Just wanted you all to know that it was windy in California yesterday too!
The guy from the Thoroughbred Friends blog was complaining that the hay was blowing away and and he had to put fly masks on the horses to keep their eyes free from debris. So it is not just here!
What a miserable day it was yesterday. Luckily I had help in the form of our newest barn volunteer, Chelsea. She helped us erect our windbreaks 2 weeks ago, and yesterday she was here to see them take a beating! Mother Nature sure does like to kick you in the ass when you try to slack off and not finish a job properly around here!
I purchased the windbreaks in mid September, I remember ’cause there was free shipping before October 1st. It was free shipping because apparently they came by dog sled or something, it took 2 months for them to arrive. Then of course we had to let them sit and acclimatize for a week or so, and of course by then it was cold out! Anyway way we will be finishing the anchoring process today, now they have moved over a couple of feet!
Ponies were not too happy yesterday either, they had to run to catch the hay before ti blew away. Luckily the wind will be blowing from the north just as briskly today so any hay that got away yesterday will be blown back this way today!! Hurrah!
