12 inches since yesterday afternoon!
Horses are soaked, cold and shivering.
Me too.

I took hay bags out during the night but only Tex ate his in the pouring rain.
Warm feed is the next order.
And trying to swap and dry rain sheets ...

Jmebear and I are dealing with the loss of her leased pony, Chance. He died early Saturday morning of a ruptured blockage in his gut. Poor old man was looking pretty poorly on Friday afternoon when we came to see him at the Vet. I had a very bad feeling ...

It was 80 yesterday. It rained all night.
Waves of thunderstorms.
The temp had started falling at midnight when I went out and put rain sheets on.
5 am we had had 2 inches and temp was 40.
There was a slight break and I gave them some hay ...

We still have rain. Might go to the local monthly auction at the livestock sales barn. They have a new building there that would be a perfect tack building. Hope to get it for my saddles.
Already thinking about getting crushed stone in to sit a building ...
