Monday morning at 16 degree weather was the departure of Fancy and young Bravo for their training adventure in Florida with Tony and Jenny Vaught.
Tony and Jenny arrived around 8:00am, hooked up trailer, loaded hay bales, secured hay nets and loaded horses. They had to touch metal to do all this. While Fancy was loading everyone complained about being frozen.
Tony’s fingers were frozen up to the nails. Jenny’s face froze. My thighs froze. The horses were fine. They live in this weather. Plus the hay filled nets blocked much of the air coming into the trailer.
The truck and trailer drove off, headed south to warmth.
I took my frozen thighs into my bed and buried myself in my blankie. My thighs only slightly thawed. After about an hour of thigh thaw failure, I asked the spouse if he would like to go out for breakfast. We drove about 15 miles with my heated car seat on high. I never can drive that long with the high heat setting. However on this day, I occasionally could feel flashes of heat at about mile 10. Good Lordy!
I think the horses made it to Memphis about the same time my thighs thawed.
Tuesday am, they made it to Florida. Tuesday am was a warm 22 degrees in Mid Missouri.
Fancy, you owe me big time!
