Pasture Halters!

Greg has been busy the last few evenings!  He's been making what we call "Pasture Safe Halters".  These are rope halters made from 1/4" and 3/16" rope.  It makes a halter that you can leave on your horse without worry.  They are great for those horses that walk away from you when you go out to catch them - you have a catch halter on them you can grab.  These are safe in pasture because they will break if the horse catches it on anything.  They are nice for you because you don't have to worry about your horse getting hurt, but can still catch them when you need to!

Net Failure :(

Bummer - found a hole in the small mesh hay net on my barrel feeder today!  I'm really surprised!  I have nets that I've used continuously for 2 yrs with no issues, so this was definitely a surprise.  I'm going to have to order a new net to put on there to replace it.  Of course, this net is probably 2 yrs old, so I should have expected something to fail eventually.   Not a big deal though - all I have to do is "unstitch" it an d it should be fine.  I can actually do it where the barrel feeder is hanging.  Not a horrible task - just need some daylight to do it with some temps above 20 so my fingers don't freeze!
