Did you ever care about the weather before owning your horse? I swear, I'm like a make shift obsessed weather girl now.
"What's the precipitation today?!!?"
"Is it freezing rain or just rain??!!!"
"Snow..when? HOW MUCH WIND, I NEED TO KNOW--HOW MANY MPH??!!!"
It's all for the good of my ponyboy
At any rate, it's been relatively mild so far, I think. High to mid 30's
Hell, I'll take anything above 20 with a SMILE!!!
Yesterday afternoon I was able to sneak in time for a fun schooling session.
I haven't done much of this lately do to some hoof re-sectioning that we've been working on (more of that to come as I get more length of time in between for our dramatic results!! All great so far though!)
Laz was definitely wanting/needing some play/mind work
This is when I asked him for a canter on the line...uphill much?

Major zoomies but he was funny and great. He needed a release.

I also had my baby shower at 36 wks..the time is near.
Holy. Shit.

Lucky to have these friends...not a one a horse girl, can you believe it?! Don't worry...I try to bribe all their children to ask for ponies, mwaa haaa haaaa!
Lots of temporary changes coming up.
Winter. Baby. Work. Easing into changes, etc.
I have no idea of how to really plan for it....all I know is no matter what, I hope my animal kids stay safe while I may be busy (and on the days I can't see Laz--ugh boarding an hour away can really be hard), and will be loved by us for life.
I look so forward to riding again. I dream of it often but nuzzling his sweet fuzzy face is a great source of happiness too.
Eeek it's almost baby time!! I can't wait to see him/her. :D I'm glad the weather is mild and that you got some Laz time in.
ReplyDeleteGah! Blogger just ate my comment, boo! Anyway, I think Laz is carrying some "sympathy weight," lol, but I'm sure it is helping him in those arctic temps! Salem is currently snuggled in both a turnout sheet and fleece blanket liner--I know, seems ridic, but it was 39 w/the windchill @ 10:30 pm, and these horses are NOT used to anything below 70!
ReplyDeleteSo excited to see your cute baby boy soon! My niece is visiting next week and I am going to commence Operation Make Her Want A Pony immediately. The plush bouncy horse has already been shipped to Chi-town for X-mas! Muahahahahaaaa
