Twilight



Two Spotted Saddle Horses, one Rocky Mtn. Horse, and a Caspian (all yearlings) prepare to spend the night grazing by the barn. We have a lot of vocal coyotes in this area, but so far haven't had any livestock harmed by them. We are far more afraid of rabid skunks as this area seems to be under a perpetual rabies alert. Then we fear opossums due to the dreaded EPM, short for "Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis" or 'Possum Disease' -- no joke:
