Last night, we got another 5″ or so of fresh snow dumped on the farm. After clearing the driveway (again), clearing paths to/from the barn (again), breaking ice (again), and finishing morning chores, we came in for coffee. We were originally scheduled to trailer ponies to a pony club games practice, but it was cancelled. So, Anna and I decided to call the next door neighbor for some babysitting after lunch. We saddled up King and Calli and headed out for a trail ride. There was over a foot of snow on the trails. Mack got to come along, but Turbo stayed home. We did encounter fresh snow mobile tracks, but no actual machines and no people. We got to work on Calli and crossing icy water. We will need to continue to build this skill. We spent an hour on the trails, and even though we only walked, I think the horses got a pretty good workout trudging through the winter wonder land.
Lucy also got to venture out into the snow with her kids, Red Maple and Oak.
