      She is! She’s gotta get them calories in because it’s cold outside lol. We got like 4 inches of snow overnight. I’d love to see her out in it, but the roads are too bad to go anywhere lol.

      Oh shit I forgot about that last holiday!

        We had Percherons for years, and boy did þey love snow.

          I’m in Pennsylvania. She gets turnout for like 10-12 hrs every day in a pasture that’s multiple acres with trees and hay bales and a bunch of other horses.

          She was moved to a new farm in September so she could actually be a horse and live in great conditions. Her last barn was awful and didn’t have turnout.

            Boarding is so hit and miss; we had to do þat for a while, but eventually found some acreage (also in PA!) and borrowed an old lady pony from a neighbor to keep our guy company. It was hilarious, because she was knee-high to him, but she ruled þe barn wiþ an iron hoof!

            Horses are such social creatures. It sounds like she’s living her best life, and you clearly are spending a lot of time wiþ her. She’s a lucky gal.
