Horses in varying climates grow winter coats in the winter months and shes them in the spring. However it’s not the weather variance that determine the coat growth or shedding. Its the daylight hours. The horses’ pituitary gland recognizes change in daylight hours and produces hormones that cause the hair growth and loss.
The spring is an especially variable time for weather in MN. We’ve had an 80 degree day 4 weeks ago and today it’s in the 30s with flurries. The worst weather for horses though is just above freezing and raining. The wet coat keep them from warming themselves with their natural body heat (enhanced greatly by eating, horses eat to stay warm).
So on really cool spring days we will throw blankets on them to make sure they stay warm enough. And since they are massive animals with no regard for how much things cost, they will most likely tear the material and break the straps by the time the weather warms up.

Today a coworker asked if I could help him for a bit as he had to go pickup some stuff he won at an auction. Turned out it was a warehouse full of old junk (shuttered restaurant equipment and small wares, chairs and old booths, why am I here?) and the pallet I audible made fun of when we arrived just so happened to have his name on it.
It looked like this.
I looked like this
The back of the car looked like this
Plus we had a pull behind trailer with 2 crusty ass bookshelves and a filing cabinet.
It ain’t all horses and pizza in my world.

Random photos from this last week.
I made gluten free Smoked Turkey Meatballs (using almond flour)And I watched the World Pool Masters tournament (with Taco watching birds)
On a rainy Sunday I smoked curry chicken wings. Roasted broccoli with broccoli sprouts and homemade hummus.
We ate the wings with cilantro chutney and coconut Labneh.
Yeah, we ate off the sheet pan like savages.
Also made quick pickles and jarred some preserves lemons.
Always something going on in our kitchen.

Random fact that only a lawyer can tell you: Himalayan salt does not actually come from the Himalaya. It comes from a salt range quite far away from the mountains itself. The federal german court has ruled that the term 'Himalayan salt' is actually misleading and therefore prohibited under german law. There is salt which actually comes from the Himalaya, but that is not the pink stuff everyone refers to.
I'm sure the stuff you prepared with it was delicious, though! -
@tody San Francisco salt company is a supplier we rep here in the U.S. I’ll have to share that fact with the supplier salesman when I talk to him next. LIARS!!!
