And Lucas is really pissed off!!! Normaly I leave his door open when I clean out his bucket, and today he actually walked out of the stall, and was on his way into the indoor when I caught up with him! He then pretended that he had come out to casualy smell the horse across from him but he was on his way 'out' when I caught him! Hes really really bored. Does anyone know of any tricks to teach him to keep both of us occupied? He'll "smile" if you press on his front lip. And he now nickers for treats :) For a horse thats lived in trainer barns for the past couple of years its an improvment in his social skills! We did streaches for carrots today, but hes always a step ahead of me sometimes.
The shoes are on there way, the farrier had to order them in (as normaly he doesnt carry them in the winter) so he's hoping that they will be in tomorrow. So far no heat in his bad leg, and not alot of stocking up from being stuck in his stall.
I had posted Lucas' playing outside video on my facebook, and Lucas old owner from NC commented that he looked like he had adapted well to the snow.
In2Paints gave me a very nice award (and my very first one!!) but its going to have to wait untill tomorrow for me to talk about as I have to go teach my mom (the teacher) how to send an attachment in an email!

I guess they all get bored in the winter. If it was me I'd try to escape too and find something to amuse myself. Funny horse!
Lilly likes to pretend she's going to walk out of her stall... then I make a grunting noise at her and she stops and looks at me like, "what? it's boring in here!"
I can't think of any tricks to teach him, but hopefully the weather gets better, he gets his new shoes, and everyone can be happier. :)
Nice that Lucas's old owner thought he was doing well.
I gave you an award, too. Come visit!
