This message is from: "Reena Giola" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ok, FINALLY my new subscription has come through!! Yippee!!
Just to make this horse/Fjord related it is snowing again here in MI with 2-4" expected.......Gus ripped up the back of his blanket........arrrggghhhhh...I know, why in the world do I have him blanketed? Well because he was a CA horse, is older and had never experienced a long exposure to cold weather. When we moved last year, he lost a lot of weight and as we went into winter, even more. He was quite thin when we came out of winter.....I even asked on list about how to put weight on (Betsy Patyrjak can confirm the thin-ness) and he did finally gain the weight so I was hesitate to leave him to fend against the cold this winter. Anyhoo, I did leave the blanket off till we hit a nice cold snap in mid december and well, it just never went back to normal...........soooooo, if I had my druthers and had him home, I could regulate and adjust things myself to make sure I felt he was staying at an adequate weight. But as things go, he is boarded, and I don't have that type of control/or extent of control....I have already posted about the freezing water tanks, and thank GOODNESS I am an anal and concerned boarder cause I was out there twice in one month cracking open 3" of frozen ice on the tanks.....the heater/floats were upside down. ok, longwinded I know, just excited to FINALLY get off of the digest!!
