Mayhem

Last night, Indigo, Daktari and Gun Runner's shed - which was always meant to be temporary - was picked up by by gust of wind and deposited, upside down, on the other side of the fence.

The other side of the fence is where Sage and Luna are currently spending their days.
When we turned them out this morning, we thought they might be concerned about the new addition to their field.
They weren't.
They walked a couple careful laps around it.
Both directions, of course.
Then they decided it was fine and went back to eating.
Later, when we brought them in, there was a backhoe digging a hole between the field and their stalls.
We let them take a good, long look - neither expressed much concern - before tucking them into their stalls and saying goodbye for the day.
Except it wasn't actually goodbye. A couple hours later, the barn owner put out an SOS. Broken water line, entire stable except for the show barn dry, please come and help. Seth and I jumped into action.
We brought enough water for Sage...
and Karen's two.
When that was depleted, we went up to the show barn and refilled.
All the usual suspects were present, and everyone worked hard making sure all the horses were provided for. 
Teamwork makes the dream work.
Just as we were finishing up, the water was turned back on. It's not right, but it's good enough for now. Hopefully, tomorrow it will be good enough for real.
This was a weird day at the barn.
Usually, most stable related mayhem is caused by horses, but  today, the horses were innocent.
Good night again, sweet girl. I hope you sleep well. These things often come in threes, and there's no telling what tomorrow may bring.
