It’s spring at Sky Ranch. We’ve had lots of rain and we are green green green! The horses have plenty of grass for grazing, and the cool sunny days are perfect for horse comfort. We’ve seen a few flies, but they’re not abundant yet so that makes it even better. It’s always a little disconcerting when we “spring forward” into daylight savings time. (Without the reminder “Spring Forward/ Fall Back I’d have to check the internet each season to check which way to adjust my non-digital watch!) The horses get to eat earlier so they adjust better than us humans, who have to get up an hour earlier to get them fed on time. I love learning lessons from our four footed friends. And I’m trying to take in this one: the days are longer…make good use of them. Life can be troubling and discouraging. Our horses are elderly, and have had some not-so-wonderful experiences in their pasts. But now it’s spring. More time to graze on lush green grass; more time be in the warm sun after dinner; and have a sleeker coat to boot! Spring forward!
