This is How Cold It Was Yesterday! III
In what might end up as our worse equine related tragedy to date, Emily W. and Lydia (human) made the horrible mistake of putting their hands on Skyco. He was so cold to the touch that their hands were instantly frozen in place. If the temperature improves I will go out later today and try to chip the two girls off of the unfortunate little horse.
I would have tried to snatch them free yesterday but for the nightmarish experience of Emily M. who thoughtlessly kissed Lydia (dog) in the frigid pasture. Lydia dog will heal just fine. We have high hopes for the skin grafts.
I'll bet all the bits were FROZEN, poor ponies!
ReplyDeleteIt's really warm here, actually. Sad.
Yesterday it was only 68 degrees but the sun was so intense I was sweating. :) Aghhh!
We didn't use any bits and the ponies were happy and weren't cold.
ReplyDeleteIt was the humans who were cold. :)
