Wind

We've had some serious bouts of wind around here. Thirty to fifty mile an hour wind gusts, sustained around 25.

The boys were not happy in field #2 with the wind howling through, even though the sun was bright. Branches were falling, the buzzards were grounded, the corn husks were flying, trash blowing around. Skip wanted IN. NOW.

I let them into the interior dry paddock to move them into the barn paddock and both of them were acting like idiots. And since they are about 1,000 lbs. idiocy can take on a dangerous slant.

The tarp on the ground has gotten loose from the bricks and pavers and was blowing and flapping. The boys, but particularly KC, were running around in a panic, bucking, blowing, and side passing.

They were glad to be locked in the barn with the Dutch doors latched, even though it was still daylight. Another night that they are staying in, all night long.
