The temperature has been hovering around freezing for the last few days. It has been hard to get motivated to spend time at the barn when I spend more energy staying warm than actually doing anything else.
I must give respect to my fellow horse owners who can deal with the cold temperatures. Since I was raised in Alaska, I have been through my fare share of cold weather. The fact is, I don't like it. At all. I would rather have 70 degree days all the time. I am the perfect candidate for a 'snow bird', living someplace like Oregon in the summer and CA or AZ in the summer. Uriah agrees.
That said, I have still ridden the last 4 days, yesterday being the toughest day with a three hour stint in the AM for the vet (teeth day-pictures and video to come), then another three hours to ride both Santana and Tesoro. I'm dedicated, just a little bitter. Did I mention my feet are cold?????

The snow birds are much smarter than the rest of us. I'm still recovering from Nov's "cold snap" (it lasted four weeks... are cold snaps allowed to last four weeks?)--daily high temperatures about ten degrees below the average low temperatures, or somewhere in the low teens/single digits. Ew. I just hope I thaw out in time for the inevitable January cold snap.
Sigh.
How much is a plane ticket to Hawaii?
