i was feeling guilty about not doing anything with the horses today until i went out on the porch and saw my thermometer said 109. It was so hot i didnt even want to walk out and run the hose so the ones who wanted could come cool off. Then in a half hour it was a100 degrees and cloudy and then a terrible sudden storm came in and it rained and cooled everything off. Man, these horses sure know how to work things! They discovered Jaspar's special alfalfa hay bales in the back of my husbands truck and when we ran them off they had a huge dramatic skirmish and we waved our arms and ran them off, turned around and there is nasi and curls innocently eating away. Ran them off and there is fox and trausti innocently eating away. Put them up and came back and ... well, you know the rest, they ate half a bale among them all. but interesting when it was 109 they just meandered eating grass, all sweaty, then when it cooled off and clouded up they started getting into things, playing tag, getting into the alfalfa etc. little scamp turtleheads.
