The thing I dread most about Winter would be the snow and the freezing teeth of the wind.On the way to the barn, I have to brace against the wind, and once I’m at the door, I’m forced to barrel through the snow,grasp the freezing door knob,and then kick the door so that it will open.But my efforts are well worth it:I’m greeted by a friendly nicker,and although we can’t ride,I still have time to enjoy life with my best friend.

What I dread most about winter is not being able to ride. I can get a few days in but not much.

The thing I dread most about winter, is the time difference between daytime and night time! Since I get of the bus from school to the stable, It’s already the afternoon. I get off at 3:00 and by then we only have 2 hours and 30 minutes to get everything done! Since we are all friends, we talk alittle in the barn, too. We have to clean our horses stalls, then get the horses from the pasture, and start grooming and tacking up. (By this time it’s already been 1 hour.) Then, when we ride, we only have 30-45 minutes to ride! Then, when we get off we have to tend to our horses and be ready to leave before it’s dark!

The cold, and frozen water buckets and hoses.

I absolutely hate banging the ice out of the horse’s water buckets! We don’t have fancy heated stalls or buckets, so every morning and afternoon we have to scrape the ice out with a hoof pick. It makes me long for the weather where water doesn’t freeze!

I hate being stuck in the indoor and having the snow crash off the roof and then your horse bolts and you almost fall off.

The cold, plain and simple. I can’t stand trudging through snow and ice and freezing my tail off every day, twice a day. I hope my horses appreciate what I do for them!
