Well winter cometh!!! The first snow of the season fell today, and it was not just a few flurries but enough to settle on the horses and llamas as you can see from these pictures. I actually enjoy the snow..there are some challenges with snow and horses but there is lots of things about the snow I enjoy too. It is beautiful....the horses like to run in it....no bugs....no thrush....lol I have just always loved the snow from when I was a little kid.
Phoenix did not mind the snow one little bit...she just kept on eating. Buckleberry ran for the shelter at the first snowflake :) He really prefers the indoors to the outdoors.
Cricket, Misty and Ace just stood together and basically had a nap! I will be putting a blanket on Misty in the next day or two because she is thinner and pregnant and I do not want her to use up all her energy on keeping warm this winter. Plus she is not one who likes to go in the shelter, she seems to feel too confined.
Hehehehe, Ebony likes the snow, but did not enjoy the wind blowing it into her ears! She and her brother were very frisky when the snow first started, they jumped and played in it. Then Ebony decided she had enough and settled down for a rest by the hay.
It was quite a bit of snow for the first snow of the season, as in it did not melt as soon as it hit the ground....or animals. In other news, Misty and Ace (and the llamas) are now drinking out of the water tub (THANK GOODNESS). Phoenix and Buckleberry have been breaking the ice in the small pond and drinking from that....it will not last long though, soon the 'pond' will dry up and or freeze up and they will have to deal with the water tubs instead.

Ebony looks so sweet. I guess it is going to be a long winter.
