Rain And More Rain

Is there anybody who really needs more rain? Out here in west central Alberta we are getting a whole lot of rain. The puddles are full and the dugouts are full and the creeks are up. The horses and I don’t like the wind and cold that seems to have to accompany the rain but after experiencing those dry years I try really hard not to complain about the moisture. And… if we get some good weather that lets us get the hay off in good condition there should be lots more feed this fall. I’m sure most all of you will appreciate that.

Sherry Moyen sent us these photos of Ebon Stables near Saskatoon, SK that were taken during the big rains there near the end of June. I think there are going to be more places around here looking like that soon. Do you have any rain photos that you would like to share? Is it dry in your area? If so comment below and let us know or send the photos to us at lynn@northernhorse.com

While we are at it – does anybody know where we can go riding that the mosquitoes aren’t particularly bad? I have been trying to buy the big bottle of horse mosquito spray but am finding that they are sold out everywhere that I check. I might have to find an arena to ride at but my allergies make that less fun than it could be.
