These big guys are used all winter long to pull a sleigh loaded with hay. Sometimes my brother hooks up four of them at one time. But now that it is summer it is time for them to be taken to the hill pasture for a rest.
My Brother Dan has become used to these big guys not wanting to be caught.
But he always seems to whisper to these big guys. I think he must tell them where they are going and how green the grass is and that they will just love it. Because they always let him finally catch them. But little do they know...
That they have to be wormed before they get to go out on summer pasture. The tube has a paste in it that kills off any worms that have grown in their system through the winter. It tastes uky and they are always trying to spit it out. But my brother prevails and gets it in the right spot so they then have to swallow it.
The long and finally walk after the long trailer ride. My dad standing by the trailer supervising the finally walk. My brother leading the team called Blaze. Rooster our faithful dog always making sure everything is herded and going in the right direction.
All four waiting to go through the gate. Some of the saddles horses waiting for the new arrivals.
Why is it that the grass always seems greener on the other side. A whole 100 acres to graze on and he decides not even 5 minutes into the field that it must be greener on the neighbors side of the fence.

That last pick makes me laugh. It is sooo true. Our horse always does that too.
