We've weathered a nasty storm at Dharmahorse and are cleaning up after a week of wind, ice, below zero temperatures and constant hauling of drinking water to horses in buckets... hot mashes, constant hay feeding, double blankets and leg wraps... keeping dogs safe inside, water faucets dripping to keep from freezing solid... trying to conserve propane with thermostat at 61... rolling blackouts by electric company so the power would not go off for days!
WOW, we made it through with flying colors and feel so grateful for so many things! Just before the storm we had visitors and Majic was our angel caretaker as he gave gentle rides. Then I judged a horse show and thought I was cold, HA! Everything is relative - and I think that was the lesson of the storm. Appreciation and awareness - good lessons.
