I fed my finger to a horse this weekend! I am lucky, it could have been worse, but it is really really hurts and it's not allowing me to do chores and type correctly!
[quote="ivoryhoofranch"]What do you do with the horses in that kind of weather? I know thats a silly question but I just don't get it. I had to take our lease horse to my sisters house today in the wind and bad weather we had a head wind coming from the south and what a mess! We are spoiled![/quote
The horses manage pretty well. Up at this altitude they really do get a winter coat. Today was cold but not bitter. If you got out of the wind it was warm actually. I had a pair of light coveralls but no coat. I spent my afternoon in the timber cutting a load of firewood. A lot less wind in the trees. My pasture horses usuallu hang around the trees when it blows hard.
I guess it is what they are used too! Our Big Paint, Charlie barely has a winter coat because he is from Idaho. I myself am freezing here right now but I do know what around the corner in about 16 weeks we will be in the 100's I dread that!
