March is here!

The weather has broken; the days have been glorious. It's March and time to XC School!! Settling nicely after the roughest February in the record books, the horses are coming into spring with decent girth size and muscling. The plan is to get lots of outdoor work in this month, as we have literally been closed in an indoor for weeks.

April is the beginning of the show season for us, as we plan for Redland with Tex, Tie and Natalie. Emma has been doing a really nice job on Natalie, who is finally not looking quite as portly. The work ethic is definitely starting to come along as well. I am taking pictures of the horses this month so all can share in their appearance without blankets, finally!

Goodbar is on Jeanette's radar as a potential lease and Harley is coming along nicely after his infection episode. The outdoor will soon be useable, as the stubborn residual snow takes a shot of spring weather. The barn is holding up nicely with the wear and tear of winter, now passing gently into warmer weather.

Lessons are on and everyone feels the success of their hard work; though I am sure we all questioned the validity of outdoor activities with true concern at some point this winter. Welcome to spring; let's event!
