Will post at current barn & my own new barn next spring. Xeroxing copies now. Like the idea of my VFD coming out in their turnouts; both my horses freak at even a new bush! And I wonder if any of the firemen would lead out a panicky horse? .Question: does it help or hinder covering the horses eyes to lead them out through smoke &/or fire…or is this a myth?

Still I keep chickens, rabbits, and other animals in the barn for the winter. I do all the things mentioned above, but not the water hose, since we have no water in the barn, have to haul it from the house.

I was considering buying heated buckets for the winter but I will pass unless I use them only when home and awake. Instead, I may go with a bucket cozy. See it here: wildangelcozy.com We had a cold winter last year and this year is supposed to be worse. I am interested in the salt for the hay since I had about 25-30 bales go bad during the year. I will stack them differently and try the salt because my hay IS with the horses, unfortunately.
