 Posted: 04/30/03 - 16:24 Post subject: hottest day of the year so far...
And my horses knock over their water barrel and play soccer with it in the middle of their 3 acre field. That got my attention as I was driving by. 
I swear, after four years of existence you'd think they could make the connection between water bucket for play toy=I'm thirsty later on in the day. These two have destroyed no less than 30 water barrels in their short lives. At one place I boarded them at they had a bath tub for a trough and they couldn't tip it so they would go fishing for the plug. Ate six plugs before we came up with a new plan.

Well, first off, I'd take their soccer cleats away from them.

And, of course, their snorkels would come next.

They've always had a soccer ball and sometimes one of them really connects with it (unintentionally of course, but it's funny to see this ball go wailing through the air with a horse running after it).

I like to bob apples in their water bucket in the summer time. Henry will push it all the way to the bottom (water up to his eyes) to get a grip on it.
