Ottakee Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Last Saturday we had NO snow. This Saturday we are in a winter wonderland. We have had temps below zero this past week and the lake effect snow machine has dumped almost 2 feet of snow on us in 5 days. Today the SUN was out and it was about 20 degrees so 16dd and I went out trail riding. The pictures is not the best (and certainly not flattering) but this is me on my old paint---a 22 year old gelding. The trees were heavy with snow so that we had to duck under and push through many just to get through our normal trails. The snow was up to the horses knees. The ears you see are from my daughter's 21 year old bay arab gelding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnbacademy Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I may have missed something, but is there a link to the pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 I can't get it to take my picture. I resized it but it keeps saying upload error. Now it is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I remember those days. My mother crocheted a big red tam to go over my helmet to keep my ears warm and the hunters at bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I'm jealous! That looks like so much fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 When it is hunting season we have hunter orange shirts, sweatshirts, vests and even hunter orange saddle blankets. It was a lot of fun. The weather is changing tomorrow with freezing rain then temps in the low 50s by Tuesday and then down to a high of 15 by Friday. We wanted to ride before we ended up with a lot of ice and mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrookValley. Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 What fun! Riding in the snow is awesome. I'm too far into my pregnancy to ride right now, which is a bummer because we got a few inches of snow over the past few days (it doesn't snow much in our area).

Live2Ride Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Brrr! I would be an ice pop! I don't do well in the cold. I'm about to head out to ride...it's 77 here, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 I start to wilt when it gets close to 80 so in the summer we tend to ride early mornings here. The 20 degrees felt like a heat wave honestly as it was 3 below zero yesterday morning. There are some other really great trails I wish we could have ridden but I don't trailer on slippery roads. We just rode the trails behind our house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
