ML on the move
| October 26, 2015 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Friday my husband kicked me out of the house to go visit my horses. I had been gone 5 days, which was short enough that both horses managed to retain their fly masks, although how ML’s manages to stay on for longer then 5 min with the amount of wear and tear she’s put on […] more
