It's time for a little Spring Cleaning and maintenance around here. We started with the horses.
The dreaded, dreadful, dreadlocks. This is even after I had worked on her for a small eternity. Every Spring it's like this. Polly was very patient and gave me a horsey thank you afterwards. Then she and Little Joe found the closest mud and rolled. So much for 'Thank you'! Pampered, stabled, delicate, parlor-mannered equine they aint, errr aren't.
A manicure (and pedicure) badly needed. . . .
. . . . And here's the man to do it.
First Spring Ride. I've not saddled my own pony since we were married. My gentleman cowboy, Jay, always does it for me. THAT's why I married him for sure. OKAY, AND I like his boots and hat and wranglers.
The under pinnings of a horse.
An emery board will not do.
Check out that rapid head movement! Life must be a blur to a hen.
Interesting creatures are chickens. Such beautiful plumage and fluffiness - but then there are their legs and faces that just don't seem to belong to the same animal.
