Hello there! Natalie here, resident barn manager and riding instructor at Laughing Buck Farm. Welcome to Horsing Around, a little blog dedicated to the horses on our farm. Here you’ll find entries about lessons, camps, and all kinds of other horsey shenanigans.
We’re currently all snowed in here at the farm. Lessons have been on hold until our arena clears up a bit. It was alright when the snow was packed down, but these weird weather mood swings have left us with sheets of ice where the snow had melted into slush. Our horses were slipping all around this morning when I put them outside.
Don’t get me wrong, I do love the snow and this chilly weather, but I’m no fan of ice. I’ve got a terrible knack for falling on ice, so I always get trembly and hesitant whenever I’m walking on it. Plus, an icy arena means no playing with the horses until it is all cleared up. I’ll tell you what, I’m already getting Spring fever, and it’s only January! These could be a long couple of months.
Keep checking back for updates! I’ll be posting lots of photos and even some videos when I can.
Happy New Year!
