Yesterday was another glorious 60 degree day...
one that made me long for gardening.
Having the day off from farm chores,
(thanks Jim!)
gave me the opportunity to get caught up with a few routine maintenance items...
like trimming hooves (on all 5 equines).
I worked from littlest to biggest....
trimming hooves....
with the necessary supervision, of course....
clipping bridle paths....
and grooming manes and tales...
The mini's had a "butt bath", as a bout of diarrhea had left them both a mess.
Four hours later, the two minis and two ponies were beautiful.
Donnie was quite proud of himself and took the opportunity to pose...
(oh my, what a chubby belly!)
Moonbeam needed little care as I have been keeping after him
thanks to our frequent riding.
I tacked him up and went for another ride.
(By the way, he is the perfect horse for making one's behind look small....
as his is quite large!)
While the horses and I were occupied,
the pigs spent several hours outside in the warm sun.
But as always, they are quite happy to return to the barn for a meal!
I stopped to visit the goats and give them a Ritz cracker treat.
I know this glorious Spring-like weather is just a tease,
but, I have to say....
I sure am enjoying the warmth!
Hope wherever you are...
you are getting a taste of Spring, too!!

Their favorite treat in all the world...
And as you can see, the turkeys are always with me!
PS...they love Ritz, too, and try their best to steal them out of my hand...
sometimes grabbing a finger instead!
