| Winter 2009-2010 . |
There's no harder time to have horses on a shoestring, and keep them healthy, than winter - and 2009-2010 has been one of the
hardest we've endured. These pages chronicle our guys/gal and a bit of how they (and we) survived this hardest of seasons.

| Dovel Hollow Road. Driveway is just beyond the Cedar trees - railroad trestle across the valley is beyond that. |
| Driveway onto the farm. |
| White posts mark the bridge over the stream. |
| The guys/gal, waiting for breakfast. Center pic has Max on the left, Cherokee & Banjo at the gate, Blue and Sweetpea behind them. The area we're walking has been cleared by snowblower TWICE at this point, with another 4" to take care of. Blower was then used to clear the roundpen so hay could be brought in. |
| Max, patiently waiting for breakfast. |
| Clicking on any photo will bring it up, full-size, in a new window. |
| Cherokee, watching us get the morning grain ready for breakfast. |
| BREAKFAST TIME! Max never misses breakfast. |
| Blue, making faces. |
| Banjo, doing what he does best - stuffing his face. |
| Cherokee, munching. |
| Sweetpea. Of all the horses, she is the most patient (except for "cookie time") and gentle. |
| After breakfast. Cherokee's "helping" Max get all the grain off the ground, Sweety & Blue are in the stream for a sip. |
| Their shelter, after some of the snow slid off. |
