Nothing says “adulting” quite like spending the entire day unloading and stacking (ok, maybe I had to work my boring office job on-and-off all day and Aaron and his amazing parents did the majority of the work) a semi load of beautiful orchard/alfalfa mix hay that was bailed with a steamer! No dust, soft leafy flakes, and horses that couldn’t wait to get their faces buried in it (which was evident when the one paddock group leader decided to open the gate on her own and come out to get the first samples of it lol) thank you Dayna Rivinius for the assist getting them back in and witnessing our daily circus 😂
Every sore muscle is worth it when the barn is full, the feed room smells like fresh hay, and the horses are diving into breakfast happy and content. Long day, but nothing beats knowing the horses are set up with the good stuff. 🌾🐴
