Friday's Horses - Maddie and Pete and Green Grass. + Around The Farm
Laurie lets them out for an hour or so daily, adapting to
being back on pasture.
Time to graze.
After a bit, Maddie stopped, looking for a place to roll.
She found it.
Switching sides.
The blissfulness of a "joy roll".
She and Pete grazed their way to the far fence. Ran out
of good grass. Maddie decided to head back in.
Pete turned around, spotted his girl and raced to catch up.
They passed by the spot where Maddie had rolled.
She shed some winter hair that day.
Shadow watched from the barn, where she was tied up
due to her bad habit of chasing the horses.
"The kids" enjoyed a little more munching before returning to their pen.
And daddy freed his puppydog. We made our way back to the house.

'Round The Farm ~
The last time we saw Laurie she had been getting down and dirty.
She had been cleaning out the last section of ditch.
Despite drudgery, she managed a smile a day earlier.
Once pipe was laid Laurie filled in this branch of the ditch.
Before the horses can gain access to the barn their portable corral
needs relocating. We rearrange panels by detaching and moving.
Fence panel clamps hold them together,.
Once she reaches a stopping point for the day Laurie calls
her ponies in for dinner.
Looking out at Pete through his almost-ready stall.
By the way, if you ever need any bailing twine let us know.
We've got lots of knots.
Thank You for your time. We'll see you next Friday.

When I was a kid, I started riding at the local college and then spent six summer at a riding (and swimming) camp in Vermont. But then I got sent to boarding school in Massachusetts, no more horses. But I have such fond memories of the horses I got to know, still remember their names... 
... to your weekly pix of the horses and Shadow. Oh, and Laurie! She wears a tractor well! 
I never knew horses are rolled around on the ground like dogs. Pretty cool.
