Wednesday Whinnies

 

Violette: Mr. P, our farrier, came last Friday to give us hooficures. He hadn't been in a while as growth on the feet is much slower over the winter months. We were pleased to see him and to be pampered., and the weather was nice.

Ms. C said to #1 that I am the closest thing to a polar bear she sees in the winter as my coat gets so thick!



My winter coat keeps me toasty. Look how frozen the ground was!


Miss Héloise is now officially majority-owned by Ms. C but #1 likes to say that she still owns one leg!!!


Here's a fun photo. Can you see how small woofie Ollie looks next to Héloise?


After our hooficures, we of course got treat buckets! Here we are waiting patiently as Ms. C got the grain and #1 cut up the apples and carrots.


At last!



When we returned to our field, Héloise put in a complaint about the water in our trough being frozen, which was addressed promptly by Ms. C:


It's warmed up quite a bit since then, so we'll be able to add to the mud painting we've been working on in our coats!

  2. you look gorgeous with or without mud and I would like to own one of your legs. glad you are having a warm up. we are here also. of course ours like always had to go extreme and jump 40 degrees hotter. we might end up switching to AC from Heat. I wonder how the two of you would do in hot summer heat here in Florida. possibly to hot to trot. ha ha

  3. You do look very woolly, Violette! They say greys are the worst for showing mud on their coats, but Heloise seems to have done a very good job too.

  9. You two look great even if you have added a touch of brown to your coats. It's nice to get pampered once in a while.
