We May Have Had 2 Blizzards In One Week, But That Can't Keep Us From Riding Outside! (Even if there is a nice indoor arena that we could be riding in)

Here are Allyssa and Luke. This is the first time around so the snow is up to his knees. If we were sane we would be riding in the indoor arena that you see behind her. However it was more fun for horse and rider to ride out in the snow. Although we did ride inside first.




Here are Missy and Magic. Magic loves to push the snow with his nose while he walks around.



Here I am riding Sonny. He thinks the snow is fun to play in. He's so tall that the snow doesn't see as deep to him as it does to Magic!

Here are some videos. Magic really likes to keep up with the other horses. I am practicing cantering Sonny in the snow because he needs to practice cantering without trying to buck. In the snow he has to work to get his feet out of the snow. The practice seems to be helping. Maybe this summer he will canter with less fuss!

Blizzard of February 2010

We kept the horses in during the two day snow storm of Feb 6, 2010 that put about 30 inches of snow on the ground. However once the storm stopped we put the horses outside to play for a little while. Here are some photos of that & a couple of videos. Enjoy!
