My Mules

After hiding inside during the height of the storm, Fargo gets out to let off some steam. He spent about twenty minutes just racing around the paddock, bucking and playing. Flea stayed inside doing what he does best...eating.

Fargo actually spends time in this barn! I have the bug curtains up, and he likes to peek out of them at the weather. Flea is happily out of the weather inside, where the shavings are thick and the wind is blocked.

It's almost done...almost! Weather and time were not on my side, so the finishing touches will have to wait for spring. BUT. The mules are at their final home ever, they each have a stall, and they've settled in just fine.

With snowfall rates at about 2-4" per hour, I went out every two hours to shovel so I would be able to keep up.

Fargo gets his favorite, the blue Gatorade, for his birthday treat. He loves the stuff!

I've been fairly successful keeping the gravel area open this winter. The small humps in the background are actually piles of snow. When I shovel, the waste hay gets scooped up with the snow.
