Quarter Horses and Paint

Yesterday I went out on a trail ride with a group from the barn.  It was cold, icy and windy, but we did it anyways.  All I can say is layers are your friend up here in the cold, harsh North. Of course all the horses were full of piss and vinegar and we didn't think we'd get out very far due to the unknown depth of ice layering the snow. We got out and found that the ice was fairly thin and broke easily underfoot and no horse slipped the entire way.  It did start to blizzard so we decided instead of going another loop around to just head back in, we were out for some time by this point. ~Grell~ 

So the year didn't start off as great as I thought it would and my emotions have been racing through my mind, but I must go on with life. What this post is mostly about is that today I finally got the saddle on Chloe!  I didn't think she'd be big enough, but my little pony sized quarter horse is big enough for an adult saddle.   I didn't get any pictures because the camera wasn't close enough and I was holding her, but there will be pictures as everything progresses.   ~Grell~
