The Warm Weather

At this time of year, I usually get so excited for all the warm weather and knowing that I can soon go out in a tank top and shorts. But with everything melting and then it gets close to freezing at night, the snow has turned to ice and it gets very slippery out in the horse pasture. Sean is spending a lot of his days in his stall because the ground is slick for him walk out there. D.C. and the other horses walk on the ice just fine without slipping and sliding but Sean almost falls down on that ice.
I am going over my options on what to do so Sean can be outside without falling down.
1.    Putting Cat Litter all over the pasture. That would take a long time to spread and I would probably have to buy 3 or 4 bags.













2. Putting on his hoof boots that he uses on the rocky roads. I checked them-they don't have any grip.

3. Putting on these new shoes that are plastic and good for no slipping.

So many decisions to do in one day; it is hard to keep up.
