Another Cold Day

Today was another cold day in Georgia. Very odd for this part of the country. Today I worked on some round pen work with Khari. We worked on free lunging, leading with no rope, bending with no rope, and having our face and ears rubbed. I am working up to clipping. She does not really like to have her ears touched but with persistence she is making progress. I also took a few more short videos you can check them out at www.localequine.com. I am also considering taking her shoes off. I have found several websites support ting no shoes. It actually cuts off almost all of the blood circulation to the lower leg.

Snow Day

Today we are suppose to get 1-3 inches of snow. I wonder what my Arab will think of the snow? I am really glad that I purchased a new blanket from Schneider's 6 months ago. My husband thought it was overkill because we live in Georgia, he grew up in Montana, and it generally doesn't get very cold. She has stayed absolutely gorgeous though without growing a great furry coat. It was definitely worth it.

I also bought her a hood to keep her mane (lycra slicker hood) from getting ragged. This has doubled as a neck warmer for her on days like today. Definitely worth the money. I didn't realize how much mud it would keep out of her mane on rainy days. Georgia clay seems to get everywhere when it rains.
