                                                    Blaze & Ginger Snap are

                                         spending their winter on the Island.

Winter Home on Mackinac

They get daily treat visits from their many friends. Blaze pulls a sleigh on occasion and Ginger is getting some ground driving work (too small for me to ride!, rats!) They have a box stall run in to get out of harsh weather and a heated water tank.  They mainly stay outside during the day and go in the run in at night. I put them in the stable when it is wet to give them a chance to dry out. They are doing great.

 

Here I am hauling water to stable for Blaze & Ginger. 6 – 5 gallon buckets, I do this once or twice a week to keep heated water tank filled.
