Happy Belated Birthday to Glory!!


Glory's birthday was on the tenth; she turned 2! She got birthday hugs and carrots. The rest of the horses are doing well. They are enjoying the warm weather, and are shedding their winter coats. We have a new horse coming next week (not our horse but a boarders.) She will be staying with us for a little while, because her owner has to go out of town. We haven't had a new horse join the barn in a while, so it will be refreshing for a little change of pace!

My spring classes are going pretty well so far. I'm taking Intro. to Equine Science. It's pretty easy, especially the beginning of the course, because it was all pretty much a review for me. But, now we are getting into more detailed stuff (cardiovascular system, digestive system, etc.) So, I'm starting to learn a whole lot more. I'm pretty excited for Thursday night! I'm going with my sister and my friend to see the opening of The Hunger Games!! If you haven't heard of it you should look up the trailer, or read the book. From what I've heard the movie is supposed to be pretty good, and the book was amazing itself. I've had a huge lack of sleep lately though, so I might suffer later for staying up so late. It should be worth it though!!

Already 2012...

And it's been forever since I posted! What a crazy winter so far! And I don't mean crazy as in a horrible, snowy winter either, because it doesn't even feel like winter! The biggest snowfall we had so far resulted in a whopping inch of snow with a layer of ice over it. It's a pretty big difference from the really big snow storms we've had over the past couple of years, especially the one that left us with over 2 feet of snow for weeks. It's nice not to have all the extra work to do, but I kind of miss the cold...

There isn't really anything new with the horses. They got stockings full of goodies on Christmas, and they are all doing great. We just need all the mud to dry out (no snow, but lots of rain,) so we can start doing more with them. Spring semester is coming up; I wont have quite as much time to work with them then. But, I do have Tuesdays off (yay!) I'm actually taking Equine Science, and I'm really excited. I love learning new horsey things, and hopefully I'll be able to put my new knowledge to good use. I'll have to share anything fun I learn with you all!
