MASSIVE Herd of Canadian Elk Decide to Join the Horses

Minus 22....or 22 below zero....out to feed my horses in Alberta Canada and this is what i find......wish i could feed them all lol but i can't. After this one of my horses was colicky and it became five hours of a frozen nightmare. Luckily he is doing better....he is the boss horse and i think he wouldnt' leave the hay to protect it and his herd and so he did not drink enough water...that and the stress. But all seems good and right now at 1:30am he is fine and the elk have not come back.....but they will.
Thought i'd share a little of the cold western Canadian winter adventures of living out towards the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with horses...and wildlife. Looks like paradise in the Spring and Summer but our winter is up to half a year.....and when it's forty or fifty below....you still have to go outside many times a day to check and feed and water horses. And when someone is sick or hurt....you can forget about ever being warm again lolol..... my legs and fingers were red and after two hours inside wouldn't warm up tonight ...so i had to stand in a hot shower for half an hour. But....i'd do anything for the horses....and beats the heck out of living in the city!
