But it kinda threw a wrench into all our weekend plans. It went from -28 with windchill to +6 on Saturday and +10 both Sunday and Today. The barn started flooding on Sunday as the water just couldnt flow away from the barn fast enough. Thankfully one of the kids parents owns an escavator and he came in and dug out an existing ditch (that was packed full of ice and snow and kept the water from draining). Most of the driveways are Ice free now, and the snow bank next to the barn that was 7feet tall is now 2 feet tall.
Lucas (and most of the other adult horses) have been crazy all weekend. The lesson horse was so bad D had to get on her and cancle the lesson, he said its the first time hes had to get on her in 3 years. The warm weather has turned them all into spring chickens!
We got the entry forms filled out for the first show in May. Me and Lucas are doing Halter geldings, sr western showmanship, sr english showmanship, and sr HUS and the HUS stake. Our goal is to get though the riding classes with all three gaits at both directions! (which would be a significant improvement on last year) And I would like to place in both showmanship classes.
Hopefully if the wind dies down I'll ride tomorrow, time for both Lucas and I to get our act together!
