Spring is at the Farm and The Animals are Crazy

OK, so spring and the mud have arrived at the Farm, so have the grasses and the weeds.


Yesterday was the first adventure with the Big Boys. We decided they needed a walk around the farm property. So, I hooked up THOR, the resident Percheron, and we went for a walk; much to the dismay of MAX who was NOT at all happy about being left in the paddock. Max wanted the same hand grazing which Thor was enjoying. We walked around much to the amazement of the passing cars as to the the Giant Feeding in the yard... He makes a great lawn mower!

Next was MAX. Now Max is bigger than THOR and we have never had him out and about before. While very comfortable with the boy he brings a unknown to the picture. I know what Thor is capable of doing and can read him. Max is not so easy to read outside the paddock. So, I walked in asked him to come over to me, which he promptly did. Off we were, out of the barn down the drive and into the yard. He was a bit skittish at first but after talking to him he settled down and realized this was a good thing, nothing to be scared of and go nutty. We walked over to where the grass is and he was in heaven. He behaved like Thor, calm and at peace. Both boys were fantastic... Sunday is another day and another treat for the afternoon feeding.
