Let the winds blow!

Well until just recently we really did not have much winter to speak of but the last few days have made up for that and the weather man is saying that there is some more unsettled weather coming from Edmonton way.....great.

Looking at the condition of the horses I think that they wintered the best this year. Not alot of crested necks which is such a concern. We took our most at risk horses and put them in a "fat pen" this winter so that we could ration their feed and keep their weight down....seems to be working. Soon we will have to separate out the geldings and figure out which horses will be re-bred this year and get them all together so that all we have to do is put the stallion out.

Kid had a blast last year as it was the first year that we pasture bred with him and this year he has two mares as company for the winter and he seems so much happier. Keeping a stallion is quite difficult because they can't just run with anybody and they will try fences if there is something that they want on the other side no matter the risk.

I have to say that Kid is not like any other stallion that I have ever known and other than prancing and showing off for the ladies (but very respectfully) you would never know, not bitey or fighty at all.
