Quidditch is 2 days old and found out that back scratches are the best! Too cute!

12-hour-old Quidditch is starting to learn how those long legs work. He is also very curious about this little white thing following him around!

Chance gets very excited to see his Mom when she comes back home...the feeling is mutual.

It seems Elliot will not move over to give his buddy Handsome some room to lay down, so he sleeps sitting up! Too funny!

Chance loves his butt rubs, but it's fun for me also to watch the silly faces he makes.

Chance loves stealing my hat off of my head and then drags it through the dirt and mangles it all up.

Frisbee helps out feeding the horses daily and today he was helping keep the hay in the wagon so we could feed the horses their lunch.

A group of five sturdy horses wake up to the morning in style. We hear the rumble of the photographer’s vehicle, whether that is a tractor or an ATV, approaching the horses. They respond almost as one, trotting, and then jumping. These are leaps of unbridled joy rather than apprehension. These are Friesdale horses at some unspecified farm. Time of year? Probably recent. The trees are barren of leaves, yet there is no snow on the ground, and the ground doesn’t appear frozen. A thin fog seems to be settled at the moment, but perhaps not for long. “The world is waking up, and so should we,” the lead horse conveys its thoughts. “Let’s get on with it!” Like a coach or drill sergeant calling his cadets to calisthenics, first one horse jumps, then the others follow suit. They weave back and forth. This routine has probably been playing out regularly, every day, for a long time. They know the people in the vehicle, and what they carry in the burlap bags. Oats treated in molasses; hay. Alfalfa. Welcome to breakfast on the ranch. This is the moment you get to burn off the excess energy of the past evening. No need to save it just in case your care takers forget. They haven’t forgotten, and in minutes we’ll be replenishing our stores. This is the most delightful time of day, maybe even the whole year. It’s not too hot, not too cold. Quick energy from a sugar-rich food source keeps the fire burning inside. The tractor and the lead horse close in on each other, but cautiously, methodically. Two black horses in the back can be seen almost dancing together. The air is thick, if not with fog, then with anticipation. Something is about to happen, and it’s happening to us. The whole world can watch. We are <a href="https://rumble.com/v76v1b-horses-having-fun-playing-in-snow.html" target="_blank">horses</a>, hear us oh universe! From the look of the ground in the well-worn corral the horses make good use of their space. And still, it is not a muddy mess. The white wood fences are pristine. The grass is uniformly trim. These animals are well taken care of, it is no wonder they look so happy. They stop momentarily, as if someone must make a move. “Come on lady, let’s get this gig rolling!” they seem to say. The driver or passenger speaks to a partner, and they proceed. The horses do not retreat. It’s go time on the <a href="https://rumble.com/v7622b-wow-pilots-report-large-square-ufos-over-uk-on-facebook.html" target="_blank">farm</a>!

Horses, especially feathered horses are prone to scratches. I have never checked for them in the winter because scratches are usually caused by moisture and heat which produces a fungus called Scratches. Lesson leaned, horses can get Scratches in the dead of winter also. Here is a short video about what to look for and how to treat.

Friesdale Farms Ouija is shedding even though it's only 18 degrees out. Horses shed based on the daylight hours. When the days start getting longer they start shedding. The light hair grows in thicker so that sheds first and the most.

These majestic horses playfully running in the snow is a beautiful sight to behold. Check it out!

Elliot and Frisbee try to get the ball out of one another's mouth... Looks like no one is trying too hard!

Handsome the Great Dane walks right up to basket, takes out toy and walks away while Frisbee the PRT struggles to get the ball.

Every Great Dane I have owned sucks on teddy bears to fall asleep...I have very content Danes and a bunch of cone head teddy bears.

Frisbee has figured out if he pushes the ball at his owner, she will push it back. It's his way of playing catch and it's a daily routine now!

Negative 23 degrees out so the boys are restless. We walked down to the barn to feed the horses, they ran around and then ran full speed back up to the house

Frisbee loves getting vacuumed. I was trying to make him look like the lemon marang pie topping.

Chance is bored with the cold weather so he and his mom Hopscotch decide they need to play with the muck bucket and shovel. Awesome!

Frisbee wanted that Squirrel and will do what ever it takes to get him, even trimming branches to get closer. Lucky for the squirrel he was getting further away.

These horses get very excited every time the feed wagon pulls up with their hay. As you can see they are well fed, but still jump for joy when hay arrives!

All it takes is just one dog to howl before the whole crew joins in! Too funny!

Chance decides that this umbrella tastes good and tries to take a bite out of it. Too funny!

Chance can't figure out why he keeps getting smacked in the face with this umbrella. Roulette says, I'll stick by Mom until Chance figures this thing out.

Frisbee loves to groom back every time his owner scratches his chest. Can anyone explain this behavior?

Frisbee will hang on no matter how much his ears flip all over the place.
