Well we had a very interesting start to our New Year, a big blizzard hit us hard later that evening, probably around 10:30pm-11:30pm. In a short amount of time there was quite a bit of snow accumulating not to mention the amount of snow that was being blown around the property. Luckily the worst of the weather seemed to be blocked by the trees behind our house and then hit down on the road, so it kind of skipped right over us. After feeding that night I gave Kallie her booster and she was as good as gold. Can hardly believe she is the same horse.
The next morning I plowed through the drifts that were anywhere from one foot to three feet deep. Luckily the hay wasn’t drifted in, and I was able to feed the horses without too much difficulty. There was little snow down in the paddock around the trees and the shelter, which was great! I don’t think the horses would have enjoyed plowing through big snow banks to get to their hay!
That day they did get a bit frisky and played and ran around the field some, not venturing too far from the trees though because it was still blowing like crazy out there but they seemed to be enjoying the blizzard at least. They later had some entertainment and all stood and watched as one of our neighbors tried to get down the road in his truck and ended up pretty stuck!
We didn’t end up getting plowed out until early Saturday morning; I had to hitch a ride down the road on a neighbors snowmobile!
