Halter Hunting

This is the sight that greeted me this afternoon- a NAKED horse! Star is notorious for pulling things off of herself; halters are easy for her, but she is also very good at pulling off shoes. Which really stinks, because I wish I could keep shoes on her- she's so tender footed that I think shoes would really help matters.

But anyway- the missing halter. The dogs thought that "fetch the halter" was the funnest game ever (you know, aside from playing "crawl around in the hay") despite the freezing temperatures. Star and the cows over in the next lot also seemed to enjoy watching me trudge along the fence line (shivering!) in search of the halter.

But, after 45 minutes or so of halter hunting, throwing out some hay, feeding some peppermints and refilling the water trough, my old horse was pretty content.

And I was freezing cold and exhausted! Who else is excited for springtime???
