Equestrian Journey: Snow!

Friday, January 22, 2016

Snow!

We got about three or four inches of snow last night! It's so pretty! I'm actually kind of glad we don't get snow very often (once a year, sometimes not even that), because when we do it's so magical. :D I didn't get many pictures because I was cold and the mud under the snow is not frozen so my shoes were getting nasty sinking through three or four inches of snow and then four or five inches of mud under that haha. Also the horses were being boring. They were a little playful, but after being out in freezing rain all night they just want to eat hay. I can't really blame them. These pictures were taken with a cell phone so they aren't great. Here are the pictures.

I feel so fortunate to live here!

The only picture I managed to get of them playing. :)

Jackal was having a blast!!

You can see more pictures of him in the snow on my other blog Living A Farmer's Life (click here) and also meet the newest member of the family!! Be sure to check out the post here (click).

Geese!

The only energetic picture I got of Chrome lol.

This is what they preferred to do.

Pond isn't frozen!

I hope you enjoyed the pictures! When my head stops hurting I'll try to get more. :D

Beautiful pictures--though snow is far from my favorite subject. Are you going to be affected by this huge storm they keep talking about? It is missing us.

Dislikes: Being handled at all (his first three years were spent in someone's backyard never being touched), sudden movements and sometimes his bratty pasture mate Chrome. :D

I'm in my thirties, live in the USA and I love horses (obviously). I've been obsessed with Friesians (that's Chrome's purebred Friesian sire in the above picture) for over ten years. I started riding horses when I was five and always had horses from then until 2007 when I found myself without one. I wanted a Friesian, but the budget wouldn't allow for it so I started looking at crosses. I found Chrome (Friesian/Arabian) and I haven't regretted it for a second. I bought him as a five month old weanling in 2009 and I've done all of his training myself. The blog is about our continued journey together as I attempt to make him my dream all around horse who can do anything from dressage, competitive trail riding, driving, mounted archery, working equitation and anything else we want to try. He's still very green and we obviously have a long way to go, but you're welcome to follow along on our journey. I also love dogs, art, photography, writing, reading, fishing, biking, camping, archery and many other things. You can learn more about me on my About Me page, my Equestrian Bucket List page and my FAQ page.
