Whaa - Why is summer taking so long !!!

Postby cnigh » Fri Feb 26, 2010 11:20 am

I have to get to the barn do 5 stalls & Hay & Water & Feed & Sweep of course PLUS I have a viewing on my house this afternoon!!

All I can think of is I wish it was summer and I was out on the trails - lol!

Anybody else dying for the summer sun & heat & grass?

Yes, spring first would be good. Atleast it isn't too cold right now, I just hope the weather doesn't get too bad, I'm going to the barn tonight.

I can't wait for spring, little green shoots coming out of the ground, and Robins! My favourite time of year.
We had a big dump of snow last night but it got up to 6C today and the horses are shedding so the end is definitely in sight!

I can't wait to ride outside !!!

I feel spring will be early since Easter is april 4th. I often noticed warm time arrived one week after Easter.

Well Spring is technically only 2 weeks away and Bakkir has been shedding for a month now. I am constantly eating his hair when I groom him. It just gets everywhere - lol!

But I am craving the suns warmth. And long lazy days of just getting out and riding whereever the trail takes me.

Of course it will be a little more hectic this season, since I will be ponying Bakkir.

I can't say I am a huge lover of summer...hate the heat and humidity...and the bugs! This past weekend was perfect...warm temps, good snow footing. I went for a wonderful hack on Saturday with 3 others from my barn. We walked, trotted and even cantered. It was so much fun!

I'm also not looking forward to Spring because Raymond has been rideable for the past couple months, and once Spring comes and things start growing again, that's when his allergies start up again and he starts to cough. I'm hoping to avoid the coughing this year by getting him onto allergy needles but the longer it stays cold, the happier I will be.

I'll take spring and fall... Summer is often termed "bull fly season" here... but spring would be good.. course it was +2 and blue sky here today so that is great... beats the -30 we were having any day!
Being a mom is a wonderful job... being mom to a horse crazy lil boy means combining two things i adore!!!

Winter makes you appreciate mud in the spring!

Great weather today! Spring is coming!

I agree-- I don't like heat and humidity either, I just like sun and good footing. I can't wait to ride outside again- to feel the warm air brush across my face while riding. That is one of my great moments of peace.

That's sucks for you and Raymond Chenders, I hope his allergy meds will work well for him. Poor guy.

I agree I like spring and fall best as long as they aren't too wet. I hate having to ride inside on a beautiful spring day because the ring is too sloppy :(

This weekend looks promising weather wise! I'm hoping to be able to ride outside for a bit.

Spring will be here before we know it. I can't believe it's March already! I'm looking forward to April... my birthday, Glory's birthday (turning 22), Easter, and we are heading down south with a group of 10 friends :) I hope to go away and come back to no more snow haha.

That really sucks! I'd be persistent to speak with someone when you phone and not leave messages. After all, your doing it for Raymond.
