horsekeeping

1: Not just cleaning my bridle, but taking it apart and cleaning it. Reminds me of rainy days at summer camp. I love a clean bridle, and I don't do this often enough.
2. Morning feeding. Quiet, birds, munching horses.
3. Raking the barn aisle. Love to see it all tidy. Doesn't happen often enough.
4. Dragging the arena. There's something zen about going around in circles.
5. Mucking stalls. Good exercise. Keeps that middle aged flapping under my upper arm to a minimum.

What are yours?

All of these things happened yesterday, when it was 96 at my house.

Your horse pulls the hose out of the trough so it's on the ground spraying up, and he stands over it so it's spraying his chest and belly. (true!)

You don't really mind scrubbing the trough.

You (as a normal late sleeper) get up at 6:00 am to get a ride in.

The dog goes swimming...in the trough.

Your three year old, who normally doesn't like baths, follows her friend's lead and stands over the hose, too. Then she puts her leg in the trough.
