Winter is such a pretty time of year, the snow gives everything a new look. Beautiful frosted trees, sparkling snow, and the colorful contrast winter brings are eye candy for a visual person like me...and then it warms up, and winter shows it's ugly side.
Yesterday some locations in WI hit 50F, the rain polished off road areas of ice into a smooth slick dangerous surface. Today we are left with that slick ice, dirty snow, fog, mist, mud, and piles of poop. Yuck!!

We fed, scooped what treasures we could find in the near vicinity, emptied the goldmine bucket, freshened up the bedding, and got lots of wet horsey hugs. I am always relieved to see our horses walking carefully in slick area's that can't be avoided, and choosing alternate paths to get around the area's that can.

Slick here too. It's been a rough winter. Happy New year!
Brrrrr, these pictures make me shiver! You have a lovely little herd, I'm so jealous.
Happy New Year and happy trails to Iron Horse! Hope the warm temperatures continue even if they do bring the icky mud. At least Nemo and Koda will be in the clean indoor for riding!
Just a couple days of warmer temps, and the ice is almost completely gone. Back to a very cold, windy day better known as Winter. The good news is we are over the hump, and closer to spring.
Welcome Donna! Happy New Year everyone!!
Yuck is right Aurora! Enjoy the indoor riding at Iron Horse!
Happy New Year my friend.
