Winter came in like a lion! Yesterday we had grass, today more than a foot at White Winter Farm! Chores took a long time, but it was so fun to have the barn busy and just play with the horses!

My November Guest

By Robert Frost

My sorrow, when she’s here with me,
Thinks these dark days of autumn rain
Are beautiful as days can be;
She loves the bare, the withered tree;
She walks the sodden pasture lane.

Her pleasure will not let me stay.
She talks and I am fain to list:
She’s glad the birds are gone away,
She’s glad her simple worsted grey
Is silver now with clinging mist.

The desolate, deserted trees,
The faded earth, the heavy sky,
The beauties she so truly sees,
She thinks I have no eye for these,
And vexes me for reason why.

Not yesterday I learned to know
The love of bare November days
Before the coming of the snow,
But it were vain to tell her so,
And they are better for her praise.

This is too good not to share. In Northern Michigan we have to have grit to have horses. The days get short, the weather cold and wet, and the “winter season” lingers on. But, the winter can be the most fun because we can learn without the pressure of competition, we ride ba****ck in the snow, we get to know our horses in new ways as we cross train, and of course we drink hot cocoa.

Horse world things that CAN be bought---
1. Fancy horses
2. Fancy farms
3. Good saddles and equipment
4. Fancy horse clothing
5. More lessons
6. Ability to travel to ride in temperate climates year round
7. Trucks and trailers

Some of the things that CAN’T be bought
1.Courage
2. Strength
3. Agility
4. A good seat
5. Intelligence
6. A calm and kind nature
7.Feel
8. Perseverance
9. Drive
10. Athleticism
11. Horsemanship.

So which list is more important?

Alright, I’m finally ready for blanket season! It looks like warm, sunny, windy, and scattered showers this week. I know the cold rain is coming and I love being organized and ready! Each horse has a blanket rack and dry extra blankets will be stored in totes.
