The weather is warming up a bit over the next few days and since I am currently on vacation from work, I'll be taking advantage of the warmer days! Today's forecast: sunny and 36°F, tomorrow partly cloudy with a high of 40°F! These high temps leave all sorts of options for outside activities. Do you know what happens to horse poop and pee after days of below freezing temps? Poopsicles and pee slushies. The poopsicles are impossible to scoop out of the snowy paddock and the pee slushies, well, I'll let you use your imagination. I don't mind horse poop but horse pee would be better tolerated if the horses would hold it like a dog does and go pee in the pasture somewhere.
So, the things I must do over the next few days:
1) Go for a ride, first and foremost.
2) Remove the horse blankets and wash them.
3) Let the horses enjoy the sunshine without the blankets so they can roll.
4) Scoop up the (somewhat) thawed poopsicles.
5) Replace the shavings in the stalls.
6) Lastly, go for a ride!
