HIDE THE FLEECE! Well, it's that time again, horse lovers dare NOT wear anything fleece to the barn in fear of returning home looking like sasquatch! All of our equine friends are starting their spring shed! So between the shedding of my quarter horse mare and wiretin willy saying 6 weeks to spring, I'm pretty excited!
Winters just seems to get longer and longer as I get older and older. So the site of shedding hair is such a pretty site!
If anyone has some great tips to help with spring shedding please share. I do know many people who show early in the season, will start to double blanket their horses to force the shedding even faster. I just use a lot of elbow grease and a shedding blade.
PARADES!!
On another note, C
ochrane Ontario, recently had their Winter Carnival. I love riding my horse in parades and had hope to do just so. Weather was a factor in leaving the decision till last minute as well as trailering with whomever might be going. So I was pretty up in the air on where I stood. However, company coming over for the day helped to make the decision.

Doug Jenson proudly rides his steed and in front is little Miss Roy on her little pony. Perhaps next year I'll get a chance to ride in the parade.
In the meantime, ride with the wind @ equinenorth.net
