Eating lunch and watching a friend..
Spent a few minutes on some yummy green grass!!
We don't have many deer around our farm but we do have one that likes to have her fawns in our grove and then hang out until fall. Sherlock saw her once and then was more concerned about filling his belly 🤣

Sherlock wants to share a little secret we've been keeping 😉🤫
We recently put up an indoor arena at home! It still needs finishing touches, but it was great to use a little bit today and be out of the brutal SD wind!

Sherlock got his very first piece of custom tack, do you think he looks handsome?
Hopefully, eventually, I'd like to be able to trail ride him in a sidepull halter!

We got to go sledding again this morning 🥳 his second time pulling the sled, and first time in the wide open spaces.
It'll all be melted by tomorrow, but yesterday we got the perfect snow for sledding. Sherlock really seems to like this, he seems pretty content pulling me.
I'm sure it looks rather boring, but I think there's a wide variety of skills needed to do this safely!
All the dogs tagged along, and you can see just how unphased he is by all of them running around! I couldn't get the dogs to ride in the sled, but they were so cute I had to include a pic of them.

Sunday morning drive anyone?? 😂
If you can't tell from his mane and tail in the video, it was windy as heck today. So in that aspect he did extremely well for his first time being ground drove outside a pen, wasn't overly spooky at anything and confident going out as well as doing it solo. However, walking in a straight line? That we have to work on 🤦‍♀️
And then I'll let the pictures tell you how Sherlock felt about that bear strapped to him 🤭 my teddy bear does not have the best posture, he's still a beginner rider

Sherlock got the sunset (ponied) ride tonight
It's pretty magical watching the sky go from the first pic to the last.. everything around us was purple and orange, tried to video but phones never do justice to what it actually looks like.
So if you think South Dakota is just "flat and boring" sure, maybe, but I wouldn't trade it for being able to watch this every night 😍

Sledding with Sherlock!
Because of the cold, the ponies have done nothing but stay fat and happy for the past few weeks. Sherlock did have a bit of energy starting out today but settled down nicely. After some lunging I brought out a rope and started pulling on the saddle. Then we did some ground driving. Then some sled pulling with my new assistant trainer (yup I bought a 4ft teddy bear 🤣) and then we went to the bigger arena and I hopped in the sled and he pulled me a bit!
He is quickly learning stuff behind him while he's walking isn't so bad, as he didn't react near as bad today as he did a few weeks ago when I was ground driving him/behind him.
And eventually the teddy bear will be strapped to the saddle.
This was my one and only chance to go sledding with a horse, I usually use my other mare. But we didn't get much for snow and after today's 50° temps it all melted. So I was glad Sherlock was up for the adventure.

Trying to fit into clothes from last winter 🤭🤣
We can handle cold. And we can handle wind. But when you put them both together I just feel bad for them. Even tho they've got constant food and a barn, I give them blankets for a little extra warmth 🥰

Sherlock wants to know... "how's the weather where you're at?"
In South Dakota, we got our first measurable snow of the season, which is still only a few inches. But between that and the cold, he isn't even bothered! The barn doors are open, but nobody goes in. He does like the alfalfa flakes and warm alfalfa mash he gets tho 😋
