As it is pouring rain again, we are under a flood watch, I can barely make it to my car… it just keeps going. I am not planning on teaching this weekend. The few of you that are at covered arenas- I will see you. The rest of us… we will pet the stall bound ponies, give them cookies and watch horse movies!

Over 20 went to freezer camp today. Several orders of meat filled and some amazing pelts collected.

So who is ready for this winter to be over?! I would be ok if it was snow and we could do something… but no this is ice, ice as far as the eye can see.

Like my arena aka ice rink? So over this!

Storm report:

We are all good, minor trees down. Ponies are all hunkered down in stalls with hay bags. No power but bar had things prepped for that. Rabbits are good, 4 litters due now (of course).

Angel has a great plan as you can see :)

We are hunkered down for the storm. Hay nets are full, bunnies have hay, barn dogs are snuggled up with their favorite horses.

Stay safe out there!

Ponies all have blankets on to help fight the wind. Yes they stay warm in the cold and snow but wind is a different story.

Phoenix loves her blanket… the other two don’t seem to have much of an opinion. Phoenix dives to put her head through and swings her head up to toss it on (she thinks she’s helping).

Stay warm everyone!

UPDATED with photo. Anyone know who little man is?

Folks we need your help. Between 6 and 6:30 tonight the Troopers found a young boy, believed to be 10-11 years old who is non-verbal, near the south end of the North Fork.

He has dark medium length hair and dark eyes.

If you know this child or whom he belongs to; please call the Troopers at 907-262-4453 ASAP.

We hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season!

I spent most of the break down with the flu and this fluffy group has let me know they are not impressed with the me not being out to play.

Lessons are starting back up for those that are able to haul in or I can come to you. As always lessons are weather dependent, ice is everywhere so please be careful!

This weather is going to be the death of me! It is now trying to rain again.... making things more slick and more not fun....

For now, unless you have made special arrangements with me I am canceling lessons till the new year, then we can evaluate the weather, footing conditions ect. Spring is just around the corner, and then the fun can continue.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Ice ice baby…

No lessons at my place today, my arena is a bumpy ice rink 😭. I’m very over this, I was hopeful that it would be soft enough for at least walk work but it’s just not safe, let alone trying to walk down the slope to the arena.

Lessons for Nov 30

Temps are still miserable at the barn, I will not be doing any lessons before 12. If you have a lesson before then consider it canceled and we will try again next weekend. Hopefully it warms up just a bit.

12 and on lessons: shoot me a text before you head over, I’ll let ya know what the temp is. No riders under age 12 (below that are “fine” as we watch them turn blue and chatter) at 12 I can reason with them a bit.

Please bring coolers and blankets for horses if you haul in. If they need to dry before you leave and you don’t mind dogs and cats we can do hot coco in the house.

See ya (maybe) tomorrow!
