Snowy Sunday

This morning we woke up to see a lot of snowflakes! Not too much had stuck from the previous night, but that was about to change. I looked at the barn to see how the ponies had fared through the night and laughed when I saw them.

That's Rocky. Our snow lover. As you can see, the reputation of "hardiness" in Morgans is well earned. 

A little less snow after a shake. Where is Myr you ask? Well, he's demonstrating the reputation of "smartness" the Arabs are known for. ;)

I can happily report that it is still snowing extremely hard and we have gotten at least another foot since the morning photos were taken. I hope it snows 3 more feet! We desperately need anything wet here in Colorado.

Dirt, Static, and Real Horses

It's been so dry and dusty here lately. No amount of brushing can remove the sheer amount of dirt on my two boys - trust me I've tried! It's really time for a bath, but it's been so cold lately there hasn't been opportunity. So, I've been exploring eco-friendly alternatives to pencil and paper on our 2 y/o 100% foundational bred Morgan gelding, Rocky...

He's such a sweetie he has no idea I'm having fun at his expense. He just registers that I'm touching and petting him. My other boy, 5 y/o Arabian gelding Myrlyn isn't as succesful as a dirtboard. He's very light and so the writing doesn't show up. Hubby and I have taken to writing new messages on hem every morning for our own amusement. We're so bad.

Myr has so much static cling from the dryness his tail is spreading out like one of those fiberoptic globe things. No pictures of that yet though.
