No major updates, so here's a few random photos/notes from the past week. Spring might be trying to make an appearance, and the ponies' shedding definitely says the days are getting longer!
 |
| #twinning with the Pinto Party |
 |
| Tessa played in the last of the snow with her best friends. |
 |
| Pyro got a new treat dispensing toy that is.. um.. a bit phallic. He gets a lot of enjoyment out of rolling that thing around, and it's worth it to me to deal with the aftermath of a messy stall to make sure he's not a Demon Baby of Boredom. |
 |
| He enjoys his new hanging toy too, but I need to suspend it away from the wall if I'm going to give him anything other than a salt spool in it. He figured out quickly how to pin it against the wall and BITE chunks off the sweeter treat spools. He can finish one of those overnight.😬 |
 |
| Meanwhile, Missy will pull hay from her new ball, but won't lower herself to licking the molasses-flavored spool, even though she LOVES molasses. She's far too serious for that type of play. |
 |
| Both horses are shedding, and Missy "snows" in her stall daily as I try to keep the itching to a minimum. I'm fully entrenched in "come home from the stable looking like a yeti" season. |
 |
| How is there hair on the OUTSIDE of Pyro's blanket? |
 |
| His first day blanket-less, someone bit Pyro in the flank, because OF COURSE they did. (He likely asked for it.) It was ouchy for a day, but he's back to full shenanigans already. |
 |
| Both horses had a bit of a long trim cycle while I have been recovering, but I was finally up to getting them trimmed and Missy's glue-ons reset last night. I'm happy to report that even at 7 weeks with thick mud, every tab was still holding solidly. Missy feels MUCH better with balance restored to her arthritic joints. |
 |
| On the topic of full shenanigans, I tried a Busy Buddy for Pyro for the first time while trimming him. I think the side-eye says it all. (He didn't try to mouth me though.) |
 |
| Tessa staring right at my soul. |
 |
| As promised, some slightly less naked baby bunnies. |
 |
| This Rex kit is a chinchilla, the color I prefer. |
 |
| Nosies and toesies |
 |
| Some are a little more offended by my daily nest checks than others. |
Bunnies! <3 That toy, tho...lol, I want one for the boys paddock just for the neighbour gossip that I know would ensue.
ReplyDeleteLol! I can imagine the pearl clutching that might happen when they see your cob boys rolling around the Jolly Green Giant's willie. 🤣 I'm sure the boys would have a blast!
DeleteOMG those baby bunnies!! Too funny Missy won't lick the treat 😂
ReplyDeleteRight?! The girl has some pretty high standards.
DeleteOmgggg those sweet little buns!!! I luff them <3 also amazed at how much snow y’all still have on the ground - hopefully it disappears asap!!
ReplyDeleteOh! It is gone now! Those snowy pics were from last Thursday, but we had 65 degree weather yesterday! I was out in a t-shirt??!
DeleteThis post should be used to advertise the glue ons :) Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhile they have a steep learning curve and take a while to apply with the proper hoof prep/curing time, they have made a big difference in Missy's comfort over steel shoes. I'm happy to keep devoting my time to applying them.
