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!

Almost Over!

Fall semester is almost over! I've been pretty busy with exams, and finals are this week and next week. I haven't been able to spend a whole lot of time with Pony because of this, which sucks. But once it's winter break, and if the weather cooperates, than I should have some time. My sister and our friend, who boards her two horses with us, decorated the barn today. They hung up Christmas lights, and other decorations. It looks pretty good! They even bought stockings. Now we just have to put the the names of all the horses on them. I'll have to take a picture of it all; they did a good job. There's a lot more to type, but now I have to get back to studying. I'll have to make another, longer, post after finals. Wish me luck!

Busy, Busy, Busy

I haven't blogged in a while; I actually completely forgot about my blog for a while there! I've been so busy with classes and barn work lately. With winter, everything seems to take twice as long, but the horses are worth the extra work. I cannot wait for springtime though. I haven't been able to ride my horse in a couple of months due to bad weather, the ground being frozen (we don't have a riding ring), and being busy. It will be nice to be able to work with the horses regularly again.

Pony (aka:Jasper) seems to love the cold though. He especially loves to eat the snow. He also likes to find bits of ice to eat as well. He usually is very hard on his blanket in the winter. He used to grab the straps on the front of his blanket and run around with them in his mouth. I finally found a blanket that works for him though. Its a Rhino; the one that simply clips in front and doesn't have the buckles. So, I am very happy that I wont have to get him a new one for next winter!

Glory will be a year old in March. Time flies by fast! She's a little devil horse though! She's very spirited and strong willed. I cant wait to start really working with her in spring; she needs to learn to be more respectful to humans! I wish I could post some pictures to show how much she's grown. But I cant, because I lost my camera.... again! I want to buy a new one, a really nice one since I'm kind of into photography. I cant afford to at the moment though. Hopefully soon! Maybe in my next blog I will actually have some pictures.
