We got some good exercise in while it was still warm. She did very well and was wonderfully behaved.

    Looks like a great time! I’ll be thinking about this arena when we are riding outside in the pasture 🥶

      The arena is barely warmer than the outside lol

        True! We rented time at the arena in town last year and it was nice because it was out of the wind and the ground wasn’t frozen. Still cold, I wanted to wear a glove on my rein hand!

          I have a few pairs of gloves for different barn purposes. A waterproof pair with a grippy material for watering, regular winter gloves for general activities, and a very thin but warm pair with grippy palms and touchscreen finger things for riding.

          The back of my car has essentially become a tack/supply room. The latest edition is the saddle I just got.

    If you would have gotten that photo at an ever so slightly different angle, the light glare could have made her look like a unicorn.

      I was really trying for that but she wasn’t cooperating lol. She just wanted to get attention and go for a walk. She has a lot of pent up energy and I haven’t been able to help her exercise it out lately because the weather has been way too cold for either of us to do anything.

        Cool cool, I hear ya.

        Maybe next time you come close to an awesome shot like that, record it as a video clip, and pluck the best video frame for the photo.

    Her outfit is fantastic; it would be great to see the full thing!

      Here you go! I got the blanket for her last month because I learned she didn’t have her own and was wearing another horse’s blanket. I saw it online and knew it was for her because it matches her halter lol.
