winter...it is winter right?

I go out to the barn this morning to find rivers of melting water. Nothing like 8 above in winter to make life at the barn a slippery mess. Be very careful when leading horses, and try to stick to the paths others have taken. I have put down some sand/shavings where I have to lead the horses to bring in and out which helps, but if you try to walk on the fresh snow, you may find ice underneath!

Another note, is to watch out for Ginger a bit. She is supposed to be on limited exercise due to a paw injury, so I would prefer she stayed in the barn, or on supervised outings. It is hard to limit her though, as now she is on some medication she feels so much better and doesn't want to be stuck close to me!

Lessons this week will focus on things similar to last week; riding broken lines and using jumping at an angle to make the lines easier to ride.
