Good horsie

Yesterday we got into the high 40's, and it was nothing short of tropical! I took the opportunity to clean Lucy's paddock, which was revolting, but it's difficult to stay on top of that horrible task when it's snowing or in the single digits more often than not, and everything freezes by the end of the day.

I will say that as a rough boarder, cleaning the paddock in the dead of winter is by far the WORST chore.

I rode last night, just for twenty minutes or so, and just at the walk. Lucy wore Maddy's side pull, which she seems to like! She was pretty tolerant of the one-ear headstall, too.

It was so nice to be in the saddle. Lucy was very sweet and behaved herself nicely.

I just love those fuzzy ears!

    I think one eared headstalls are possibly the most adorable things ever.

      AGREED! It's funny when some people look at them and say, "Is your bridle broken? You should get a new one."

    I totally agree paddock cleaning is horrible in winter, I can't imagine with snow. What a good girl Lucy, love the bridle!
