Squashed under hoofs.

My stepdad is out of town, so he asked if I would feed the horses over at his house.He/we have two rescued horses.One is a Thoroughbred who was headed for the meat market,another is a former show horse who has cataracts and was given up because his owner didn't want to spend the money to get his eyes fixed.We also have two (very large)sheep who are also rescues--they were a finished 4-H project and were also headed for slaughter.So I will be feeding this motley crew tonight, and although I have plenty of experience with large animals, I haven't fed this bunch on my own before.I hope the horses don't squash me,that always seems to happen to me, I get mushed against a stable wall or almost trampled.Wish me luck.
