Holy wind Batman!

The radio said winds gusting up to 90 km per hour. But it was warm and the snow was melting, so off we go. Don't believe everything you hear on the radio.

Rode Sera in the outdoor snow ring while watching Charlotte and Ryan build a snowman - fresh Sera road apples for eyes. Successfully trimmed at least 1/4 inch off the back of Luba's front Renegade Hoof Boots with hoof nippers. The 0N size I am now using is just a bit too long and I should order them cut back next time. Wished Kim and Mike a great trip to Florida, wishing I was going too!

Still blowing at 3:45 pm when I headed to Kars. Lunged Luba over trot poles and a small jump in Pat's arena. At times, it sounded like the roof was going to end up in OZ. All good training.

Mostly trotting but went long enough to get Luba breathing hard - maybe 45 minutes? Left watch and camera at home, cell phone dead. No technology. Imagine! Cooled out for about 10 minutes hand walking up and down the driveway in the slush. The driveway has a little slope to it.

Fed beetpulp with her supper and left her in the stall with a couple flakes of hay and a pail of water so she could dry out.

Looked at our log from last year at this time. Same story: snow/rain/ice = bad footing.

The secret is to show up. Every little bit counts. That's my story anyway.
