Pheeny and I went for a short ride around the driveway. She is getting big and she finds the cinch a little uncomfortable now, so for a short ride I did not bother with it. She is 170 days along in her pregnancy and is getting big.
We had some fun and it was great to be riding her again, we have not gone out for a ride in almost a month so it was nice. She can ride until February/March but Jan-March are usually the coldest, snowy months so she may get out of work sooner ;).
We have been getting a lot or rain/snow mix and I hate it! I like the snow, but hate the rain. And when it rains and then drops a few degrees and turns to snow, then its a slippy, icy mess. I am looking forward to about 1 foot of snow. Right now Misty and Buck are sore because they are used to wearing shoes and their shoes were pulled off for the winter (so they do not slip and hurt themselves) and the mud is hard on the ground and that makes their feet tender. So a foot of snow will do us all good....softer footing for the horses.....and I will not have to worry about the mud in their hooves causing thrush.....and of course a little tobogganing never hurt anybody!
