I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE SOME WINTER HORSE EVENTS
Sleigh driving comes to mind. Also, sled pulling over icey patches through snow. Loading hay bales and hitching up with frozen fingers. Cleats on the horses' shoes and metal runners, on the sleds, all iced up to glide smoothly. Hides or Fur pelts to cover the laps/legs of people on board. Courses of orange cones set up like Dressage driving runs.
And, just for fun, those Clydesdales kicking snowballs at each other or dumping tree snow cascades onto the unsuspecting yearlings standing under the limbs!!
Yep, have gone around the Winter Bends!
Like a garderner reading up on new seeds for Spring planting; I think everyone who is reading today should go 'shopping' through the ads on this site.
It costs nothing to look and sometimes there is that just-right item that one saves up to buy...for when the cold finally breaks...finally, please Lord! Phf (hope you enjoy a chuckle)

The horse sledding competition would be great fun. I am starting my 1/2 friesian in harness. We are out on the snow in Montana being pulled around in a sled with a 150# bale of hay and me on top. Tons of fun. The filly is starting to really understand how to use her body to pull. It's fun watching her develop and mature and learn.
The weather men are saying more and more winter, but the horses are saying spring is in the air. They are all shedding their winter coats and the mares are starting to cycle. We are sure ready for the sunshine!!
Hope you are warm and dry where ever you are. Check out our website at www.crzyhorsernch.com and look on the calendar for upcoming clinics.
Happy Trails
