" The boys" my geldings , have been itching to get out of winter quarters for some time now, I felt for them, Johnny struggles with dry feed as the end of winter comes ,not heavy just a cough, which is resolved as soon as he can get out and rip and pick a little. The hold up has been all the snow and the water situation While I know they
can eat snow I don't ever trust that it is a way to go , colic, and so many other issues present without fresh water.Well finally we have open water in the dugouts and overnight temps are such that, the boys can get out of the paddock and see the world again. They seem to know the day I am heading out to do this and meet me at the gate ready to rip.Not too many theatrics caught on camera today . But it was sure fun to watch!
If any horse here ever tells you he is afraid to walk through a puddle, he will be lying!
Heading up to see what Martin has for them
They have spied the bale (we still feed hay out in this pen till the grass comes up)
Obligatory Johnny Handsome shot!
Stay safe my friends, spring, she is a coming , slow but steady

Hooray for Spring!!
And a triple Hooray for the obligatory Johnny Handsome shot!!
I just love seeing them have so much fun.
I turned Pepper out last night, much to her and the girls delights. The little blonde horse ran like mad and the girls were excited to see her do it. Plenty of theatrics and squeals all around.
I'm hoping to be watching the last snow fall of the year...as I type this.
They are no different than the rest of us I guess :)
C'mon spring! The boys need some green nibbles! Dare I mention that we mowed the lawn yesterday and it was 6 inches deep in places?
Ahhh Shirley!!!!
Oh such lucky boys!!! I can not put my ponies in the summer pasture yet, not because of water there is lots of that out there (like half the pasture is under water, lol) but the gate posts are broken and life got in the way so they haven't been fixed yet, which actually works for me cause I been waiting for an excuse to not move the horses in till the grass was growing cause its been kinda abused the last few years and so this works well for me.
Oh how happy your boys look to be out in the wider spaces ....hope the greeness of spring finds you soon
