Sweet Sunny has an incredibly thick mane. In fact, his coat is so thick that my shedding blade only scratches the surface. Although it does help break up mud clots. It doesn't help that he LOVES rolling in mud, which includes more than dirt, if you get my drift. Yep, it's laden with horse manure. …

Minnie is down but eating well
On October 1st when I went to return Minnie to her herd mates she was down and couldn't get up. Damn! This little lady is 11 years and never been sick a day in her life. She gave us our first baby out here so without question she's my rock. I had put her in …
