Winter Training Journal 4

It would appear that my winter riding window slammed shut this weekend, atleast for a bit, when we got about 8 inches of snow , howling winds and down right bitter temps...

JB is in rare form these days, as he has icicles hanging off of his coat and when he trots by, he jingles, like a thousand little bells going off as he passes by. I couldn't help but giggle at his situation, as initially, it was spooking the dear bairn!

Today, he has settled into it and jingles proudly... it seems as he frolicked back and forth, strutting with Brego in the 3 foot snow drifts. Ofcourse, their horse play resulted in a broken wire and gate latch...

Ah... but for life on a farm in the middle of a Montana winter....

I think I 'll go find my book and rest by the fire...

Similar situation over at my end! the 4 feet of "white death" has put a cramp on my conditioning plans :(
Oh well, the horses all love to frolic in it so much that they are getting *some* conditioning in :)

Stay warm, and enjoy that fire :D
