Aloha Kitt boy that doesn't sound like fun 

Troughs are easier, crack with a hammer then use a pitch fork (dedicated, not used on manure) to move the chunks.  Somehow I always manage to get soaked when doing the stall buckets.

I admire your resourcefulness

Lol More like self preservation. Wet on 20* days is bad news!

I have a heater in my outside trough, but I manage to get wet busting ice from the stall bucket too... there's always that water in the center that splashes straight at me.

We have heaters where we can, but some fields are just too far out to have electric service.

You have just the one mare, right? Why not get heated buckets for her? A little expensive, but soooooo worth it!

She's out most of the time, so I haven't bothered, and with one horse it's not such a big deal. I have about eight water buckets, so sometimes I just use a clean one and set the frozen one aside until it's warmer.   When I had the barn full of horses, the buckets didn't freeze at all.

Hey, Dugh. Fish-scale clouds have us bracing for winter storms here. Getting ready for supper now.

I skipped off from a "college for kids" class one summer to go to the beach.

@dughlas I had a "playmate" of sorts whom I convinced to leave campus with me.

It's good to have someone help with the sunscreen.

[dughlas]

G'day y'all. Though not cold it is gray and dreary here.

[Valkyrie]

We have a lovely snow squall passing through, which made the roads nice and slick for the commute in.  It's just the precursor though.  The big storm is supposed to start around 10 tomorrow morning and continue through Monday morning.

I found a picture of our resident Tea Bat sunbathing.   ☀️
