Has anyone read this book?

Has anyone read the book Everyday Training: Backyard Dressage by Mary Twelveponies?  Someone mentioned it on a forum I was reading and it sounded interesting, but I can't find anyone who has ever heard of it to see if it's a worthy buy... have any of you read it?  Here is the link to it on Amazon.  Thanks for any information you can share!

Pretty Snow!


We got a little bit of snow (okay more like freezing rain, but it looks like snow lol) so of course I had to get some pictures of the ponies (yeah I know I don't actually have a pony, but that's what I call them anyways).  :D  It was sooooooo bright outside that I was totally snow blind so the pictures aren't great.  I could barely see the LCD screen to tell if they were in focus or in frame for that matter.  Here are the ones that turned out best.


We took a bucket of alfalfa chaff out and made little piles all over the snow for the horses to enjoy.  In the above picture Chrome is so focused on the bucket he didn't even notice the alfalfa on the ground.  Hubby showed him the pile on the ground and it was game on from there!


Faran says move it shrimp!  This is my pile!  They had so much fun.  It was great watching the silly boys licking the ice clean hehe.

 Yummy alfalfa!

 This is how hubby breaks the ice on the pond for me when it isn't too thick.  :)

I LOVE this shot!  Look at that gorgeous blue sky.  

Zep hates snow.  It balls up in his feet.  He wasn't caring too much while stuffing his face on alfalfa though lol!  Don't worry he didn't get much of it (too rich for donkeys) since he is the lowest on the totem pole the other boys kept him from getting much and that's why we kept each pile small.

 I like this one even though it's super blurry.  It looks like they are ice skating!

One more of cutie Zeppers.

I didn't take many because my hands were hurting soooo bad!  It's cold outside!

I can finally talk about her (also Chrome is fine)...

This is the last picture I ever took of Storm.

I finally wrote about Storm on my other blog at myfarmerlife.blogspot.com.  Also Chrome is fine from falling the other day.  He's also much more respectful.  Silly horse.
