Relative Something

Monday, we enjoyed a little break from the rain, after a thorough soaking over the weekend. I gave the horses a half-hour on the grass in the middle of the day and found myself mesmerized by the sight of them. After opening the gate, I just stood there leaning on it, watching them graze.

They were 4 very happy horses.

Today, we have a vet visit scheduled, and hope to get her recommendation for how much we can be increasing their grazing time each day during the fast-growing time of year.

It is a shame to have so much grass that needs to get cut and not be able to give the horses uncontrolled access to it. I mowed a path through the section on the north side of our driveway that reveals how tall the grass has gotten in a relatively short span of time.

No wonder they get so antsy waiting in their paddocks for a chance to graze. They know the grass is growing much faster than they are allowed to eat it.
