Duchess Corner

The Ides of March are upon us this weekend! AND ... St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner. Are you Irish -- Do you wear "Orange" or "Green?" ... Spring begins next week!

The day before the Ides, the horses were feeling spirited with the warm 50's, sunshine and heavy duty melting we've been having around here in the valley of Southwest Colorado.

They (the horses, lead by Nugget, the palomino gelding) made a break for it around 4:00 p.m., Friday afternoon.

Yep! The horses decided to take a little walk outside their pasture when they bumped down the top row of fencing and jumped the lower fence row just west of the water tank this last Friday afternoon around 4:03p.m.

There was no trouble getting them in, 'cause all they wanted was someone to feed them. They are kind of like Duchess the Pug ... When she wants to be fed, she comes and gets in your face, nose to nose.

The horses, of course, don't do the nose to nose, but they come looking for their feeder at feeding time.
