Just when you're getting used to warmer temperatures and the horses are seriously shedding, mother nature throws you a cold front bringing the temps back down into the lower 30s at night - and the wind chill there during the day. My goodness! All the horses are warm in their blankies, but what a chilly day! The wind is whipping around at 30mph and the water on my bare hands made them feel freezing.
Sweetie came in this morning with a goopy nose on the left side only - I started her on SMZ and this afternoon it wasn't quite as bad when she came in. Hopefully the SMZ will clear it up, or we'll need the vet out here in a few days. One sidedness is always weird - could even be a tooth in her old age. We'll see. She's still eating fine, and her temperament seems normal. (I need to dig out my horse thermometer, too). Praying for something simple.
Stay warm!!

Hope you warm up soon - we had wind chills in the low 20s yesterday - a little better today and then we're expecting mid to high 40s next week - even better.
