So... I cheated on my horse yesturday . Shhh - don't tell him but it was great. We couldn't get out of our driveway so my daughter, her friend and myself went to have a lesson on lesson horses. I rode a little pony by the name of little V. I think she is only like 14'2 so compared to my 15'3 horse she felt very small. It was a hoot - she has a bit of attitude and didn't give anything away but it was fun to try something different. We did a little jumping (which she isn't fond of by the way)...

No not ice.... now it's snow. Snow, snow and more snow. They are saying up to a foot. Should I cry, stomp my feet, scream, I don't know maybe do all three? I am tired of winter. That is it -I am just sick and tired of it. I believe Buster and Loki have had enough too. Had enough of being couped up and enough of the winter blahs. I can't believe the weather - yesturday it was almost 40 degrees (yep 40 can you believe it and today we are getting a blizzard - not fair I am telling you - just a tease...

He wouldn't want me to say that about him since he a big guy - very macho indeed. Anyway, may shedding season soon be over and spring be...

Ok - so I have lived in Vermont my whole life and not until now have I disliked winter sooooo much! Now -I must admit that before horse ownership I haven't spent that much time outside in the middle of February (always been a cold girl) and certainly not picking up poop but now it is part of my every day accurance. Give me a warm, sunny day in May and maybe only riding my horse seems like a better idea. I then relish paddock duty but not today - today I am sick of the ice! My yard is like a skating...

Well.... Ok, so this is my first journal entry so I thought I would give a little background into this passion of mine called horses. I was never one of those little girls that was gaga over the equine and begged my parents for a horse. As a matter of fact when I was 5, my brother (who happens to be 6 years older then me) had a pony that he decided he didn't want anymore and my parents actually gave me the option of keeping the pony and having Trigger (yup I know the name ) be mine. Now how...
