1-3 It snowed today! So, I decided to let out the new foals with their mothers so they could discover what snow is! First was Naina and Fortuna. Fortuna was trying to jump and canter all around, but she slipped a few times on the snow xD She was okay, so the whole thing was rather adorable. 4-7 Next was Firecracker and her two twins, America and Soldier. She's been very worn out lately as a mother and I could tell she wanted some time away from her little ones, as much as she loved them. So, I tried to distract them with pets and cuddles while she snuck off to eat hay. Unfortunately, it only worked for so long! XD After a bit, they ran after Mom again. Oh, well! 8-10 I let the other horses out to pasture. Eowyn was so happy to get out and did a few bucks in celebration. Melody, however, was /hating/ the cold, and I think she might've wanted to go back to inside already xD 11 I'd originally thought I'd be riding after all my chores, but honestly, it was way too cold. So I headed back to the house for a few hours before going back out to bring all the horses back into their warm stalls. - Now, I'd thought that was going to be the end of my update day. However, that night, the new security cameras I got alerted me of sudden motion inside the barn. So, I threw a coat on over my pajamas and headed out to see what was wrong. 12-14 Turns out, Midnight was colicing. Melody was throwing a fit next to him, maybe scared by all the rolling he was doing. When a horse is colicing, you should never let them roll, of course. Their intestine could twist and that could kiII them. 15-19 So, I grabbed his halter and lead rope and walked around the arena for about half an hour. I was absolutely freezing afterwards, but he seemed calmer. 20 I put him back in his stall and went back to the house to warm up before going out again and walking him out. - I spent most of the night walking Midnight, taking short breaks in between to nap and warm up. Thankfully, it was all worth it in the end. His colic seemed to have resolved by morning.
