You have a shelter silly!


Hey Salty, Freedom, and Sir Darby what are you doing standing in the pasture? The DOR had a shelter built especially for you, not for me the king of bling, but for her favorite geriatric horses. What do you do? Stand out in the howling wind letting the breeze blow up your skirts.
Freedom will eat in the shelter, only because his mush tub is in it. He will wander in and out of it when he is tucked in the paddock at night. Salty will go in and eat his treats and then leave. He will stand beside it and use it as a wind break, but he really doesn't use it much. Sir Darby does exactly what you see him doing. He stands 10 feet from the entrance and charges carrots for toll to any horse that wants to enter. He isn't making many carrots because no one wants in.
If I had that shelter I would be camping out in there all the time-after the DOR changed the color. It would be my royal chambers and I would receive visitors in a manner befitting my regalness. I would leave to tour my kingdom and return to be waited on by the DOR. I have a wind breaks and use them often. I do have barn access if needed, but I don't like barns that well because I can't come and go as I choose.
So you old farts start using that shelter or I may have to invade your pasture and take it over for myself and Shandi Doll. We all know how Freedom feels about change, so let's not force the issue.
Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR!

Hi Jack- I haven't been by in a while, but it is 10 degrees here. I think your pallies would be in the shelter with this wind! Stay warm and nuzzle your DOR.
