Brr! It sure is cold outside today. But the cold didn’t keep our Australian native, Evelyn, from playing with the horses. Evelyn has ridden Lady Bug and Clifford as well, but she and Syria have really clicked together. Each horse has a very distinct personality, so it often takes a few tries before I find which horse is best suited to each student. With this horse and rider, however, the connection was instant. Syria is very calm and attentive in Evelyn’s presence, and Evelyn loves to give Syria big hugs. (Warm horses are like big, furry furnaces in the winter!) Evelyn is heading back home on Wednesday, and I’m sure Syria will be anxiously waiting for her return.
The weather looks promising this week, so I’m hoping that we can get some more lessons in before more snow decides to fall. Hopefully the arena won’t be too slushy, because working in mud is never fun. But oh well! As a Colorado native, I should be used to this by now, right?
Hope to see you on the farm! Keep your fingers crossed for good weather.
