The three musketeers (Dash, Sassy, and Max) greeting students before lesson time. And puppy snuggles before leaving. Beautiful horses, snuggley puppies, and wonderful kids. That always makes for a great day.

This pedigree is something I haven't seen in a very very long time. Many who have known me since childhood remember my first horse Orben Ameer. Out of Blessing... who was Sired by Abu Alla. Orben was Sired by San El Shazamm (Mister topper and real McCoy lines)... and yes I did all that from memory. He was my "here horse crazy kid... have a horse for your 10th birthday... btw he's afraid of everything but ESPECIALLY humans) and was the start of it all. When someone reached out to me to help with this mare I said yes before I even looked at her pedigree. Imagine my shock. And happiness. Honestly she looks nothing like Orben who was alost a look-a-like of Abu Farwa. Mostly, she looks more like Fadjur. She is also terrified of everything. So much so you can see her shaking like a chihuahua when a human is even near. She is a tad underweight (was rescued from an auction by some folks with a good heart and started the process of bringing her back to a healthy weight) and has scars all across her withers, back, and hips from either extreme rain rot or extreme sunburn). She will have a long road a head of her. But I feel she will come around and be a great little mare. Welcome Little Lu!

I was hoping this video would have Bend River Ricky on it. Or the mare Star of Rapture. But it does have Rapture himself. Anyone else remember him?

I made a Ranching rookie mistake today. Special thanks to Bobbi and her whole family for running the the farm to help lug water buckets out to the horses as all out water lines are frozen! Yes even two feet under that have all frozen and no water in the barns. I've only ever had to do this once before but I've been on farms and ranches long enough to know about SUPER COOLING and not to use hot water but instead just a tad bit of warm to make sure the horses do not dive into cold water, but not so hot that it will super cool and instantly turn to ice!

How does that happen? The temp out side is so darn cold that the warm water chills so fast it forms crystals. I was asked a question about where the tubs came from and I gently tapped the bottom of the tub with my toe to indicate "well this one..." and CRRRRRRAAAAACCCCCKKKKKKKLLLLLLEE! The sound was unreal as we stood and watched all those water buckets full of warm water we just drove from the house start to instantly turn to a solid at the bottom of the tub. Luckily somehow there must have been a second temperature difference and it only affected about one to two inches of the bottotm of the tub and the horses were still able to drink off the top. Would have been wild to get a video of it.

A supercooled liquid is one in which the temperature is below its normal freezing point or suddently dropped temperature too rapidly, but the liquid has not solidified. This is because the liquid needs something to initiate the freezing process - something to encourage a number of liquid molecules to get together in a regular pattern, which they do in a crystal rather than moving freely in a liquid.

The process water undergoes to become crystals, or ice, is called nucleation. Nucelation occurs when molecules in the water clump together, forming a crystal-like nucleus. Once formed, other molecules can latch on to the nucleus. See if you can Watch this video on twitter, and if not I'll try to find another video of the process. So glad it didn't take the enter tub!!!

“How cool is my water that I left in the car overnight?? SUPERCOOLed. To the point it instantly froze when I hit it against a surface! . . ”
