Life On and Off an Acreage

In-sights into moving from an Acreage back to Town, plus a few things I find of interest.

Two things that horses are scared about:


1. Things that move
2. Things that don't move

Still Snowing!

When it's snowing and only -5 C (23F), it's a good day for a ride. There was no wind and the trails were eerily silent. Alpine here, was not very happy with me because just before the ride, I dosed her with the deworming medicine. It must taste awful as all three horses wanted no part of it. Any way, that's one task done for a while. Hooves are good until a trimming around Christmas. Now all there is left to do is try and work some riding in.

 Boots and Brooklyn accompanied me on the two hour ride. Boots was in much better condition than Brooklyn, who assumed her favourite sleeping position.
Only 6 more days to the U.S. election. We don't get much news about it in Canada, but I try to follow it on the internet. It is much the same as in Canada, lots of hype and not many detailed plans. Can anybody tell me why states like Virginia, are considered to be "swing" states?

    I feel like I am drowning in election news. I will be relieved when it is over.

    Alpine is so pretty, and that photo of her is striking, what with the black horse in the snow, and the red accents.

    I started to write a long-winded explanation of swing states, but here's a much better one -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_state

    I'm with the dog, ignore the election hype (I mailed my ballot 2 weeks ago)and the snow and just take a nap.
