Great, you are getting the place! You know, we had a discussion on this list about this, maybe two years ago, when one of the mules coliced, some people were saying it is better to vary their feeding schedule. > > What happens if you go away for a weekend?

She is terrified of horses, I mean really phobic (except she's not scared of Dari:)), and at the barn I had, you had to go into the pasture to get into the barn and the hay was in the barn. She says that she started up the ladder into the loft and the horses started to come in, so she swears she told Celie that if she came in the barn nobody was going to get fed that night and Celie stopped, waited and kept the others from coming in. One advantage of boarding, even there are so many disadvantages:) Kim
