PET TIP: Will this weather ever quit. Horse blankets are still on, with quick removals for brushing and then back on again. This is a very awkward time because you don’t want them to get cold and chilled, then sick, yet you don’t want them to get over heated and then sick.

Before you know it everyone will be shedding a lot and summer will be here. Then we can worry about bugs biting everyone.
