Still a little shaky

About 12:45 I heard a loud boom, but we frequently hear booming noises when it is very windy here. Five minutes later, I looked out and saw this. My first thought was that a horse might be under it, and I was horror-struck until I looked up the hill and saw Magic and Rags staring down, almost as perturbed as I. I called Jack and gave him a brief description of the visible damage, and took my camera out while I checked how much danger the ruins presented for the horses. Of course, once I got out there they decided I would protect them, and came down to see what was going on. I managed to get them away from the wreckage and put them in the new field and closed the gate. The wind peeled the roof completely off of the structure, and it is now laying on the ground: nails pointing up. The wiring in the old barn was twisted apart and the bulbs were broken, so I threw the circult breakers in the new barn.
Jack is on his way home so we can figure out if we can make the old field safe enough for horses tonight, or whether I have to take them to my trainer’s to board for a couple of days while we clear away the debris.

I dropped some grated cheese on the floor while I was making a quesadilla for lunch. I made sure it was scattered around, and called the dogs in to clean it up. It took them about three minutes to eat all the cheese, and another ten minutes to assure themselves that they hadn’t left any.

I woke up to the sound of the chinook this morning. At least they weren’t strong enough to dismantle the house, or even distress the Collie.

This detail is from Danny, a small paint-arabian cross who is my trainer’s school horse.
Today, the weather was fabulous. It was so beautiful that I threw the bareback pad on Hap and see if he was still absolutely the best bareback pony in Colorado.
