Snow, and a new pair of Mules.....

Hi everyone, I've not posted in over a week, and the only thing new around here is the snow and we got a new pair of mules yesterday. We have about 4-5 inches of snow on the ground which is a lot for around here. I got out this morning and let Greta run and play ball in the snow...she loves it! We also snapped a couple pics of the new boys. I think we are gonna brave the roads and run to town to pick up a few things, and I'll probably take Greta out to play again when we get back.

The new "boys" settling in to their new home...................






John Boy stretchin' over the gate to get a better look at the new pair of mules.......






Dior after rolling in the snow all morning....he loves it, and he seems fine without a blanket, so we don't put one on him very often. He has snow and ice all over him, so he is keeping his body heat in good. We always make sure all our horses and mules have unlimited amounts of hay in the winter to keep their body temps up, it really is the best thing you can do to help them generate more body heat in the cold weather.  I just watch them and make sure they don't start shivering or showing signs of being really cold............

That's all for now, everyone have a great weekend, and stay warm!!!!!!
