About Lancer

The Weather Horse, Lancer; it is what it is. Lancer, is 17 years old, 15-3 hands and 1/4 Percheron and 3/4 Quarter Horse. His friends include Rev and Little John the dogs, Sterling the cat, Zito the horse amongst many other humans. He lives outside (in at night) and has become quite good at reporting the weather in Ashburnham, MA, Elevation 1200ft. He likes carrots and peppermints along with grain, grass and hay.

Late Post…

heavy frost

The morning began with a heavy frosting, before sunrise white formed on the ground appearing as if snow had fallen, Lancer had an apple snack and drove Rev into a jumping frenzy, Rev likes everything – tomatoes, carrots, apples as well as the multiple flavored poopcicles everywhere – the day has seemed to turn gray, this late posting occurring under cloud cover and milder than freezing temps, a soft and fluffy looking horse is eating short brown grass while dogs now lay by the stove.

Rising Mist

cloudy

Still within a cloud and hanging mist, warmer temps melting all but a few colder spots, ice becoming water again in the buckets, though a slight crunch underfoot, some brightening and is that really blue up there?

Enjoying the Weekend!

snowy tops

A graying day taking color away, snow is sticking to stone. fuzzy horse is making his way, to the field to graze alone, warming temps changing to rain, only occasionally light, throughout the day seeming to wane, still cloudy but changing to bright!

Shaking it Off!

shake

Icy frosting glittering early this morning has disappeared with the rising sun, Lancer caught in mid-shake contributes dust into the clear atmosphere, all buckets reported frozen, chickens timid about the chill outside their little door, no cat interest in venturing forth, oblivious dog delighted to run around the hood, extra gloves needed caring for cows across the lake, Saturday sailing quickly by with little to no wind.

Happy T-day, be safe and enjoy!

rain2

Wet water weeping from the dark dismal day, stepping right out – though hay is served in the barn – Lancer is a bit of a honey badger and enjoys whatever is dished outside, Rev not so much, preferring shelter and a return to the warm house where cooking occurs, smells soothing, families gathering for T-day tomorrow – Happy Thanksgiving – so much, so grateful, so humbled by it all…

Surprising Snow!

frosting

Surprising the chickens with snow, frosting even the Weather Horse ears, hoof prints lead to the hay pile as precipitation seems to lessen, Rev delighting in the frozen buffet forming large poopcicles to run off with – not to bring in the house – chores done and a crowd has formed around the woodstove.

Welcome to the New Week!

head on

Low light in biting high pressure air with a surprising wind to brace against, wandering back towards the barn wondering where is the hay? Morning clear and sun to come, coat is fluffed for insulation, tummy wide with a comfy layer of fat, scratching on the lilac followed by a resounding shake releasing a major cloud of dust to dissipate and disappear quickly – like time into the void.

Wicked Cold Sunday

friends walk

Out for a walk with friends yesterday at the bottom of Meeting House Hill on a cool and sunny Saturday morning, still dark out now at the start of Sunday with a roaring of wind, plummeting temps, a promise of winter’s wrath for the day, dogs sleeping in front of flames rolling within the woodstove, in the barn extra hay served inside so it will not blow away, ice broken out of buckets – let the ice pile begin!

a gray wet day…

washed

Limited light and light rain washing color from the world, slowly filling water buckets, cool but not enough to freeze, eager hay eating indicates a lack of nutritious grass available, cavalier conversation with Rev consisting of undiscoverable subjects, pattering drops on the greenhouse announcing the coming of a gray wet day to end the week.

a gray wet day

Frosty, Pretty Morning!

dog run

Sparkling reflections of angled rays – dancing in a miniature matinee, frosty morning forms a poopsicle treat buffet – for racing dogs who have lost their way, investigating the yards and fields – beyond the borders of our yield, Lancer eats the icy cover – while his offered hay remains looked over.
