Same ol' Same ol'

After the big cold front that blew through in January we did have a bit of a warm up period. The temperature went up into the thirties and it was actually warm enough to ride without a sweater or a huge coat.
The bad thing about working through the winter is the fact that it is dark by the time I get home from work. After riding the horses at work I did manage to ride my own horses about 3 times a week, but I wish I had time to ride my own more often.

So after the little bit of warm up, last week it snowed 12 inches, which is not exactly common here. Then it snowed another 5 inches last night. I did go out and ride Pepsi and Java in the snow, and they were feeling SOO good! Java was so fresh, and had a bit of a hard time listening, but he didn't do anything naughty and we ended the ride on a relatively good note. Pepsi was also plenty fresh, but she has always been better at containing herself. =]
Yesterday we turned the three horses out into their bigger field for a bit of a run. They always look forward to this, and spent ten minutes running, bucking, and rearing.

I am sure I will say this many times before winter is over... but, while I do enjoy cold weather and snow, I also look forward to a more consistent temperature. And I definitely look forward to longer days!
