We have not ridden since Veterans Day. November got busy and cold. It rained 10 inches in December AND we had a white Christmas! Yay! The boys have had their shoes pulled and are happily barefoot in the woods. Hopefully that will help strengthen their hooves so they will hold their shoes better. They have had an exciting winter so far with hundreds, maybe thousands of trees cracking and splitting and falling down around them. They are alternately wet and muddy and dry and muddy. :) Everybody looks good: Brady and Star are furry, Zigs is pretty lean, and Jupiter and Buster are pretty fat.
Lynn and I are envious of Alisa, who is starting another class. She is going to take Odie, who will be happy to be with her. He is not as smooth as Keota, but the two of them trust each other and Odie will help ease Alisa back into the saddle after a year off. I sure wish Jupiter and I could take some classes together--I know I do a lot of things wrong with him and I would like to be a better rider. I told Lynn I am nervous to ride anyone else, since I have gotten comfortable with how Jupes and I do things and it would probably not work with another horse. :( I also hope he calms down some this next year and stops throwing temper tantrums when we are on the trail.
In two weeks we get to hang out at the Bull & Gelding Sale! I can hardly wait.
