Winter fun

Willow at 10 months old - 14.2 at hip and 14.0 at withers.

Pretty girl!!!

Cale and I riding China. First time using the buddy pad.

Sledding with Jon and China 2-3 weeks ago, when we still had snow on the ground.

Jon and Cale are in the sled.

Charisse in the sled this time....

Cale having a blast!!

Confirmation and fun

Wyatt and Cale on China and Tessa yesterday. Over 40 degrees in January in Wisconsin. Pretty amazing!! Had to take advantage of the day and ride.

We were trying to get decent confirmation pictures of Willow and Roxy. Willow is at least 2 inches bigger all the way around, compared to Roxy.

Charisse on Tessa, Cale, Wyatt, and me on China.

The butt shot - see how big Willow is, compared to Roxy......

HAY!!

First large bale of hay went into the feeder today. Now comes the weight gain for China! I have a muzzle for her but hate putting it on. She really does not like her muzzle.

I'm also concerned about Willow. When we brought out alfalfa hay, she started getting crusty poop/pee on her behind. When we switched to alfalfa at night only and grass hay during the day and backed off on her grain, she seemed better.

Now, we have to keep an eye on 2 horses. I think we have a plan....

At least 3-4 days a week, Willow and China will be on the pasture side with grass hay during the day and in the dry lot at night with the big bale. Hope this works!!

Some of my favs....

China all clean for Midwest Horse Fair - 2 yrs ago

Cale, China, and me this past summer.

One of the best horses ever! At least best for me!

Cale and China this fall. Cale loves to trot (run) on her. She's so good with him!

Roxy and Willow trying out their winter blankets.

Willow and Roxy one morning this fall.

So pretty!!

Babies lay down a lot! She's so sweet!

China with Willow and Roxy one of the first times. China really didn't like the little girls at first....

My girls!!
