Something all us horse people feel, but it seems there is also scientific data. I think us horse people only care about the "feel" and less about the "data"

You know winter has arrived when Carl the Drake has icicles hanging from his head ❄️

After a bit of a cold(er) snap and some snow, it’s warming up today and the horses are loving it 🥰

Merrie Mae just finished rolling around like a fish out of water before coming over to say hello

4 sweet little donkey faces 🥰

They’re very cold-hardy, but if you ask them, they prefer milder temperatures with no wind!
In the winter their shelter is their favorite place to hang out. They even request that their meals be served indoors 😄

Everyone should sit in a horse’s stall and ponder life decisions.

(These horses will always be a great life decision 😊)

We’re hoping that PEMF therapy helps our sweet old girl. She’s on every supplement I can find, getting PEMF, and is closely monitored to ensure she doesn’t stay down too long.

Sweet little Merrie Mae… her favorite job is being with people. For a yearling she continues to amaze me.
There’s nothing that I’ve asked of her that she’s refused. She’s been uncertain. Sometimes scared. But she always tries.
While Sapphire, our 20 year old mare, quietly rules the herd, Merrie Mae is the overseer of it all. Gabe is often separated due to injury and she’s always right there, making sure to check in on him.
She’s a phenomenal little mare with the biggest heart ❤️.

Nighttime chores with Bear, our livestock guardian. He’s 9 months old and taller than my teenagers when he stands on his hind legs. He’s the very best dog ❤️
