With all that shoveling, horse care & barn chores, there is no need for a gym membership! And what could be a better way to greet the day than hearing the nicker of a beloved horse?

And yes, alfalfa is good - Silk gets a flake at bedtime too. I used to avoid alfalfa with my horses because it made them so hot, but now as they grow older, I like to give them the extra protein and I don't mind the friskiness - in fact, I love it. 32 years old - I love to hear that! The elders have so much to teach us. They are very special.Victoria Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267314663679137147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-84109649345979001712016-03-14T17:49:54.471-04:002016-03-14T17:49:54.471-04:00Older horses are so very special...dear to my hear...Older horses are so very special...dear to my heart for sure. Very happy to hear that you've found a recipe that she approves of and is obviously doing her much good!! For my older gal, who will be 32 the end of May this year, is 3rd cutting alfalfa which is very leafy. She gets 1 good-sized flake each evening, along with plenty of grass hay and a couple pounds of Purina Equine Senior. So far - so good! And plenty of fresh air and exercise to keep her sassy... :)C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-45018822473749207012016-03-13T05:00:39.439-04:002016-03-13T05:00:39.439-04:00Well done!

Good for so many reasons.Lori Skooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03458010787337492501noreply@blogger.com
