My husband works in Emergency Management/Preparedness and is an ammy meteorologist (he's taken the forecasting program from Penn State and recieved a certificate but has had a life-long passion for weather) as part of his work. The GA Int'l Horse Park actually contacted him recently to help them assess their needs and develop a plan for &Amanda Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164403570181519191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-50552921614982079662012-06-04T19:39:35.827-04:002012-06-04T19:39:35.827-04:00I once had to bring horses in during a thunderstor...I once had to bring horses in during a thunderstorm (rain, hail, lightening). I walked into the paddock of this Mustang gelding who is definitely tame and broke but still a little 'rough around the edges.'

A farmhouse not too far from here was supposedly struck by lightning last night and burned down. So, would I want the Boys locked in the barn? Then again, the pasture is on an open hill. Do I want them out there? <br /><br />I too have spent hours Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.com
