Whew, it's not easy to give a bunch of hungry horses food! Today it was my turn to drive hay out to all the horses at the Flower Farm. And they are just so hungry. They are used to have access to hay 24/7. Because of all the rain there's now very much mud at their feeding place . So now we are driving food out to them 2 times at day, so we avoid all the mud. However, they are really hungry now, it's a bit crazy to go from food 24/7 to 2 times at day... I and many others are not satisfied... But peace be with that. I don't dwell on our long discussion.
Darkness, mud and many hungry horses are not a good mix, I'll tell you that! I was driving out with a small tractor and there was just SO muddy, so it slid around, I had absolutely no control of it. And it's not smart when some of the horses has no respect for the tractor. I was really close to run multiple horses down. I can promise you that my heart was sitting up in my throat several times. However, it seemed like the horses was amused. They jumped and galloped around me. They were probably just happy to see the food. Thankfully it ended well. All the horses were alive and they got their food :-)
