Well, it's winter turn-out time, which means the horses are out all day and in all night. It's getting colder and the volunteers are gearing up for winter blanket season. As anyone who owns a horse knows, it takes extra time to put a blanket on or take it off. I noticed that the winter blankets were out next to every stall and hanging over the fences next to the pasture horses. There is a nip in the morning air.
Much has been going on at the Rescue this Fall. We just finished our first ever motorcycle Ride for the Horses poker run and our annual Hay Day festival which brought tons of people out to the barn. There were all kinds of activities for families, and many people showed up on that beautiful Fall Sunday to participate. It also brought in much needed funds to help with food and supplies. Thanks to all who showed up. We're also preparing for some upcoming holiday events in December.
The volunteers also chipped in for large, round bales of hay for the pastures. The horses all think they're in Horse Heaven, munching all day till their hearts content. It's really something to watch the horses gather round one of these big bales, their heads deep in the hay! All you see are necks and legs, pretty funny !
