Gorgeous weekend that I enjoyed greatly!

Today was actually a NICE day so we enjoyed the great outdoors for a huge chunk of the day.  Lots of pictures to upload.
First ones- Willow




Then a few of the horses.  Yes it's muddy- still.  I don't know if I can even remember a time when it wasn't muddy.  



 The horses are really liking the Himalayan salt lick 




Now even one of Heidi's legs are starting to get puffy.  I gave her some Bute and started her on the hoof supplement.  I know it's from all the mud and moisture.


Enjoyed the walk around the backyard and looking at the creek





I even went through all my baby Bunnies.

 Blitzen's litter:
 Presea's last kit

Preparing for the Temp crash and winter weather

So with continual rain it's left everything muddy and squishy only today the temps were going to fall out.  Since the ponies were drenched I opened back up their run in, but not before I put a bale of straw down to help the mud. 



 Tessa was first to come inside the run in so she got to clean up all the grass that had grown in there where they couldn't eat it all up.  

Got both girls to go inside.  Heidi's being mean about sharing so I am tempted to put up a gate in the middle so she can't kick Tessa out. 
Then the two got their rain jackets that will help them be able to dry up their fur underneath for when the temps finally hit the bottom
