Daylight Savings

Almost everyone I've talked to today mentioned daylight savings time. Oddly enough I've actually enjoyed this change over even if I did lose an hour. I now get to enjoy an extra hour of daylight after work. No more doing chores in the dark, no more searching for my darn dog, Gypsy, in the dark, etc. The only downfall is remembering to go back outside to turn the yard light on.

It was freezing rain/mist this afternoon when I got home so the big herd went into the barn while the two kids went into their boxstalls. I always dread putting Maverick and Brego in the box stalls. They just don't have the ground manners I'm used to. Although tonight they were pretty well behaved going in to their stalls. I think they wanted to get out of the rain. The wind is supposed to pick up and the temps to drop. I wanted to make sure they got out of the wind/rain before the cold front comes through. I can't wait for spring!!

I did get a chance to work with Brego yesterday. The weather was so beautiful. I decided that I need to really start working with him. I have a call in to a trainer so hopefully Maverick will be gone for a month this summer. I don't know what else to do. I'm going to give him a shot with the trainer. At this point he's definately an unwanted horse. Who else would want a 4yr old sorrel grade gelding with no ground manners and potentially dangerous to an inexperienced person. So I guess I'll wait and see what happens.

I have my calendar marked for the next two Sioux Falls Regional Horse Sales. One in April and another in May. Can't wait. This time I'm taking a trailer! I've learned my lesson.

Hopefully as the week goes by, daylight savings time doesn't kick my butt. I'm hoping for a snowstorm to keep me from going to work. I doubt it'll happen but it sure would be nice to have another day to play with the horses.
