Decisions, Decisions, Decisions....

It's the daily decisions that are so stressful.  Since I know little to nothing about horses, having to make decisions for their care leaves me in a daily dither. Do I blanket today?  Is it going to be cold, windy, raining?  So, then which blanket?  Is it worth a fight with Sierra, the horse, to put a blanket on her?  That argument right there helps me a lot ! Noooo it is not worth a fight ...go out,  be cold or wet, whatever.

"can I come it?

The question of whether to turn out or not led me to watch the neighbours' horses.  Those horses have shelters so they can decide to be out or in.  Inevitably, I got it wrong.  If I turned out the horses, the neighbour horses were in and visa versa.  If I panicked because a weather report said severe weather was coming and I brought them all in, the weather would be fine.  Conversely, if I turned them all out and headed home, I would see the neighbours horses would be in and it would pour rain by the time I got to my door.  I always have a vivid picture in my head of Onelite, in a streaming thunderstorm out in the paddock trying to bring the horses in.  I helped by standing in the barn door lamely calling the horses names. Horses, by the way, don't care that much if people get wet.
