Right now our weather is on the warm side for this time of year. Last Friday, we had record warm temperatures in the 40's. Lots of sun today so it felt like spring is just around the corner...but we can't get too hopeful. This is still early February.
But we scooped the poop off the snow today, worked on fence repair and kissed a few noses. No riding today, as one of the gang has a shoe off, and we have some icy conditions.
As we did our barn work, I thought about the first blog I wrote, just a few weeks ago as a "guest blogger" for my daughter, Jerri. I wrote about watering your horses in cold weather. That is such an important topic because a good water supply is so vital to a horse's good health -- summer or winter.
Let's revisit that blog by hopping over to Jerri's site and checking out the best practices that I have found for keeping your horse hydrated in cold temperatures, with a few side bar comments about horse keeping in cold weather.

I am glad to say I no longer have the ice problems but I sure do miss our rides together & the Paso Fino Princess meetings.
Your BLOG is great! Keep up the good work :)

Dear Mary,
Please consider submitting a link to a post on your blog to the Horse Lover's Blog Carnival. The organizer for the Carnival is HorseApproved.com and I am hosting this weeks edition on my website Experiments in Equine Training. The deadline is the night of the 27th.
Here is the description of the event:
If you have spent any amount of time with the equine you know that there are many times that things go much differently than planned. Equines have a way of teaching us what we need to know. This carnival is dedicated to the times when equines have taught US a thing or two. Let's celebrate our failures, big and small. Let's celebrate the times when things have gone right against all odds. You are of course welcome to submit even if you have a post that doesn't relate to the topic. Just put your submission under the "general" category.
Here is the submission link:

Be sure it is the horse lovers blog carnival in the box.
Surely that horses on ice must be teaching you things.
Yours,
Patricia
