Quiet & Mild Winter

The snow was melting again this weekend! So far, it has been extremely mild this winter. The snow comes but seems to disappear even quicker! It's wonderful weather for the horses and especially riding! Yesterday it was 10 degrees in the indoor area. Above you can see that the snow is melting slowly in the outdoor as well, but it's not quite ready yet for riding.

The horses are enjoying this weather very much. They are able to go out every day to enjoy the quiet mild weather. Everyone, expect Whiscalina, is exercised on a regular basis. Kionus is enjoying his training this winter which varies from dressage to jumping. His favorite type of exercise is actually free jumping, which he also does once a week. He's going very nice. Hopefully, the weather will continue to be like this so that we can go over to New Brunswick later this month to attend a clinic with Sue Fraser.

Whiscalina has been on break since early January. She was doing everything we could ask for. Although, she's not ridden right now she still continues to learn. Just like Kionus, she enjoys her weekly free jumping exercise very much. She's got a very interesting technique. Other than that, she's behaving extremely well for a 3 year old! Can't wait till spring is here, so that she can be ridden outside and come with us to different places simply to look around and become familiar with everything!
