I know we can't really complain about winter here in the south, but I am glad to see the sunshine and warm weather! The horses are starting to let go of their winter coats, and the little ones walk away looking like kid-shaped lint rollers when they finish grooming...a sure sign of spring around here.
Thank goodness we don't have to break ice in the water tubs anymore, and numb fingers are a thing of the past - at least for a while. I truly don't know how horse people up north cope because I would pull my hair out. They are obviously made of tougher stock than I am, and I salute them!
One of the best things about training in the summer is that it takes WAY less time to get to the bottom of a frisky horse. The shorter the time spent spinning one endlessly on the lunge, the better. It is less stressful on horse's joints and the rider's state of mind.
So, bring on the heat and the sweat because I am ready. I will slap on my big silly looking hat and some sunscreen and be good to go! Oh yeah, if you hear me complain bout how hot it is, just remind me of this past winter come August.
