Oh, and I have a question for you ~ do you feed more hay in this frigid weather (I think most of the East Coast is under a deep freeze) and if so, how much more? Thanks !
Happy New Year and a New Idea ~! « Result #4 on Jan 3, 2010, 7:45pm »
Hi, all, we are starting a new "tradition" ~ would like to get some more activity and chatter on the club website. Would you like to join us? I'll start a new thread at the first of the month and let's make it fun ! I do have a question for you ~ do you want to see it here or on the newsletter section? Let's share our news!
Thought we would start this New Year with any tips that you have for enjoying your horses in this cold weather, whether that be working them or just showing them attention. I have to admit that ours have had the month of December completely free, thanks to their rather lazy owners but I warned them that January brings a new and improved schedule ! Since our round pen footing has remained frozen, I have been walking them in the woods. Puts a spring in both of our steps !
Thanks for looking and for sharing your ideas. Take care and stay warm !
