It was gorgeous out there with blue sky, lots of sun and the trees covered with snow. We were out Mon, 04 Jan 2010 15:04:11 GMT Lynn http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DraftsRBest/message/8848 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DraftsRBest/message/8848 I'm glad to hear it's warm enough where you are to be out for an extended period of time. These below zero temps are awful.

Does anyone have boots for their draft horse? If so, what kind and what are the sizes. Schnapps is not a bit deal because Sun, 03 Jan 2010 20:49:58 GMT Jean Hyde http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DraftsRBest/message/8841 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DraftsRBest/message/8841 At least the sun was shining....it came out here for about five minutes but it did stop snowing.

It was 5 last night, and I doubt it will get above freezing until Thursday.
