This is incredible! We found this product called "Mosquito Dunks." They look like little doughnuts. You toss them in water tanks, etc. They contain a bacteria toxic only to mosquito larvae! They are non-toxic to horses, wildlife, pets, fish, and humans and last for 30 days. AND they started working immediately! Yeehaw! More details: You can buy these on Amazon!

I LOVE my Timely! Such a sweet girl. Back in the saddle again. Here in Texas, we have to ride around the rain, and it was dry today! Moving to Texas has been a huge stress on the horses, but they are doing much better. The bugs are still an issue 🤣 Lots of challenges. Drastically different weather/terrain. Living as a herd (of 4) has been their ROCK. I'll spend the summer with lots of groundwork and schooling exercises and fun stuff, and soon we'll be giving riding lessons again.

Crazy amount of rain here last night in Marlin, Texas! I don't even know how much, but it FILLED the 20-quart (5-gallon) flat-back bucket! 10+ inches? 🤣 We lived the desert for 40 years before we moved here, so we don't know what to do! I put on muck boots & a rain jacket and fed their breakfast. 💦
