Chevy and I passing time before they lifted the ban.

So yeah, we got a little snow over the weekend. Like... enough to make a state wide travel ban and force me to be stuck in Jamestown on Saturday because the bridge was supposedly closed. Don't worry, I put up a fight, but with no prevail. Stuck finding someone to feed the ponies and luckily Pru was able to come to the rescue and then Ms. Kate came later and turned out (yes, we're crazy and we put our ponies out in the snow! Oh my!).

Brantley happy to see me!

I finally got there later about 130pm to find Kate and her wonderful hubby had cleaned the WHOLE barn and did some shoveling and waters and just everything! Plus happy ponies. Yes, I felt guilty that I wasn't there, but so lucky that I had such awesome people to board with.
I went to my mothers to kill some time before feeding and found that their cat had escaped during the blunt of the storm. She came home today...
The day before the storm I was let loose from work early and I met Kate at the barn. Blizzard Nemo was underway but who better than us to be out playing with the ponies! Kate jumped out of her car and yelled "PHOTO SHOOT!" I was all in. Learned my lesson with LB. When someone wants to take pictures of you and your pony? Don't say no. You'll regret it... Forever.
Saturday went by and I fed the horses, no power, no heated outside water buckets... Nothing. Brantley was not happy to go into a black as night stall but he finally jumped in and put his head down to let me take his halter off. Poor boy's so scared of life...

Pretty & Me |
So this morning I slept a little late and went to the barn hoping the area would have power, which they didn't, so I fed and hauled hay and water out to the paddocks. Horses hopped and plodded alongside me, happy to go out in the snow. I broke the ice off the windows and opened them up so there was no chance of doing stalls in the dark. I went home for a while, opened my doors to my friends who didn't have power, and then headed back to the barn for a wild ride in the woods with Ms. Kate, Lucy, and Pretty. BLAST! That's all I have to say. I felt bad because Kate got down and shook the snow off the trees so we could sneak by. After taking some shots on the straight away (would've gone to the field but yes, we can move branches, but not trees) we went back to the barn and her hubby met us for more pictures. Once again, success!

Romp in the snow on a Roley Poley Arab! |
Tomorrow it's back to some ring work because it's supposed to rain all day. I was hoping it would be nice to bring Brantley in a paddock to play fake dare devil... Soft landing and all. But with the weather, it looks doubtful. We shall see! Half day tomorrow at work. So much fun today.
