Looking For a Foot of Snow

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 ;)

Jazz is doing really well! He is a really sweet boy and seems to be fitting in nicely. Ace and Jazz are not totally sure how to play together yet....Ace is much more rougher in his play than Jazz is and so sometimes they seem to have little miscommunications. LOL, the lives of horses!

It was so cute to look out and see Ace watching over Jazz that I had to grab my camera and head out to the horse field. It is a very good sign that Jazz is willing to lie down, he obviously feels secure enough to do so. And it was cute that Ace stood over him and kept him company. What sweet little boys.

Jazz just catching some rays!

Ace has turned into quite a handsome guy. Not the scrawny little fella he was when he arrived but very tall and imposing. He is more mischevious than Jazz is, but also very loving and likes to have all the attention he can get!

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!
