Rainy day...

Today was a gray, rainy day so the horses spent the day in the barn with plenty of hay. I groomed Crystal in her stall and she stood so quietly and really enjoyed the attention. Tonight, it had stopped raining but there was a chance it would rain a little more, so I opted to put a blanket on Crystal since the temps will be about 46 and that would be cold in the rain! I took the blanket in to her stall and let her smell it first, and then gently put it on her back. She stood completely still and let me fuss with it a bit (tighten the belly straps). Did I mention that I had not put a blanket on her yet? She is SUCH a sweet mare!
