The drought this year made poor people with ponies vary sad. The worst part of it is that when you go to buy hay in its above 8$ you start to cry. We bought 250 bales in the fall to hopefully last us through the winter, feeding a bale in the morning and night plus letting them into the back where there is grass. With six horses hay has to be rationed so my mom bought straight alfalfa hay, the two Lippizzan's cant have alfalfa, and but everyone else can.
We started giving them hay in the morning and sometimes at night if it is really cold, Arrow, Super Kid and Blitzen get alfalfa and everyone else gets grass mix. Welll this being the third day that they have gotten alfalfa I didn't think it would affect Super Kid.
Yeaaa sure, I got on her and she the whole time was saying " LOOK MOM THAT PLANT MOVED, WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE" "OMG, THE WIND BLEW. AHHHH" and Super Kid being herself was threatening to bolt the whole time.
