The horses and Princess are treated to some small bales of hay with a little tasty alfalfa when it is very cold, this in addition to their free choice supply of large bales in the feeders at the background. A couple of days left and they will be refilled, hopefully at a little warmer temperatures for the tractor operator (Bob) and gate/twine handler (me). I have to hurry when I give them their hot mash suppers every day so that they are still warm when they get into their stalls to eat it. Not a bad life for a horse in the winter!
Although the horses are fluffed up and not shivering at all, George (left) and Ivan (right) snuggle together for maximum warmth. It appears that they feel we are being too frugal with the heat?
