frost moon

On the morning I went to the BLM corrals at Cañon City, I had to get up super early and walking out of my room it was like a cold slap in the face the air was so frigid. The truck was covered in frost and I sat in it with the heating on waiting for it to melt and praying for the strength and guidance I needed. Later once I was headed away from that place after making our choices, the biggest brightest moon came up and I looked it up and saw it was called a Frost Moon, so I decided to call one of the boys that. Frosty. He is the grulla the other black horse is Joker. He has a unique marking on his face with a frown painted on in black. Janelle picked him and we decided if he was over 20 we could take him. He’s 21, so we gladly took him back with us and led him to his new forever home! #skydogfrostmoon
