We had lots of snow and the second day after, the snow plough came to clear the driveway and yard.
In the back of the cabin there is deep snow and the weather was so nice that I decided to go snow shoeing. Well , not as easy dobe as said. Hahaha. I sunk in very deep and it was hard to do. But I walked for 10 minutes. Great excersize!
With the cold gone I could work with the horses. That was fun as always. I learned I really have to have a good plan in my mind so I don't confuse my horse. I want Flicka to move towards me but she didn't get what I asked because I asked it too poorly. She offered several behaviors like side passing, disengage hind and fore quarters and of course she got a bit frustrated with me . I almost coukd hear her sigh and think: ok lady, I am trying but can't figure it out. Give me a break.
Lol. So I did. Now I have a better plan in mind and will work with her today.
This morning there was another load of snow so I will need to shovel. It's very mild outside so that will be fun.
I had water and fed the horses and Freya stood by me at the fence . We had a quiet and peaceful time together, where she would nuzzle me and rest her head into my two hands with her nose against my coat. So beautiful.
Here some pictures of one of my walks. Also the tracks of Scruffy in the snow. You can compare them with tbe wolve teacks. wolf tracks go straight while dog tracks wander and as you can see, Scruffy drags her back feet. :)
