Warm weather?

I keep waiting for this warm weather to stay. It seems we just start enjoying it and its back down to 50. Good weather for growing grass though. We have re-seeded a lot of the areas that were trashed over the winter. Between the constant rain and flooding all of the pastures were barren. We are keeping the horses in our sacrifice area and still feeding hay. I really like keeping them on hay year round and only allowing them access to the grass as a treat. I have read too many bad things about horses and green grass, founder, colic etc, that we are very careful.

The kids had there first open arena this past week for 4-h. Carissa who didn't want to do anything where she cantered was galloping around the huge arena by the end of the night. We have our first open show this weekend, hopefully I can talk her into doing some of the contesting events. She is definitely going to do the halter class and walk trot, and Corinne is going to do some of the contesting events. It should be a lot of fun.
