Being sick and trudging out into the snow is hard enough. Harder still is when you have a horse on her back in the stall. Maple our 8 month old weanling fell asleep against the stall wall. She was on her side unable to roll over to get up. I got back to house and had Alan come and lend a hand. He calmly stood by her head and tucked her front legs and rolled her over. No ropes, no pulling just horse weight all rolled over and up again. And there stood a feisty know it all Maple again.This photo is a summer shot of Maple and the stall before hay was added for the winter.
Horses can do silly things even in large open and cushy stalls. Maple is running all around in the snow and pretending nothing silly happened.
