Dec. 26. Winddancer and Kiowa trotting through the snow !



We hope you all had a very lovely Holiday weekend !

On Saturday we went out to fix the fence on our West pasture. We were able to drive the truck on the North pasture, feeding the horses hay, then had to walk all along the fence. We built a campfire to warm up and I was glad I could dry my winter boot a bit, since it got stuck in the snow. After three hours of work, we went to open the gate for the horses and in this photo Winddancer and Kiowa are trotting happily into the new pasture. At some spots quite a bit of snow, but on top of the hills, they will get easily to the fall grass. They love to dig for grass, they actually still had some hay on the North pasture, but eagerly waited for us to open the gate. True wild horse instinct? They come near the house for water, mineral block and sometimes grain, so we'll still see them often. But when they are on the West pasture they are pretty much on their own, independent and free.
