Fair-weather Horsewoman


OK I admit it, I'm a wimp! I haven't done anything with the horses these past two days because it's been too cold! We had a BEAUTIFUL day on Saturday (+9C), when I worked with Jake, but then it was back down to -10C on Sunday and -15C today (with a -22 windchill). So... nothing to report. I was wishing for nicer weather, but it just didn't arrive. So I did some more studying of my Parelli Level 1 material and DVDs inside. Lots to absorb! I just have to keep it straight in my head so I don't get it all muddled when I'm working with the horses.

I also splurged and purchased a bareback pad off the internet (one of the risks of being cooped up inside!). Looking forward to when the snow actually melts so I can actually RIDE again. It's so icy around here.... too dangerous to ride. I also researched some of the warmblood studs in and around the area -- thinking of trying to breed Gypsy again this spring. If I can find a good warmblood stud who won't break the bank.
Today's photo shows IndyAnna (left) and an adorable 5-year-old Arab gelding named Yarrow (right) who is boarding at our place. He's for sale... anyone interested?
