Snow, snow and more snow...

So as I'm sure most people have noticed, New England is currently buried in amounts of snow so immense that the likes of which have not been seen since the 90's. I was really enjoying it at first, but with that lovely layer of ice sandwiched in between the layers of snow it's been impossible to ride in. The ice is very sharp and all the horses have some little cuts from trying to move beyond the area my husband plowed with the tractor.

The horses have given up trying to go anywhere and stay close to the barn and the plowed area. They are starting to get their own equine version of Cabin Fever I think. Blankets are getting mussed and the slightest thing provokes them into spooking and prancing.

Oh and when it isn't snowing it's been bitter cold. We had temps below zero more than once the past week or so. Today is a  balmy 29 degrees, it feels like a heatwave!

I'm getting so desperate to ride that I just may try hopping on UK and just walking around the plowed area.

Well that's it for now. There is nothing to do and nothing has been happening except the daily grind of snow removal and barn chores. 

Toodles.
