Well it is approximately -25 outside this morning. Brrrr... Didn't get much sleep last night as we took turns staying up and feeding the fire, had to keep the woodstove roaring just to keep the house warm. Thw weather isn't suppose to break until Saturday, and that can change in a moment. Okay I am officially tired of winter and snow and cold. Where is summer. I am ready:)
Hickock came home Monday, he is settling back into the routine of working and such. Never forgot a thing. Walked right out into the 200 acre pasture and put a halter on him with no fuss and loaded him in the trailer without an issue. What a great little man. His love for people and willingness to please is fantastic. All our ponies in the pasture looks great! Moussee in absolutely huge, she is as big as some of the coming two year olds. Sweet Tart is looking great, she is coming back wonderfully after her hard start in life. Poor little thing, but she is going to make a great little mare. Still can't tell if Smokey is bred or not, but Bob is keeping a close eye on her. Splash is really starting to show, getting fat and sassy.
Made our rounds last night to make sure everyone had full round bales of hay to get through the cold snap. Poor Ghost is going to melt when he gets to Texas, he sure packed on the pounds this winter. The Great Hambino we call him:)
Hopefully the weather turns nice like they said it would next week. Even 30 is warmer than below zero. Hot water pipes are froze, but we kept the cold water pipes trickling and they are still unthawed.
School is starting 2 hours late here, hoping to get some of the ice off the roads and such. I hope the truck will start so I don't have to walk to work. That would not be fun, I can always call and have Archie come and pick me up:)
I am going to start a blog on the training of Hickock to attach to his page that way poeple interested in raffle tickets can watch what he does and how he progresses in his training. I will work on that this weekend.
Hope everyone stays warm and cozy through the nasty weather.
Here is some pics of Hickock when he came home.
