This is the first time I have had that luxury. The footing sucks but at least it's dry.<BR/><BR/>abraham, I'b glad you like them. Now if I could just learn to take pictures as well as you, I'd be set.<BR/><BR/>equinespirit, I know she scared me too. I was so relieved to see she was all right. But ticked she scared me because she was thinking about a roll! LOL<BR/><BR/>lovelee, I think some of them do have a sense of humor and blow just to get our goat.<BR/><BR/>victoria, I think all horses don't like cabin fever anymore than we do. They are sure fun to watch when they have been cooped up.<BR/><BR/>heidi, I normally don't get to work mine through the winter. This is really a treat.<BR/><BR/>dressagemom, I'm not big on lunging either. I rarely do it. But I was wanting to leg me up probably more than the horses. <BR/><BR/>I can see why you wouldn't want to lunge Kaswyn. I sure hope this all works out for you two.<BR/><BR/>callie, it is really intersting how they can all be so different. You just never know.<BR/><BR/>kwdhorses, don't you love it when they give you that look because they feel stupid!<BR/><BR/>arthist99, I'm glad you got your mug. And glad to know who bought it. lol<BR/><BR/>barngoddess, it is a word to me! LOL I worry about the older horses too. Lindsay's gelding is the same age as your Scooter. You take such good care of him.<BR/><BR/>grey horse matters, yes you never know what you're going to get.<BR/><BR/>lori, updates on rhythm, geez I need to do those too. <BR/><BR/>marvel, it really scared me too.

Rode my mare-she was trying my patience, then our bay gelding didn't want to do go away from the mare. So I say okay, just wait! I go get the lunge line and off we go and we are doing real good and wham! He slips and falls and then jumps right up and looks at me like what? I didn't fall! LOL! Horses defintely have a sense of humor and totally different personalities! Glad you got to work with them.

It's not only good safety practice but it's respectful!<BR/><BR/>I have, in the past, hated lungeing. Hate, hate, hated it. Since getting some good lessons I have a much different attitude towards it. <BR/><BR/>but I have to say, I am so relieved to hear that your mare was just goofing off and wasn't hurt!<BR/><BR/>I haven't done anything with mine all winter other than scratch their foreheads and brush them and pick out their hooves. It's either mud or ice in the yard. At my coach's barn I've done as much riding as possible, as long as the snow gets blown out of her corral. I'm really looking forward to the month of May...Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-20533891088927415932008-02-05T07:05:00.000-08:002008-02-05T07:05:00.000-08:00When my horses fall, I react the same way you did....When my horses fall, I react the same way you did. And actually, it's very reassuring to realize that all horses exhibit the same attitudes and behaviors when they have "cabin fever". My two went nuts today when I turned them out. Good thing to work off that energy since it's pouring rain right now and will be for the next two days.Victoria Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267314663679137147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-7680207352671182482008-02-05T06:41:00.000-08:002008-02-05T06:41:00.000-08:00I used to ride a horse that would blow snot on me ...I used to ride a horse that would blow snot on me if he hadn't been ridden enough. He was clever. He would lift his had when we were cantering, blow out a bunch of snot and listen with glee as I said "oh, gross", "uck".
