January
I was deep into colt starts with Birdie and Coco,
I ordered the trailer for trips to a go, go,
Breeze came to live here, with her scoliosis.
We are quite glad she does not have psychosis.
- Breeze (who belongs to Mary Ann S.) with her hump
- Birdie (Whispering Spirit Ranch) and Coco (belongs to Mariah) , acting like they are not friends.
- Our trailer did end up looking a lot like this and we do love it!
February
We had some nice weather, and we had some snow.
Clay worked with H, and dragged calves like a pro.
Coco and Birdie kept making progress.
COVID was just starting to pull toward the abyss.
- Lucy
- Coco with LT in the background.
- Penny and Birdie at the Galisteo Basin Preserve.
March
March was a wild one; my courses went online.
I shut down my horse lessons, and tried not to whine.
We were “normal” on Thursday, and by Monday were not.
I have not since been to campus nor parked in the lot!
But I got to keep riding, which helped me stay sane,
And I got, Fancy, a new youngster to get on and to train!
- Fancy, belonging to Mariah.
- Birdie, really coming along!
- Growing cultures virtually
- Wild haired Lucy out on the trail.
