Last week I made a big mistake. When I feed the girls grain, I lock Spot out into the pasture. I feed him his food out there, and keep him from stealing their grain. Once everyone is done eating, I let him back in with the herd. I've often worried that I will forget him out there. It took awhile, but it finally happened. Friday morning when I went out to do the morning chores I saw this:
Poor Spot had been locked out there all night. He had no water, and no barn to seek shelter. I still feel terrible about it. I know he did fine, he doesn't even hold a grudge against me, but still, not ideal for him to be locked out there.
