Meet my very 1st horse, Lazarus.
I couldn't wait for Santa anymore or ask one more time for a pony for my bday (after age 30 it got embarrassing). I took matters in my own hands and I finally decided to pick a pony that needed a new home. Laz found me as I contemplated with this idea. He was sweet yet very sassy, fresh off the track, Thoroughbred (OTTB).

Chilly & Warm November

So, it snowed in November. 
No mas! Not a fan of snow pre December (or Christmas if I'm being honest)
We got a few inches and it was chilly con carne!
Fatty likes the snow though. He is just such an outdoorsy horse. I rarely find him in his stall unless it's really frigid, or HOT---he's in his stall more in the summer than ever.

 I brought Mason out...my sweet boy isn't able to join me on every visit like his earlier years. He gets too sore, even just from the car ride. His left hind ACL is threatening to blow so I'm being so careful with him yet trying to give him the best quality of life too. I try to take him 1x a week now (vs before it was up to 4x a week---senior pets, it tugs your heart strings!!!)

Then it warmed up, all the snow was gone, it rained for three days but felt balmy. YES.

Back to cold again currently...
The barn owners put up this adorable wreath on the barn.

    I LOVE the wreath photo and the one of the dogs!!! Senior pets are a roller coaster ride. I hope his ACL holds out and that he still enjoys himself. :)

      Thanks and yes, having senior pets is a gentle process for sure.
