We finally had a break in the weather and it reached a balmy 55 degrees on Saturday. We decided to take the opportunity to address a few "horse related" jobs that are always easier to "put off until tomorrow".
The first: Cleaning out the horse trailer (warning: If you have a quesy stomach-move to part two). NO ONE will ever be able to say they enjoy this job. It stinks! Quite literally! We had just returned from a two day drive with a horse. Our horses eat about 22lbs. of hay a day. So, just imagine what that 1200lb. animal left for us in the trailer. It ain't pretty-I can promise you that!!! It took us about two hours to clean the trailer inside and out. I will spare you the details and the before picture....here is our after shot.
The second: Cleaning out the water bins. If someone ever tells you they enjoy this job...ask them what they are smokin'. No matter how hard you try you end up covered in water and muck! You have to use a pressure washer to get the 2 inches of grime off the bottom and sides that has built up over the winter. I took a couple of muck shots to the eye in the process as well!! GROSS!!! Not to mention the smell.....think supermarket day old fish! EGAD!!! I will again spare you the before pics!!
Long story short-we had fun spending time together enjoying what we love - taking care of our horses :)
