will tell. Might be time to just bite the bullet and replace it !
Anyhow after all that I went for a little walkabout and got a few photos
The discovery of the Jolly Ball
Anyone free for a pass?
Go long Comet!

We seem to be having yet another bout of rain. weirD.
So glad Dandy has found his new Mom, and arrived safe and sound. Whew!
worry wart out.
Sure does look like a lovely day; about time- you've been in the deep freeze long enough! The boyz are cute with the jolly ball.
I think that's the first photo of Phoenix I've seen where you can see both his pretty blue eyes.
Nicole,I have 2 cameras , my point and shoot is a Panasonic Lumix DMCTZ4 (love love love that camera, they don't make them any more ,they make a similar one , but I lucked out when this one was acting up , and got a brand new one off Ebay dirt cheap, so I have a spare! yay , because the replacement model is double the price)My Other camera is a Canon Rebel T2i still getting used to it , I did use it for these shots but I have to think about it to take it out with me . The Lumix is always in my pocket .
And Shirley , that is the result of stealth photography! I snuck way around back then popped up like a gopher and called him
Just got caught up with you. Glad you are out of the deep freeze. Love the shots of the horses. Tex is like your Mare was, do and go anywhere that he was asked.I never thought about some of the things I asked him to do...scary. I look forward to your second book...I'm still wanting to order a calender...how do I do that ? should I e-mail you?
Farewell Dandy! You'll be missed. Enjoy your new home.

Its so nice to know they have a good home! Glad Dandy found a wonderful person!!
On another note! our well pump quit today ;o/ going to get someone out tomorrow and see whats going on.
She's already sitting (riding?) him?
What an awesome colt!! I sure missed out on that deal, but I think Dandy got the wayyy better end of the bargain!!
Lovely photos and so nice to see the horses in the sun and snow ....fantastic to see Dandy being a good boy....well bred for sure!!!
Wow, amazing how quick one can break a colt, without any drama, isn't it..
Dandy has landed in horse heaven, with his own girl to love on him!
Thank you, Breanna, for letting us see the two of you together!
What a beautiful picture of happiness!
I always love the great appy pictures you share. I have an award to share with you, come pick it up at my blog.
Glad you got to see the sun! No matter the temp, the sun always seems to warm things up! (Water 'issues' are my least favorite thigs about our winter climate! So far, this year...so good!)
trusty old blow dryer did the trick on the waterer! I have had that thing 20 yrs and it has been in the barn for 18!
