The weather is starting to turn chilly. The horses have their blankets on and are staring at me as they know they are about to be fed. I made them pose for me first! Laramie is still a bully to the other horses when it is time to eat but very friendly to me when they know mine or Kathy's is the hand that feeds him. We have worked out a routine that keeps the bullying down and all of them are able to eat their dinner without a fight. They are great horses and easy to handle if you take the food out of the equation. We give them apples about every three to four days. They get a couple of carrots each every night along with their kibble treats. They sure do look forward to their nightly treats. They are trying to graze but still getting hay in the morning and evening.
Cassie and Sunny seem different without Ruggles. I guess we all just miss her. Kathy has been there with them and we have discussed a routine with them as well. We are hesitant to let them out after dark so each of us make sure we go out with them at all times. We never want to experience that feeling of helplessness with the coyotes that we experienced when Cassie was a pup. The coyotes have been out in the evenings and mornings, but we haven't noticed a lot of them. No other critters have shown themselves since we have been there this time. Everything on the farm is quiet. We are envious of that sunshine their Mommy and Daddy are enjoying!
