Blue and Rifle with Phoenix.
They spent most of their day outside eating. But Blue and Rifle ended up inside early today.
Bugs…Don’t like them…
They would rather congregate in the arena than stay out where the flies are biting. 🤷♀️ At least they did spend most of the day out back until it got too hot for them. ❤️
Loving life
You can tell which are the older horses and which are the younger…
😂😂😂
Girls just a wanna have fu…un…
Charlie goes walking out like … dum de dum… Then sees the gate open! Woohoo!
Sooo excited! Love happy animals!
Sprayed and killed all the weeds a half a dozen times. 😂 Also rolled the ground so it’s not as choppy.
Now we are over seeding with pasture mix. The back pasture is going to make for some very happy horses!
All done in about a months time of keeping them in the dry lot. They play in the indoor and can stay out.
We also can use the front turn out that still has grass as well.
A little bit of time off of the grass, and the rest of the year they have grass and can play outside. Love it. I want them to have actual grass. Not round bales of hay. Call it a pet peeve of mine.
Charlie and Cecil enjoying some time together today. Sorry about the microphone. It’s been getting like that. Just turn off the sound. I love it when they scratch each others backs. So cute!
Girls girls girls! And of course Cecil 😂❤️
Spec seems to REALLY like this corner 😂🤷♀️
Loving life… A bit muddy 😂
My boys said it’s time to come in… I hear the dump truck and it frightens me 😂😂😂
Girls and Cici
Not the best video I’ve taken. 🤷♀️🙄
Spec is such a sweet “boss man”
😂😂😂
He warns more than actually making contact. Such a perfect gentleman to be the leader.
Happy horses
Very happy horses today. It dried out enough to not be mushy. Still mud, but at least not mush.
They’re all getting along famously with Goldie. First time out in the back pasture together since Goldie got here, as they’ve been going out in the dry lot a few at a time. HAPPY DAY!!!
Sweet Mo
Mo playing with the other OTTBs He gets along with all of them. Such a good boy. And Spec (the boss) controls them without ever picking up a hoof. Goldie (the “new guy”) is just standing there at the fence quiet as a church mouse. And he’s only FIVE!!! And literally right off the track! Another good boy. I’m telling you thoroughbreds get a bad rap.
❤️❤️❤️
Look at that 28 year old mare go!!! The mares (and Cici) had a blast today out there. ❤️
The geldings played and played yesterday. Love it! Today is mares day! I’d rather they go out all day every other day switching mares and geldings, than a couple hours a day. They need more time out. And it’s easier to make sure they get out for the day this way. It would be nice to put them ALL out every single day, but there are a couple geldings that REALLY like the mares and cause trouble. Horsey drama.
It’s hard to believe that Rifle (the paint) is over 30 years old and that several horses are in their late 20’s I’m so glad they’re here so that I can take care of them and keep them as happy and healthy as humanly possible.
❤️❤️❤️
OMG the ears!!! So darn cute! Every time Storm moved her little Morgan ears the antlers moved with them and we laughed. Adorable!
