Why does it have to be windy every *&#! weekend here? I don’t mean breezy, I mean cross-gusts of up to 35mph. I realize that “It’s too windy to ride” can be a rather time-worn excuse, but does anyone really want to take their horse out in a steady 25mph wind?
This has been a long week and I haven’t had any Mojo time as I’ve tried to adjust to my wildly fluctuating schedule with a new job, so I was really looking forward to spending my one day off communing with the Big Red Caboose. I know we haven’t had snow and I really shouldn’t complain but I am sick to death of the unending wind. Grr.
I am working on the blog round up, so it should be up in an hour or so….
haha…I DO! or at least I did when I could ride my horse. Gennyral was never spooky…at least not if he was in a good mood. When he was pissy everything was in issue. I even showed him with steady 20+ mile per hour winds and 50+ wind gusts. One of my favorite pictures I have with him ever is at that show and you see his tail blowing between his legs and this look on his face that says, “I am only putting up with this crap for you mom”. I love it! I am a tough-it-out to the point where it is just stupid kind of rider though. Even with the ring was frozed I would still tack up and do like 5 minutes of walk work. I don’t blame you or anyone else for not wanting to ride in the wind, but also keep in mind that perfect weather doesn’t come by too often.
OnTheBit, Where do you live? I live in California and I feel that for the ridiculously high cost of living here, perfect weather ought to come more often than not! 🙂
You have my sympathies. Wind is way worse than snow in my opinion.
NuzMuz, I hate wind. It doesn’t matter whether I’m riding or not. I think it’s b/c I am such a control queen and wind makes a mockery of any semblance of order!
haha…I live in the northeast so nice days are hard to come by but stunning when they do happen. So you win…it should always be sunny (and not windy) in California!
OnTheBit, Now wonder you’re so tough! You have to be if you live in that part of the world and have horses!
Haha Big Wind = Me no ride. My horses are all mad
Beckz You crack me up! I love your Kiwi sensibilities (you are from NZ, yes?)
