Difficult time of year when grass stops growing and you need depend on transporters importing in quality hay (at $43 a bale- three string orchard/ $31 bale two string alfalfa/ $28 bale 2 string orchard). Some frost this morning with a low of 28 degrees and ice in buckets. Warmed up enough by late morning to remove blankets and give horses a chance to roll in the sand. 🥹
Featured is the yearling- soon to be 2 years old- wb filly and Major who is in his late 20s. He has no idea he is old- and runs around when the others decide to spook at nothing and get each other going. He's the babysitter and gets paid in several soft chew peppermints for his services. He comes out of the gate and immediately stops next to me for payment in full.
