Here I am again, where it feels like I don't have much to say besides the standard small talk about the weather. The normal rhythms of horse keeping at home continue on.

| Mow that yard |
Weekends of filling the barn with hay, farrier appointments, pony grooming, fence and yard maintenance, and of course the never ending paddock picking and muck heap spreading.
On a nice sunny (spring like, even) winter day, the horses running and loving life, me picking away at chores, truly I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be or anything else I'd rather be doing.
Winter hibernation mode is slowly receding, it's even still been a little bit light outside a few times this past week when I've fed dinner. I'm still working a lot of extra hours, but outdoor time is calling my name more and more and it feels like spring is on it's way.

| Happy muddy creature. The other two are equally filthy, but being paddock dirt colored naturally lets me trick you into thinking I groomed them prior to photos. No such luck with Sophie. |
So, a quick check in. We're here, we're happy, we're all just a bit content and boring. We're commencing End of Winter Motivational Boost now :)
The boys are growing up to be gorgeous critters. <3 They have some pretty athletic moves!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently doing them no favors with the mud and the lack of grooming upkeep, but I think there are going to be some very handsome cobs here come summer!
DeleteSounds like you and I are in a similar boat. We are enjoying the peace and quiet in our backyards while waiting for better weather and to hopefully be more active with our horses. But you have a much younger and thus more energetic group of horses than I. It is fun to see all the romping around in your pictures. And Sophie looks perfectly happy in her mud suit!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think mine might actually prefer to have more to keep them occupied! But, I don't have the capacity right now and that's OK. Quiet, peaceful horses sound lovely :)
DeleteThe boys are growing into handsome horses. We finally have spring weather and now the big clean up can start.
