Spring?

Nope, not yet. But the 40 degree day was a nice change. Let's continue to hope for more warm weather so we get some serious snow melt to help with the excavation work for the arena.

The horses were running and playing today, enjoying the warmth. I'm noticing that Little Creek is beginning to shed his long guard hairs. He's the first one to begin the process. Thunder, with his exceptionally long and thick coat will be next in line. I'm amazed each winter at how each horse has a different coat. Some are short and thick, others long and soft. The dun horses tend to really change shades, while the grey horses get very light colored. Shy has probably had the most extreme color change. She's showing heavy barring on her neck and withers which I didn't see in the summer. Few of them have the distinct leg barring this time of year but I do look forward to seeing Destiny shed out as she's got some real distinctive dun marking. Her blonde highlights in her mane are to die for!!

Think spring for us please!
