Fruitcakin'

All of the horses out at the barn were jazzed up by the blowing wind and cooler weather yesterday. You could hear thundering hoof beats all over the pastures and we watched as they bucked and ran everywhere. It was fun to see...but of course Curly appears to have taken it a bit too far and now has a sore leg (right rear). We think he must have slipped in a muddy spot while fruitcakin' around. Will he ever be sound again????

(Side note: "Fruitcakin'' has become a favorite word....I heard the barn manager say it yesterday and it just made me smile. So descriptive and silly! I love the imagery it creates in my mind.)

E spent some time picking Curly's hooves (found two stones), putting linament on his leg and just generally loving on her horse.


R, on the other hand, found a warm spot in the barn and curled up in the hay to play.


By the time we left, she had finger-crocheted an incredibly long yarn chain.

I love the horse barn....
