Frisky Fellas

The snow's mostly melted in the pasture, and with a sunny sky, a light wind, and temperatures in the 30's, the horses are feeling their oats. Here they are, enjoying their first good run since snow covered the ground in early December.


Daisy had some fun, too, running with her horse friends.

You can see a dusting of snow on the lower mountains,
and quite a bit of snow up high. The sky over the Uintas is dark, and a storm is predicted, so its good the horses got their exercise today.

  2. They are so beautiful! I LOVE the bright blue skies! I think that is my favorite thing about winter. The deep blue sky! I don't like the snow, the ice, or the cold though....

  3. Love the horses. I remember those frosty/sunny days. I loved riding when my horse was feeling her oats. It was like her feet never touched the ground. Fun fun fun!

    Her paddock wasn't very big so occasionally I would just let her run around the woods. I would shake a bucket of oats and she would come running back huffing and puffing and happy as a clam.
