The mares had their brand new rainsheets on and were waiting for the forecast torrential rain to begin. A friend was here and brought a friend of his, a general contractor, to dash my dreams of building a master bathroom addition, which they did very well, thank you. Then we wandered into the kitchen to ask questions about that room. Friend, who also owns horses, poked his friend to come look out the window. He said, "You have to see this! And you thought we (he & his wife) were crazy. Their horses are wearing blankets!"
Gee, don't all horses have full wardrobes of clothing for different weather conditions? And a servant to apply and remove them as needed?
I've had neighbors stop in the summer months and ask me why my horses are blindfolded.
You've never heard of flymasks to keep the bugs out of their eyes? After all, their tails don't reach that far and they don't even have hands for swatting bugs away.
People can be so funny! How could any horses have survived here before I brought my new-fangled ideas in?
I don't know much about horses, but even I know about the blankets. I think it's cute your horses have blue and pink blankets on. Is that so you can tell the boy from the girl? ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised the contractor told you there was no way you could add to your master bathroom. I thought contractors didn't know the meaning of the phrase "can't be done."
Diane, actually, both are mares (females). Cookie looks cute in all the fun stuff, but Rose is the matriarch and likes the classic or preppy look.
ReplyDeleteThe contractor didn't say can't. He said "Anything can be done if you have enough money." We thought $25K was over the top for a teeny shower bath. If anyone can find a way to work around the load-bearing wall problem, it will be me. Plan B right now is to redo the kitchen instead!
