Through the Easter Snow (H)

We got a huge dump of snow at the end of March, just a few days before Easter and once the storm that produced it (and felled a couple of trees in the garden) had passed, we took the horses for a plowter through the snow on a beautiful cold clear Good Friday morning.

Susanne says that you've not ridden until you've tried bareback and I have to agree - it does wonders for your balance (and even if you do fall off, it probably won't hurt in the snow...)

Getting back on after digging gates open was a bit of a challenge; less of the 'cowboy flying mount' and more of the 'launch forward onto the horse's back and flap legs to try and get on board'. Not pretty, but usually effective......
