This has been a "weather" week; I'm under the weather, and it's darn cold and windy! But even though I wasn't feeling so good we still got some stuff done. Mesa got some sacking out with a plastic bag.... I thought it would be no problem given that she was sacked out lots last fall, but apparently this year, plastic bags are Horse Enemy #1....
She tried to leave when we brought it close to her. So that merited about a good 20 minutes of just working on that until she would accept it touching her and being able to rub her all over with it on the end of the stick.
The next day, she was much better with it.
The folks coming to see her had a weather delay too, so Feb. 18 they will try again.
We did squeeze in a ride, even though it was pretty cold- not as cold as elsewhere I hear, but the coldest part of this winter for us.
Goose getting a lift
Gussie was not exactly on her best behaviour, she wanted to be all bracy and prancy so we were using this spot to trot circles and create some work for all that energy- Shayla even loped on her mare Rose. Pretty good footing in this type of snow if you can avoid the places that have underlying frozen puddles.
An indoor arena is looking pretty desirable! Hoping to haul at least once this week, maybe Tuesday.
Riding day 9

Shayla must be missing the warmer temperatures. Good for you guys getting out and riding and training. We have ice under our snow, and lots of it, so there is none of that going on here. Soon though! Hope you get better!
Hope you feel better soon! The weather is rotten here too:(
I see Goose is still riding:)
Think old balzac billy (guy in a groundhog suit in Calgary) lied about spring coming early. :P here i was hoping to see the warm spring weather! heck, even the robins were back. then kabang! polar vortex, snow, and headache to boot. some snow is okay, just not for a long period of time. i like it at Christmas. after that, it can disappear :D
