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.

Guilty.

The Weather Horse aided and abetted the escape of two dogs yesterday when he unlatched his stall door in broad daylight and set them free to roam the neighborhood. This blatant display of horseplay has resulted in the implementation of bungee cord closures to ensure the security and safety of dogs left at home. The day is warming up with sweet sunshine, gentle winds, building humidity with a chance of some showers later, the trash is being collected noisily by hard working men in bright neon green, a happy cardinal cheers them on, bug clouds luxuriate in the shady spots while Lancer plots his next mischief.

Another Stunning Summer Day

The Weather Horse reports another stunning summer day! Clear skies for now, rising temps in high pressure and delightful dry air, dew drying fast, busy birds with new families, wild turkeys wandering, Rev curious, Sterling stalking, Little John sleeping in on the couch while the outside world awakens!

Welcome to the New Week!

back in the yard

The Weather Horse, 29 July 2013, reports Little John off on a neighborhood romp after sneaking out the open door, partly cloudy, partly sunny with humid air, titmice in the berry bushes, recently quenched gardens and grass, water buckets full from the rain, deerflies thick in the woods, blueberries abounding, welcome to the new week!

Slept In

slept in

The Weather Horse slept in this rainy morning, seems to be clearing for the afternoon, very light wind with still cooler temps, grass and garden nourished again, sweet summer songs and robins worming, rain water collected, life moving on…

with Rev out front

The Weather Horse reports a cool start with fall like temps, refreshing gentle winds drying the ground again, cloudy with chance of rain and struggling grasses, Rev subdued after walking off with some people and their poodle, great day to be outside, enjoy the reprieve from the high heat and humidity, it may be back soon!

Blissful Summer Morning

The Weather Horse, grateful to be let back onto the party grounds, reports Rev took off, mostly sunny skies with charming NW breezes bringing in changing air, freshly watered lawn and gardens rejoicing in fabulous summer temps, crows in the field, chipmunks in the wall, blissful morning awaiting the day.

Happy to be Back!

tent

The Weather Horse reports the party was fantastic, The Installers were an awesome band, many people brought me treats and I watched them dance on the lawn from my corner, the fireworks were terrifying, but I survived in my stall with lots of hay, it is raining today with thunder and the human has let me back into the yard, the tent is gone now, and things seem much the same after days of celebration and all sorts of commotion, family and friends, peaceful rumbling with intermittent rain drops welcome in the gardens and lawn, grateful for all and happy to be back!

Abundance at Times…

hay is in

The Weather Horse, 17 July 2013, reports summer heat is on with mostly sunny skies, thriving insects, thirsty gardens, the barn is filled with the scent of freshly cut hay – the most wonderful thing to have a supply of hay – many thanks to all who made this possible, life is full and abundant at times!
