Chill in the air

We had our first snowflakes today- just enough to put the fear of winter in me. Lasted only 10 minutes though! The horses are feeling the chill in the air, and it's making Gussie quite frisky, she did a lot of rippin' around today when I turned Rio out with the mares this afternoon.

Speaking of Rio, he is starting to look like a horse and not a baby.
He has lost that growthy ribby look and I think he just gets better looking every day!
Don't you think he looks a lot like his sister, Janice's horse, Jazz? (Except for the white!)

when i rode the bus to bc, and had a temporary 5 min stop in canmore, banff, and a few other towns, Iam telling you it was extremely cold! bitterly cold wind made you chilled to the bone. am really happy not to be in alberta this winter!!

as soon as we hit places like kamloops, merrit, hope, was really warm. when we got into cocquitlam, it was warm and breezy:) then when i got home here to port moody, green grass and flowers! :D

boy, aim sooo not going to miss the brutal alberta cold and snow! :D

we had our first snowflakes yesterday - wheeeeee! they fell on and off but didn't stick down here, though the mountains got a good dusting! from where I'm situated I can see the neighbor's horses and not ours... the neighbor's horses were romping and frisking about just like yours! winter's here - yayyyyyyyy! Rio is becoming quite handsome.

Linda said...

His head is getting more pronounced and beautiful. I just love pictures of him. He's wonderful!!

BLCooper said...

I understand how you feel because we just got our first snow 2 days ago and our horses are all worked up, even our puppies got all excited.

Mary said...

I love that picture of Gussie's butt all up in the air, that's funny! Woo hoo!

I was thinking, as I was drooling over the picture of Rio, if he would've known about him when I was around 8 or so (that's about when I got that incurable horse disease), I would have been begging and pleading to my folks relentlessly to buy him, he's just wonderful! It's been such a treat watching him grow and mature.
