The lead rope is hilarious. Really. In a couple months you will think so too! I need to be better about portable food/carrots at water troughs.

I'm sorry I laughed out loud at the trailer panels not fitting in your truck - that is so totally something that would happen to me. Thankfully they fit in your tack room. I also laughed out loud at the image of Dixie pacing irritably all night. <br /><br />So, do you have any pictures to share??<br /><br />JillJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335372315157759668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-58587241701554170322012-03-19T15:14:04.285-07:002012-03-19T15:14:04.285-07:00That's more good things than bad, and you had ...That's more good things than bad, and you had fun to boot. <br /><br />Camping always does seem rather character building in cold weather.

Speaking of weather,we SHOULD be getting your nasty spitting snow miserableness at this time of year...Instead it's been in the 70's and 80's for a week. A WEEK! In Iowa! This hasn't happened since the 1800's.

Rose and I like to stop and graze when we can but I will plan carrots for not grassy areas, she likes those and it sounds like a good idea. <br /><br />My air mattress has also developed a slow leak but my mother has a bunch of spare ones from my grandmother's old house. I think my eventual plan is a cot but air mattresses are just so comfy. And YAY Hi-tie. Rose paces on her's too (tried it out last weekend) but its a good alternative for no trees.Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459999598962107210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-34187499735940857312012-03-18T12:08:52.362-07:002012-03-18T12:08:52.362-07:00I'm back to using enduramax.
