FLAT STANLEY ON THE FARM by Melanie Day

It's time to take care of the horses. Come along and I'll show you what we do. || || || This can be dirty work! Watch where you step...... Come inside the barn and see what we do every day to take care of our horses. ||  || Once a week we clean out the buckets with a brush. Horses need to drink lots of water so we have big water buckets inside and outside. || || || Our horses eat grain for breakfast and dinner. It has oats, corn and yummy pellets mixed with sweet molasses. This is their favorite! ||  || We give them a kind of hay called timothy. They eat more hay in the winter than in the summer because there isn't any fresh grass for them outside. || || The one with the white is named Can't Pass the Cash (Passer) and the other is Centsible Investment (Sharlie). We have another named Impressive Pull Tab (Mona) but she is a little camera shy and didn't want to have her picture taken. ||  || I didn't show you the stinkiest chore of cleaning out the stalls, but we have to do that every day too! I hope you had a good time visiting the barn. Maybe next time we can go for a ride! . || || ​
