How true it is

I came across this poem and wanted to share:

"But late at night, when all is still- and I've gone to give them hay,
I touch their velvet softness and my worries float away.
They give a gentle nicker and they nuzzle through my hair
and I know it's where my heart is- more here than anywhere."

February Fun


Finally we are starting to thaw here in MN! We still have miles and piles of snow but they are shrinking little by little. I've had spring fever since December (and we've had snow since before Thanksgiving) so I am glad to see it go.
Having plans to send the horses off to a trainer and blazing trails isn't helping any either! My Mom was referred to a woman trainer who lives around 30 miles away and came highly recommended. One of the gals said that she sent her horse to this trainer and when she was ready to bring him home the trainer said he wasn't ready yet and kept him for 2 more weeks at no charge. I'm going to give her a call and see if she has any openings and if I can come and meet her and see the training place (and maybe her working with some horses). I'm so excited and I hope it's a good fit!!

During the weekend we got some warmer weather in the upper 30's and some wind so Tabasco and Shoni were full of kiss and vinegar.

They're fun to watch when they're spunky. :)
But I like them when they're calm too. :)
