When life sends you a snowstorm....
Get a bunch of friends together for a trail ride!!
Here in SE PA we're bracing for another nor'easter comin' from Texas (thanks y'all). But hey, it's February in PA and having lived here all my life - I actually look forward to the snow.
Love watching the horses play in it, and it makes me take the time to do something fun - like ride with friends! Anyone else making plans??

When we had this winter's first big "snow event" (as the local forecasters like to call them), I decided to take my 4 year old OTTB for his first bareback trail ride. I figured the 10" of fluffy white stuff would make a nice cushion for me if he didn't like me sitting on him bareback! He was totally unconcerned, and we had a nice ride.
If we get enough snow I'm going to remember to take a camera when I go out riding - the snowy trees are so beautiful!

I'm planning to complain a lot. There may be stomping, shouting and very pointed comments directed at a higher power. I don't know, I'm keeping my options open.

Don't worry, this is what happens when we're clearing the drive and doing the chores in the snow!

I've seen more snow this winter in VA then I did the year I lived in CT... Yeah Global Warming.
I'm going to be too pooped to enjoy the snow for all the extra work it brings.

Of course this is after all the work, as I have a pretty good feeling my stall mucker won't make it out, so 18 stalls later, putting out hay b/c DH will be out plowing and YES - I still love the snow!!
It's God's way of saying - be kids again - now go out and play!!
