Good Morning on this snowy day! A good day for getting out there a bit early.
Feeding will take a bit more time and pulling blankets is an excellent idea...because...they are going to roll and run!
My lessons have all cancelled; no one wants to cope with the grooming...whoozes!
So, think I will spend some time in the tack room; want to put some new bits into seasoned bridles and all the blankets need checking for repairs. I have also put a few halters back on hooks for time to clean them throughly...like today.
Before I go back to the house to "get a bean" I will load up the tackroom stove for heating. Mucking isn't so tough since I'll use the tractor and just touch up most stalls.
I know lots of folks who will be bored today, having to stay inside. Lots of grumbling going on in the wide world about starting cars and not keeping appointments...some of the actions I WON'T HAVE to deal with today.
I am grateful to God for Snowdays! HippyHip...

Well, here in Montana we don't just get the snow, we get cold. So part of my day is chipping ice off water tubs and hauling warm water to the horses in stalls with runs. It's a great time, winter is. Gives a body time to think about starting the colts and fillies and getting back on the coming three year olds who have been turned out to think. I train, raise and teach team sorting and penning and it's been the funnest part of my horse career. Watching horses and people working cattle is a hoot. Every one forgets their fears and is totally focused on working cattle. So in the winter we started a club for team sorting and team penning. Today is a sorting date. It will be too much fun. I have between 5 and 10 students who participate, so it's a busy day for me and on top of that I am taking a new mare today. She is coming along well, so might as well get our feet wet, so to speak. So, in the cold and the snow have fun and think about the coming spring and getting those babies started and those youngsters brought along. Stay warm and happy trails.
