Massive blizzard!

Yesterday the weather reporters had predicted there would be a massive blizzard today. And they where right. There was warnings on TV and on the radio that you shouldn't drive unless it was very important. Well, I thought, my horses are very important! And it didn't look so bad. But as I drove, I could see it was pretty serious. On the way out to the stable three people had a car accident. Fortunately no one was hurt.

Luckily, I'm half Finnish, so snow doesn't scare me ;-)

When I got to the farm I decided to muck the boxes immediately. Whew, it was hard work! When I have to get rid of all the horse dung I have to go up a really steep hill. And the hill was filled with snow. I think I'll soon get bigger muscles than my boyfriend with all the stable work I'm doing these days! :-D

Later I chose to ride Giga. Wow, I'm proud of that horse. She's just my dearest possession! There's great progress with me and Giga. She was just perfect today. She was beautiful and had a great posture. It may well be I don't always agree with my teacher's methods and approach to handling horses, but 2-3 hours of instruction each week has paid off. And I just love Kronplets indoor arena, it makes everything much easier when the weather is so bad and cold.

It is hard to see it in the picture but behind all horse dung there's a steep hill which I had to drive up and down with my wheelbarrow 5 times!

Poor Victor, he almost looks like a yeti :-D
