When any one inquires of me how is Ansel doing? I always respond by saying, "He's still going, he's the energizer bunny in 4-low (4-low, referring to a how slow a 4x4 pick up goes in 4-low) He doesn't go very far very fast, but he keeps going".
When I saw this trailer parked at the Shilo Inn up the street, I turned around, drove back and made Ansel get out of the car to let me take this picture. The trailer was in town for the Hot Air Balloon Festival that was going on that weekend. One of the balloons was the "Energizer Bunny".
What keeps him going is feeding his horses every morning and every night. We have an elec golf cart with a utility bed on the back, I load the hay for him, and he drives around and feeds every day. For the horses in the barn, I wrestle the hay bales around, and put the hay in front of the stalls and then he feeds each one. He's been using a cane since Christmas, and takes that with him on the cart to feed the horses. I do the watering and take care of the fencing (such as it is) but he still feeds his babies every morning and every night.
In this picture Ansel is giving long time friend Judy Moorehouse a tour of the horses. Note the Mercedes emblem on the front of the cart. :0) When it's muddy or snowy the cart never misses a beat with the rear chains on.
