A rainy day, but we got the horses settled in and the dogs out to my brother’s house. Our new front yard actually looks over the neighbors house, but here’s a pic of the other side, which is Onion Creek Ranch. Lin pointed out that she thought our horses looked a bit thin, and when we looked more closely, we had to agree. When we left, they were more fit than they had been last year, but they were still a bit overweight, so when we saw them trimming down, we were glad about it, but it seems we went a bit too far. They still look big compared to so many other horses we see on the tra
il, so it’s not surprising it took an expert like Lin to recognize it immediately. So we took a trip to the feed store to get several remedies, doubled their rations, and, since we won’t be riding for a while, expect they’ll fatten up again quickly. Eating has never been a problem for either of these two!
