Muddy Monday ~ Round Two!

I hope by next week at this time, things might be back to normal. The sheet of ice at the gates and in the rim pasture is still 3 inches thick. It hasn't changed much from the photo I posted on Thursday, January 31...poor ponies are making the best of the situation though!

Pierce says "Here, let me show you how to do this!"

You wouldn't know it from the background in these photos...there's hardly any snow or ice to be seen.

Smile for the camera!

I worry about the two of them playing together, so they only get turned out in the round pen when I'm there to supervise. They get to ripping in the pen and Whiskey gets to ripping on the outside of the pen. Colt likes to push Pierce like a cow and herds him around.

Yahooooooo....this is FUN!!

Yes, Pierce is way shorter in the wither than the hip...runnin' down hill...which is accentuated by the bucking!!  Crossing my fingers that he'll be even when he's grown up. I need to measure him...he's grown a lot since we got him.

Pierce says "I'm bigger than you Colt!"

And Pierce LOVES to rear!

Awwwww...kissy face.

By the time they're done playing, they're all huffing and puffing with steam rolling off their backs. Then I have to cool them out. But, it's good to keep them occupied for some mental and physical stimulation.

Like I said at the beginning, it's going to be a while longer before I can turn anyone out to their pastures.
