I forgot to ask if you were fortunate enough to have an indoor to ride in. That does help a lot - at least with the wind. I don't have anything like that - I wish! LOL!

You're riding at -11C! You are a lot braver than I am! It's above freezing here - at the moment - but we've had so much rain that there is standing water everywhere. If it's not one thing, it's another.

Have a nice ride!

ps.........sorry it took so long to get back to you.... i just received notice that you had left a message, 10 days later!!!!! ciao!!annie

Hi Rita
I've talked to all but no one has started yet. Probably next week. Pony Club lectures start Jan 13th. Have to get these girls focused on their testing. Their application to test has to be in by Feb 15th.
We are supposed to have weather in the pluses, for Mon tues & wed! Thats not good. Might make the our hill bare and I can head for the arena!
only minus 16 today.

Hi Ritad
Glad you joined Barnmice. We have thawing now, What a mess! Gerry is out snow plowing. I put the horses in the brn last night, their blankets are drying by the wood stove, in the shop.
Have a gret rest of the day
