And all from your camera phone?<br /><br />Really enjoyed the shots of the horses in their coats, and especially love the ones of your mare...beautiful! Especially the hot cocoa one and the one peeking out behind the evergreen!<br /><br />Happy Sunday to you both!FiveSibesMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936603879635898217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-24593835752097414942011-03-05T15:01:15.046-08:002011-03-05T15:01:15.046-08:00Singing?

Back when I backed Rogo I used to sing quietly to keep my fear under control and it worked. SO glad to see somebody else does this !<br />That snow is scary. Glad you made it okay. Good driving. <br />My final comment? I love spiked cocoa! So good! I hope someday in the future we share a cup, even if we're thousands of miles apart at the time :)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207626703988850059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-70270800546221277542011-03-05T10:14:12.883-08:002011-03-05T10:14:12.883-08:00Haha, I sing to my mare too.

Naloma once drank a whole mug of tea that a friend of mine was holding while having a conversation with me and meanwhile Naloma tiptoed nearer and dipped her tongue in the tea and drank it all. It wasn't spiked ;-)<br />Great photos of the horses in the snow.

My songs are not as creative as yours. I usually sing Jingle Bells or Row Row Row Your Boat. <br /><br />My mare is very sensitive to me and my reactions. So if I think there's a problem she gets concerned. My singing is to keep me centered and breathing. Added bonus is that it keeps the bears and moose away.<br /><br />Excellent post and lovely pictures.AKPonyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02969589711581884433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-64486847274497247002011-03-03T11:39:03.612-08:002011-03-03T11:39:03.612-08:00I hate driving in the snow and I don't think I...I hate driving in the snow and I don't think I've even tried in my truck but then my truck does not have 4 WD, what was I thinking?? Glad you got to the barn ok and you must have gotten home ok or we'd have heard that story too.<br /><br />I have done a little singing in the woods myself and humming in a class.

(baasha plus one icy horse)<br /><br />it was way too early for spiking. maybe tonight.<br /><br />our plastic fence posts suffered greatly under heavy wet snow - they were bent completely to the ground! i had to take the whole thing down and just put them away until the snow was gone. thankfully they straightened out again. how is that possible? good things tposts don't bend in snow.<br /><br />i love your photos but am so thankful that we only have mud here at the moment.lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-55517557864437848572011-03-03T03:30:15.999-08:002011-03-03T03:30:15.999-08:00Kacy!

That was a scary journey to the barn. I guess I take snow for granted and that the other drivers can drive in it. Out there it must be a mess when you have it so few times a year.<br />That hot chocolate looked heavenly.<br />I hope you get your arena time in soon. It probably wasn't meant to be that day! <br /><br />Take care, dear friend! Stay warm and happy. I can so tell how happy you are now that the days are getting brighter!juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488138405040629084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-61516617559471482212011-03-02T19:00:17.715-08:002011-03-02T19:00:17.715-08:00The photos are beautiful!
