[RC] Horses and Snow/Blizzards - Ridecamp Guest

==========================================

Hi Lisa,  I'm in CO also and I have a WarmbloodX mare who will not stay in the 
barn during heavy snows/blizzards.  In her case she doesn't like the sound of 
snow sliding on the barn roof.  The snow will slide off in large chunks 
depending on the snow volume and it scares the you know what out of her. I 
suspect that she got clobbered by one of these slides in the past so she just 
stays up on the hill away from the barn.  She will eat sparingly between manic 
episodes if I take food out to her. Sometimes one of the others will go see 
what she's doing and keep her company.  Didn't you guys just move to a new 
place?  If so, could be a combination of not being settled in yet and some 
phobia of snow/barn relation.  It took my mare a good 6 months after we brought 
her here to feel secure then the darn horse chasing snow had to get her.  Good 
Luck and try not to stress to much.  She'll work it out.  Lynn
