When It's Cold I'm Not Happy

   Last week it was warm, like 40's and low 50's warm, the ground was thawed, the snow was gone, I was HAPPY. Now we are back to low 20's and below, I am NOT happy about this!!!! I have a knee and shoulder issue so when its this cold they cramp up and it sucks. I just want to ride my ponies :(
 I rode all last week so I'm not super worried about it,I'm just going crazy. Now I know some people are like "But you have an indoor arena!" Dear people, its got three windows and no door. ALL WIND COMES IN! Plus Super Kid can't deal with being in that indoor, this is the only one and I'm guessing its because
its small and she feels closed in, but we will trot the whole time and still be wired about being in there, its incredibly irritating.

Thanks Bobby for the new saddle pad!

 This is a  about the cold post, nothing new is happening, just the same winter cold and stiffness. On the plus side I have decided to definitely take Rhyme to Heartland CT. Plus my friend who does H\J is thinking about coming to the dark side and doing some eventing so she is taking her baby Indy, so I'll get her to take pictures of Rhymeykinz first big fancy event horse show

                  

Lets get this party started!!!

    Lets talk about this show seasons instead of this nasty winter stuff. Lets get one thing out there, I like snow until New Years, after that I'm done with it. I have a ton planned for this year, I am getting a re-train\resale project Morab who will hopefully be sold by fall at the latest, as well as selling Irmingarda to be a childs hunter, because why not?
   Of course lets not forget about the subjects of this blog Super Kid and Rhyme!!!

being a good horse

Before she took off, psycho

   Anywayyy,,, my game plan this year is for Super Kid to go to Penny Oaks and IEA definitely,, possibly Greater Dayton and some at the KHP, we will continue our fitness rides and get as fit as possible. Continue with our lessons with Dom dressage and jumping, hopefully cross country schooling because I have actually never gone xc schooling before. I need to start working out to be at the top of my game for this spring, she's still pretty fit, for not doing much over the winter. As soon as possible start jump schooling over small stuff, get our basics DOWN! Work on our dressage skillz ( I have that downloaded onto my phone, pre-dressage warm-up, I think YES!)
   Rhyme is going to Heartland CT which will be his first show, nice and calm (hopefully) I took a lesson on him and it didn't go to great, he was nervous, neighing, paying zero attention, just being a jerk and finished it off by getting his tongue over the bit which he has never done. So he will be going MANY places, just learning that the traveling this is okay. He's growing and maturing still so I give him a little leeway in being immature but he knows where the line is and if he crosses it he's in trouble.
 So lets all look forward to this warm weather, keep riding and, go eventing!

Winter,nobody likes you go away

    I have nothing to blog about, Its been in the lower 20's clear down to negative 30 with wind chill regularly this winter. That weather is not suitable for riding equines. My indoor isn't all the way closed in, has three huge windows and a front door. All those holes don't have shutters or doors so its cold and drafty when its miserable out.  ITS JUST NOT FUN!!! Also my senior pictures will take place of new pony pictures for a bit, Thanks to Jeremy and Vickie Photography!!!!
