I may have said it before, but I will say it again. "I hate cold weather" I used to say I hate winter, but that is not a fair statement. It is the weather I can't stand. I feel so bad for the horses, but they seem to fair better than I do. We seem to spend our days, just trying to make the horses more comfortable and it turn we make ourselves more miserable. Right now the wind will cut you into and the water from the last flood is just going down.
OK, we have planned a ACTHA ride for March 27, 2010. Please go to their website and take a look at the rules and get your horse ready. This will be a simple trail ride, so don't be intimidated by it. Then we will be hosting, here at Van Bert Farms a more extreme competitive ride. This date is June 18, 19, 2010. This should give you plenty of time to have your horses ready. We will also offer a trail ride that is not judged, so everyone put this on your calendars and I will keep you updated with more info. as everything gets nailed down.
I took this picture this morning. Most of the water has drained from the fields, but you can see with a strong wind and temps in the low 30's we are coooollllda
