Rainy Day!

A steady rain all morning, causing lots of mud, frisky horses but much cooler temperatures...

Rain clouds gathering over Okay Corral...


More clouds before the rain began...


Little Florecita is getting bigger, she can now see over the fence!


The dog pack greeted Ed...


A soggy Breakfast Club...


Margarita and Tamale...


Cute Calamity...


The rains began at Okay Corral...


It even made the water buckets overflow!


Zoolander and Hawkeye in their Medical Unit in the "Horsepital"...


Aztec tried to stay dry under CityCenter...


Inca...


Big Pasture. To help save money on feed, we are feeding with big hay bales now so the guys make big piles all over the pasture...


More Big Pasture...


Okay Corral. The big piles enable the horses to free feed on hay all day...



Wet horses in Okay Corral...


More wet horses!

So, What Did Florecita Do Today?

Thursday

Hot, hot, hot!

Sandi showed off her newest Tropical line of specialized fly masks that she made for the Shiloh Horses! The yellow fringe is unraveled baling twine which keeps flies off of noses and mouths. She even used fabric softener on the twine so that it is nice and soft on the horses muzzles. Awesome Sandi!


She repaired a few other masks for us. Spartacus "helped"...


Meanwhile, Godspeed stood in the cool spray from a leaking automatic water float...


Sally got up close and personal with Florecita...


But only after we cleaned off her dirty rear end!


Mojo supervised and knocked over the bucket...



It was busy under CityCenter, it's the coolest spot on the ranch...


Showbiz, now renamed Sansa, had her feet done while her adopter, Sarah, watched...


Our new Super Gummie pen- we moved horses around and have made the Saloon the Super Gummies. I guess it is now The Gummie Saloon! Left to right; Canyon, Gomez and Jerome...


Mojo and Jedermann...


A great day to be a cloud over the pastures! Look how beautiful!


More clouds...



Next up for the Farrier it was Robin and Charmin...


Our washing area over by the feed room. This poor washer does lots of work!


Volunteer David feed carrots while Wanderer Dynamite followed...
