Warm Winter Weekend In January


It was wonderful to have a warm weekend (Between +1 and +8 C). Saturday was sunny and relatively warm.  Sunday was cloudy and very warm.  We spent the weekend riding/training the young ones as usual.  AND we also managed to get out in the fields and trails on a few of the horses!

On Saturday, we rode Spirit and Ali around the big field for a couple of hours and then after Duckie and Max joined us, up Lelands we went!  Total mileage was somewhere between 8 and 10 miles.  The horses were really fresh; quite a handful...oh the fun!

On Sunday morning, I went up Lelands again (on Spirit) with Max and Duckie.  We had a great canter....probably a solid couple of miles!!! It felt sooo good!  Then, Sunday afternoon...Pam showed up and before you know it, we had her saddled up and riding Adios!  First time in a saddle and trotting. Caught a bit of it on video along with other highlights of the weekend: (Yep, there's a typo in the video)
