No, it sure didn't feel like
Winter today! Sunshine, wonderful clear skies & temperatures that rose above 50 degrees! I'd been invited to ride & couldn't go :-( It would have been a longer drive, to what looked like a really nice area, so I hope I'm invited next time! Too much paperwork for me to do. :-( I will be so
very glad when I'm done with it all...

| Farah on the move~ |
By mid-afternoon we'd caught up & drove out to our storage to bag another couple weeks worth of supplement. We always try to keep a large enough supply on-hand that if we're called away unexpectedly - Farah won't run out.
With a strong wind blowing, Butch brought our girl out & she was
So happy to see us! It made me feel bad - that our visits this month - have been so sporadic. Farah also seems to have a better understanding with the crazy gelding in the run next to hers. She was calm, cool & kicked back to enjoy a good grooming. He's as crazy an Arabian as I've ever seen, working himself up into a full body sweat every time we take her away. Even when we close the door, we can here him tearing back & forth & whinnying... A calming supplement might help him.

| Farah & Butch |
It's hard to see, but Farah had a mouthful of grass & as she chewed - the wind blew it back at Butch :-) We'd hoped to let her graze a little, but the ground here is so soft. She left holes with each step - even without shoes. The grass doesn't have the roots that you'd expect & is
So slippery!
At least on the hill, she's learned to handle the slippery nature of the footing & the wind doesn't seem to bother her as much as it used to. We checked out the indoor arena & it's very nice. Here, I think I'll be doing more riding in it - so will have to make up a
lesson plan for us both. She seems to be thriving & has kept herself pretty fit - all good!
