OH, MY GOODNESS, IT IS SO HOT!!! Today is definitely the hottest day of the summer so far, and apparently there is more heat on the way for early this week. I tried to ride the ponies this morning but couldn't do much more than walk and a couple of circles at the trot.

I have spent most of the day inside with the air conditioning. The horses seem okay outside, and they are actually out in the sun nibbling grass right now. In the early morning, they do go down in the pasture which is in the shade. And later this afternoon, I will give them a quick rinse with the hose before turning them back out into a different shady pasture.

I can't wait for the cool, crisp autumn season!!! :D
