I'm sad to report that Harvey passed away sometime over the weekend. He was about 36 or 37 years old. He was a sweet old guy. Poor Oscar took it very hard. He wandered about in his pen calling for Harvey. They were pen-mates and good buddies for a long time.
Harvey is buried by the woods near the Grass Arena. Joan, Stacia, and I rode out to visit the grave today. Harvey will be missed.

YIPPEE!!
Yes, I'm cheering again! Not only did I ride again today but we rode OUTSIDE!! It was fantastic! We trotted and cantered through the snow. Joan and Stacia were outdoors with their horses and so Rusty and I joined them for a wonderful ride.
We don't get many winter days that are nice enough to do this, so we were glad for the opportunity. Even if we don't get to do it again at least we did it once!
Rusty was really good out in the snow. At first, I was a little concerned about the footing, but there was no ice under the powder and the footing was fine. We had a wonderful collected canter both directions. Terrific! I really hope this is not the last time we get to ride out in the snow. Lots of Fun!
