Well, I hope everybody is surviving the deep freeze we've been having! I had lessons planned this week, but I have my limits: if it's not safe to drive, or dangerously cold, all lessons will be cancelled.
I'll let you know if that happens, but if you have a time booked and you're not sure if you we're going ahead, you can reach me by phone or text or email, whatever is convenient for you.
At this point, there won't be much riding until we can get into the corral with the snowblower, or we get a thaw, whichever comes first! The snow is now higher than the red windowsills on the east side of the barn and I've spent a lot of time shovelling around the gate. The path to the manure pile is completely drifted over, which means I now have a new manure pile just outside the barn door. But the good news is, the water tap thawed out today and we have running water again!
The horses are fine but do appear to be getting bored! There's not much for them to do, other than eat, which is just as well because in weather this cold they need to eat more.
Usually in winter I don't ride much. Moving snow and manure takes up a lot of time! But despite all my complaining... I'm still thankful for this job.
