Sunday was DST, so I had intentionally blocked a pretty laid-back morning. We went out to do chores, and it was sleeting (which was forecasted). By the time we finished and went back to the house, it was snowing. Big flakes. HUGE flakes. I've literally never seen snowflakes so big in my entire life. I figured it was a freak thing that would be over soon. When it dropped 3 inches in a little over an hour, I got worried. Several hours (And 5+ inches of snow later), we had to cancel our plans to drive in and see my family 100 miles away. Which was disappointing, but there's always other weekends I suppose. In the meantime, DH and I each had fun in our own way. I might be biased, but I think mine was better ;)

| Not even close to the end of the storm. |

| We did trot for like 30 feet. But it was really warm and the mud under the snow was a bit slick, so no canter. Boo. |

| Good job DH. The tires were totes what I wanted in focus. Hahaha. |
I know I'm a broken record, but I love this horse. She's always so game for anything. I know Cinna will get like that at some point (although I don't ever think she'll be quite as trustworthy as Ruby, just because of their personalities), but in the meantime.... Ruby's always gonna be the one I subject to these shenanigans, and I trust her to bring me home safe every time, no matter what we're doing.
Way to have fun when I'd totally be sulking inside being like "Whhhhyyyyyyy"
ReplyDeleteI got that out of my system first 😂 then I was like snow photos!!!
DeleteAwesome photos! Despite all the snow here I stick to the indoor arena, I'm too chicken about icy footing
ReplyDeleteMy horses are turned out daily so I figured if she could walk on the snow in turnout, she could walk me around 😊 although I definitely wasn't comfortable asking her to do much more than a walk.
DeleteI love snow photos!! Especially with a gorgeous bay. They pop so nicely against the white background!
ReplyDeleteI've been so jealous of everyone elsese snow photos this winter, it was nice to take some of my own! Ruby definitely showed up better than Cinna would have (nor is Cinna trustworthy enough for this yet lol)
DeleteI'm glad that you were able to enjoy the snow! Did you lose any Dachshounds?
ReplyDeleteThey staged a mutiny and would only go potty on the porch 😂 it was 50 degrees yesterday, so it's almost all melted already!
DeleteSeriously, good for you for having fun in it! I nearly cried when it barely snowed on my way to work this morning.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to cry when it cancelled my plans... But ya know -- when life gives you lemons and all that. At least it's almost all gone already!
DeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deleteaw i love all these shots!!! there's something so cool about riding around in a fresh snow <3
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was particularly fun in our back pasture, since no one had disturbed that snow yet. Something so fresh and clean about undisturbed snow 😍
DeleteLOVE the photos! Riding is fun but I don't know if I could ever say that sn*w is fun hahaha! ;-)
ReplyDeleteTemps immediately returned to 50 yesterday so it's mostly gone already 😂 although it is leaving a lot of mud in its place.... Ugh.
DeleteLooks like you made the best of the snow! I like the snowman too ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's STILL SNOWING here. But so far the lights are on, so I'm trying not to complain too much... Come on spring!
The base of that snowman has now survived back to back 50 degree days 😂 it's pretty determined hahaja
DeleteBeautiful photos of you guys in the snow <3
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteRiding around in the snow will forever be magical.
ReplyDeleteAgreed -- as long as the snow is gone in 48 hours 😉 which it is. Haha.
DeleteThat is a ton of snow but I love the pictures that you got on top of her - so cute
ReplyDeleteThanks, we had fun!
DeleteI love snow pics like these!!
ReplyDeleteThey're the only reason I like snow! 😉
