My weekend was a busy one. With winter coming so do my winter horse boarders. This year I ended up filling up my 20×35 run-in shed with hay which means I needed a place for the horses to get out of the wind, rain, and snow. The problem? Yeah...

Sully is the second horse we adopted from the horse rescue in June of '07. He was not quite two years old at the time. We chose him because of his sweet disposition -- he came right up to us in the corral, and after getting his nose...
