#every aspect of Florida life involves hurricane prep

Horses don't understand "it's warm now, but it's going to get colder all day," so they got thoroughly soaked in the pleasant rain this morning. Firefly and Serenity are draft crosses and generally don't need weather protection in Florida winters (unlike the Thoroughbred hothouse flower), but a soaked winter coat when the temperature is dropping fast is an exception.

Firefly and Serenity have dayglo orange heavy-duty rainsheets, because they're mostly going to see use as wind/driving rain protection during hurricanes; visibility is also good. Firefly is giving me the "excuse, I stood nicely for this rustly thing to be strapped around my body, I DESERVE COOKIE" expression. Yes, she was very good, she got cookie.

Gwyn is getting reasonably confident about being near the Pasture Dragons, although she's still not sure she wants them to sniff her. Tristan continues to show her that her big brother is confident and happy around the Extra-Extra-Big Sisters. Such a good boy, setting a good example every day.
