So it's finally raining here - I haven't updated because things are status quo of sorts - we just keep working on lunging and manners. Like getting used to clippers, dealing with being rinsed off, that kind of thing.
It started raining yesterday at 12:15 - both girls spooked at first like they didn't know what rain was! Then they settled in, and were in their stalls when I came back to feed dinner.
This morning it wasn't too bad - both girls were wet but outside. Tonight, however, was another freaking story. Both girls were bunched in one stall, happily munching hay. Their paddock is under water. Sigh Luckily it's not the entire paddock, but neither really want to go out there.
So I load them down with hay in both stalls, but I don't lock them in. While both are really good about being stalled, I haven't gotten them used to being in for any extended time. So before I keep them in all night, I want to gradually build it up. Besides, if they are going to stay in anyway, no reason to confine them.
We'll have to see how things look tomorrow morning. It's been raining non stop all day, with no end in sight. Driveway to the barn was flooded tonight - no telling what I'll find in the morning. Good thing I have rubber boots!
