There's a stud who has his own pen, then a mare and two geldings who have a very large pasture - maybe 20 acres? It's mostly sand with some rocks, with sagebrush and scrubby junipers (I think). Capped T-posts, horse-safe mesh wire with a hotwire on top. A big run-in shelter for them to get out of the sun if they want. <br /><br />Everybody gets hay twice a day - mixed grass in the morning and alfalfa at night, plus some LMF ration balancer stuff. The horses look AMAZING. Two are paints, and they are whiter than you can possibly imagine. Everybody's in great flesh. All are barefoot, and their hooves look fantastic. Once a week they get psyllium sand-clear stuff.Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-44160229531155477752009-09-16T16:24:55.408-07:002009-09-16T16:24:55.408-07:00Wow, I hope everything went well!

I was wondering when she'd be joining you, and what she'll think of her new surroundings. :)<br /><br />What is the boarding like?Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665794050418919719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-60492432703750681092009-09-16T13:42:44.327-07:002009-09-16T13:42:44.327-07:00Did Dixie get here okay yesterday?
