We came back a little early - it turned cold and actually snowed! Beautiful, but not what we or the horses are used to! Coming from AZ, they were already slick.

It's not like I don't know snow. I grew up in New England, and yes, I had horses back there as well. So, I know what it's like to care for animals with bad weather. The temperatures are one thing, but the second thing that happens after the snow, is the MUD.
So, it's all about keeping the horses happy. We have 2 dry lots and 2 small paddocks that we gave up to be trashed and we'll reseed in May.

| There are the Rockies in the distance! |
And to think, we thought perhaps we would be seeing hummingbirds soon!

Where are we? We live in beautiful Pagosa Springs, Colorado. You may know the name of the town because it's where Pat Parelli's Natural Horsemanship have their summer college and campus. It's near Durango, Colorado (1 hour west) and Santa Fe NM (3 hours south). The weather here is usually close to perfect with warm days and cool nights. The temperatures don't need to be that high because the sun is so strong in this altitude. We just love it.
If you would like to come and meet a Mangalarga Marchador, we enjoy visitors!
