I thought I was checking enough, but apparently not and revealed two fat girls, especially Kola. Can you tell that's there's white on her somewhere?

She managed to wallow while I was sick, and unfortunately we sit on clay, so by the time I was feeling well enough to go outside and horse around, it'd dried like cement in her three inch winter coat. I fell like such a negligent mommy...and will be buying her a blanket for next winter!Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369244473889348601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926013554523279624.post-58040513592057565512008-03-13T12:16:00.000-07:002008-03-13T12:16:00.000-07:00Eeew, sand gnats!Eeew, sand gnats!Calliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704537697611988375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926013554523279624.post-17860033570612360922008-03-13T12:15:00.000-07:002008-03-13T12:15:00.000-07:00We're black dirt and clay based.

One of the Pegasus horses stomped his foot when turned him out in the pasture and splashed mud all up my legs. I can't wait till it's warm enough to totally melt the snow AND dry up the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
