Snow Mares!

After Margaret and I had such a fun time at the fall hunter pace, we opted to go again this spring! This time, while I rode Rejoice again, Margaret rode her horse Jester and had a friend ride Ladyhawke. All Kennebec Morgans!! Jester and Rejoice have the same dam and Jester and Lady share the same sire. Unfortunately instead of a lovely late spring day, we had one of the first intensely hot and humid days of the year. It was definitely a bummer, but the ride was mostly in the shade of the woods and we had a great time! most of the fences were 3' coops but we found a small log and this hay to jump haha Until we didn't. 😑 We brought along a third friend who rode Margaret's older mare, Ladyhawke.

Snow Mares!

Up here in Maine, we got about 8-9 inches of snow overnight Sunday into Monday. The wind was also howling so I left the mares inside for a while on Monday morning. Once it stopped snowing and the visibility was a bit better, I let them out around noon time. They were happy to be out but were certainly ready to come inside at 4PM for dinner! LOL!

I took a bunch of photos when I let them outside. They were pretty cute in the snow and wind! There is not much space in their winter paddocks, but all three ran around, bucked, and rolled multiple times. Then Reva tore around the longest while the other two "mature" mares watched! It was pretty cute!
