Pinpoint accuracy. Where’s Mike Rowe when you need him?

Looks like his mane will flop to his left but that doesn’t mean he’s a Biden voter.
Let’s see if he gets a mail-in ballot.

This was the scene at 8 AM today, due to smoke from wildfires. Very strange.

A heat wave has been in effect out west since September 4. Filling water buckets three times a day, compared to once a day normally. Photos taken September 7.

Hand truck placed near hay several hours earlier but by late afternoon the elves still hadn’t unloaded it. They never showed up to clean the corrals either.

Better find a shady spot where you can ride it out until sundown.

An adopted horse escaped from its trailer earlier today and ran free for about two hours, according to a report by the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.
The horse was captured in a field and placed into another trailer.

These troughs are deep enough to confine hay and grain but don’t obstruct peripheral vision. Horses can’t see directly in front of their noses, whiskers help with that.

Yeah he’s three months old, but his poop is now large enough to be scooped up with the rake. Kinda nice if you’re the one cleaning the corral. Photos taken July 3.

New arrivals at the ranch! Two baby foxes discovered last night near the barn, about a month earlier than last year. Photo taken this morning. Same spot as last year.
Not sure if they’re related to the fox videoed four weeks ago just outside the barn.

Yesterday commissioners changed the minimum setback distance from three miles to one mile, clearing the way for a high-density horse feeding operation near Burns, WY and silencing the voices of those opposed to the facility.
The new setback will be subject to odor propagation modeling. If the tool says adverse effects will spread beyond the one-mile radius, affected landowners will be added to the stakeholder group.
The amendment was approved unanimously, according to a report posted this morning by the Wyoming Tribune Eagle.
The hearing begins at 08:32 in this video.
The proposed facility, with a capacity of 5,000 wild horses on 80 acres, will be operated on behalf of the BLM.
