Love the pictures!!!! I agree that last one is a winner.
We got about 14 inches of snow New Years Eve night, and our furnace died! We have a wood stove we seldom use anymore, but keep for such emergencies. We used to have prolonged power failures and fuel oil so the woodstove was almost a necessity. Now we have natural gas and a generator so we have fewer emergencies.
I love riding in the snow, but our yard is a huge sheet of solid ice under the snow and I can't get my horse out of my yard safely to ride.

Submit photos where? For what? huh? I'm confused..
And yes I love riding in the winter too, but I don't have much time in the winter because of school and working as a ski instructor on the slopes.

What are you taking in school? We are lucky here as far as winter, if we do have snow, it's barely a skin of it, though we do have below freezing weather. Firefly grows about double the coat of all the horses around her during these times so I can just see her looking at the horses all blanketed up and smirking and calling them sissys  On the down side, our summers can get up to 120 degrees during the day and when it's like that, It's best to just let her relax in the shade during the day. She has an overhang that shades half of her stall and it's about three times higher than the normal cover height so it doesn't hold the heat in and radiate it down to her. Firefly has a 'bed' she made for herself in a corner of the stall. When she was at the other ranch, someone else was cleaning her stall and they kept covering over her 'bed'. I told them over and over not to touch it but they kept covering it until I had a strong talk with them. When we moved to the next ranch, I took a big bucket and filled it with the top dirt from her bed. I went into her new stall and dug a depression into it, then refilled it with light puffy substrate and then poured the substrate from her old stall on top of that. That's where she immediately started sleeping and never dug at it. It was fine just the way it was prepared. |

lol I'm a jr in high school!
That's cute how she makes a bed. I had a pony who would sleep on a blanket. I slung it over his back one day and then got distracted with something else, and when I went back outside later that afternoon and he was taking a nap on it!

Here is one place you can submit photos www.iamhorsesavvy.com/horse/horse.htm. Every year they have a photo contest. There is info on the website for that too. I love this calendar. It has a place in the back to keep track of all of your horses needs (vet, farrier, shots, breeding, etc.). I get one every year and love all the pictures. I keep thinking I am going to send in some pictures, but haven't yet. Maybe this year. ;D |
