Good morning! Glad you found the new thread!
I don't think Rusty looks ~too~ too fat, I am glad he did well last night for you! I really hope he's over his troubles and getting back to normal for you.
Glad I got the seed down yesterday, at least I can say I accomplished ~something~ because I didn't do much else :~\. Hope it still has time to germinate and grow some, it is already dropping under 50 degrees at night.
I don't know about the apple tree! We cut it WAY back, so now it isn't as overwhelming with tons of apples, maybe just a manageable few. There are actually two apple trees, we found another one in the brush behind where the pony is in that picture Might still cut them down, but on the other hand.... at least now there is room to get around and fence it off during apple season. ~shrugs~ I still go back and forth on it.
If the trees where there from the beginning and the horses got use to them, and gradually got use to eating them you think it would cause them problems. Kind of like a candy dish with kids, If it's ALWAYS there maybe they wouldn't gorge....maybe:)
