I moved to NC to get away from this ()&#*(&$)(#$>>.....

So snow AGAIN! last week. We got something like six inches between Sunday and Monday, then rain and freezing temps hung in there so Tuesday everything was still frozen SOLID. Main roads were "iffy" but back roads were horrid. Dwayne did a couple of shoeing stops that were not too far into the worst of the snowzone, just so we wouldn't get TOO backed up--by Wednesday we were able to get out decently, in 4WD. So we only had to work half a day on Saturday to get caught up. Thursday I got home early enough to run the bobcat around the arena and break up most of the lingering ice so I could ride, and I had really good rides on Revi, Huggy, and today on Jones. Saturday I stopped at Victory Canter on the way home from shoeing and bought some goodies.... including a sliding gag snaffle for Revi, since I feel like that is less harsh than the 3-ring fixed gag, and also I needed a gag with a thinner mouthpiece since she has such a small mouth! Wrapped it in latex and tried it on her Saturday afternoon jumping and she felt really good. Yay!

But seriously, there is still ice everywhere A WEEK LATER. I moved down here to get away from snow!! I want a refund! I have been wanting to get to Southern Pines for a lesson for the last two weeks.... could have gone last week, it snowed.... wanted to go this week, but looks like I may be hauling a horse on my day "off" when I could have gone. Hmph! Might have to be next week, but if so I'll get a bunch of riding in meanwhile so that I can take Jones too.....
