A HOW TO BLOG

Sometimes getting the job done can get a little tricky.  We had an old water trough at a spring on the mountain that had gotten demolished, probably by the elk.  So we had to figure out a way to haul a new trough up to the spring.

We packed the tools and post pounder up on Clay's horse, Miah.  She was a trouper.  It was a heavy load.

After several attempts to figure out how to load the trough on the horse, we decided putting a rope around it and dragging it up the mountain was our best option.  

Clay's horse, Montana,  didn't mind a bit, but the mountain was steep and it was hard work for the horse, so we had to trade off.
Josie is already thinking we are all nuts.

I had a video of Josie's reaction.  She was not pleased at first.  Then she settled down and pulled with no problem.  This is Goucho's turn.  He also handled the job like a pro.  

We arrived at the spring.  The horses were happy to have a break.

This was the old trough.  It was a lot bigger. I am glad we didn't have to drag it up there.

Assessing the situation.

hmmm...

woohoo, success!

Very tired pup.  Cato

Clearly I was working hard.
