I took Gypsy out for a ride yesterday and today. The weather has been blissfully warm (above zero for the past several days), so I wanted to take advantage of it before we lost it.I just rode her in the bareback pad and rope hackamore and mostly walked/trotted around my brother-in-law's property where the snow is nice and deep and untouched. So less chance of her slipping -- like on the road where it's packed and icy.
She started out moving pretty forward like she usually does, but bumping her back and/or turning circles in deep snow eventually got her to slow and relax. She seemed to enjoy the break 
as much as I did. I didn't have an agenda... just wanted to enjoy the rides as much as possible! The sun on the untouched snow was stunning. It was so nice and quiet and clean and peaceful. I really enjoyed it. And Gypsy got a couple pretty good workouts in that snow!
