The First Snow






We had our first snowfall on Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving.  It was only about 6 -7 inches but it was enough to knock the power out.  I’m glad we have a generator for the house and one for the barn.  They are small but give just enough power to keep the heat and refrigerator and a light or two on in the house.  The barn kept popping breakers but we managed to get water buckets filled from the hose in the wash stall, because the automatic waterers weren’t working.  The power finally came back on Thursday night. 

Here are a few pictures of some very dirty horses.  I don’t know how they can still be this filthy. The minute there was enough snow on the ground they all had a good roll for themselves so some of this mud should have magically disappeared.  I’m sure I know what I can do to keep myself busy for the weekend if I feel like doing lots of grooming!


"Donnie"

"Blue"

"Grady"

"Dusty" who always manages to stay clean. Thank you Dusty.


"Maggie" my other clean girl. 



Until next time

Just Pictures

Since there is nothing much going on here having to do with riding and I'm having a brain freeze (must be the weather) I thought I'd put up some pictures.  Yesterday morning it snowed AGAIN which turned to freezing rain and sleet.

Today we've got sunshine and warmer temperatures (40). I toyed with the idea of getting on Dusty this morning but the path to the arena is a pure sheet of ice so going down hill would be dicey for both of us. Maybe tomorrow when we have a chance of the ice melting...

"Yesterday"
" View down the road"

" Dusty thinks this is getting old"


" Feed Shed"

" Not venturing away from their hay nets"


"Today"

"Rose bushes waiting for Springtime"

"Donnie - very cute and very dirty"

" Sami being his adorable self"

" Finally, a blue sky"


Until next time

Horses in the Snow

Horses in the Snow


There's something so peaceful and magical about horses in the snow. At this busy time of year we could all use a break,so sit back, relax and take a moment to enjoy these images.
