Was there any doubt why I would like to see spring appear...lol&nbsp; I can't wait, I am planing on some rides in several different directions, states side as well as Canada.&nbsp; Something to look forward too.....hurry up spring....lol<IMG src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0">

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I hate being cold and seeing as I have chores to do warm weather makes life much easier. I also find that I have a much harder time of kicking myself in the butt to get and ride when it's -1000 out. As long as it's above -15 in the arena I make myself, and I'm fine once I get going, but the whole drive home I'm thinking that I'd much rather set my rump in front of the woodstove. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm looking forward to foaling being over, but I find it very stressful, so I have mixed emotions on that one! <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I do enjoy showing too, but not as much as warm weather!

You forgot... <br /> <br />MUD!!!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img border="0" src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0">

I said foaling... Only cause I've never gone through it and REALLLLYYY want to experience it! I also haven't learned how stressful it can be.
Only crummy thing is, I will have to foalwatch someone else's mare, since mine's not pregnant. <IMG src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0">

Oh please give me warm weather.&nbsp; I don't care about mud, so long as I can wear a t-shirt with my muck boots.
I hate winter with a passion. <IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/smileys/smiley11.gif" border="0">

This -1 weather is making me so HAPPY!!!!!&nbsp; I walked down to the post office today, and I was so glad to be out walking around without my toque and mitts......&nbsp; Feels like spring!&nbsp; I don't want to get my hopes up that winter is over, but man, it's hard not to wish that things stay like this.....

I HAD to vote for 'warmer weather'... it also = more riding but I can't STAND this cold anymore!!
I'm same as you BB, I went to the bank at lunch and got all giddy with this beautiful weather we're having... here's hoping that February is better than January... could it get much worse? *knocks on wood*<edited><editID>Dee22</editID><editDate>38384.6826736111</editDate></edited>

Ahhh spring... how about bugs... mosquitoes and black flies <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0">... <br /> <br />I wish we could just skip by spring and summer and go directly to autumn. <br /> <br />Well, it is the start of the show season! <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0">

Need warmer weather soon as I would love to be able to get out of the house more and for longer periods of time. My 2 year old daughter Hailey would also love to be able to play outside and not freeze.

<font color="magenta">You should have included an "all of the above"!!!! <br /> <br />I chose more riding, because the weather has been gorgeous lately. It got up to plus 3 - 5 today! It was great!<img border="0" src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0"> <br /> <br />I'm also looking forward to foals, my friend has a few due, I'm living vicariously through her. <br /> <br />And competition at small shows this summer (hopefully) though my horse seems to have an ADD problem when we're riding in company. <br /> <br />And I'm done uni this year....looking forward to it, but also scared!!<img border="0" src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0">

I had to say the end of the school year because right now I have NO time for anything horse-related except barn chores and working (horse job tho) on weekends. Once school is over, I will have sooo much mnore time and be able to enjoy the weather (which is not so bad right now....) and my horses...!!!!!!

[Marty_Jones]

im looking forward temps that are around -5to -8 Yay swim weather lol jk<IMG src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0">

[Hev339]

So many choices...I wanted to choose more than one... <br />decided on foals arriving though, that is always so exciting.. <br />BUT, spring also means the end of school (woohoo, away from roomies and on with things!) and waaaaaayyyyy better weather, and the end of the school year (can't wait) and competition! <br />Geez...can I vote for all of them? <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0">

[Piaffing]

I hate the cold I'm dreaming of warmer weather.

[SimsLady]

My vote is for warm weather.&nbsp; I do not mind the cold but the bitter cold NO THANK U!&nbsp; It would be nice to ride outside again!&nbsp; If Simon was ok, which I think he is, I would have done some riding outside the last couple of days have been a dream but being that I have not ridden him much I had to pass on it!&nbsp; Next year!

[pmc]

I chose warmer weather, too, since warmer weather = more riding! <IMG src="smileys/smiley14.gif" border="0">

[Lix]

I chose warmer weather just because if permits you to do more things. <br /> <br />If I was in school however, end of school year would <em>definitely</em> have gotten my vote. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley11.gif" border="0"> <br /> <br />Winter is dragging on and everything looks gray and dirty but there are advantages girls! <br />-like it was said already: no bugs! <br />-good hair days (no humidity or rain to mess it up) <br />-no sweating and having no energy cause it's 35 degrees outside <br />-no having to worry about tans and tan lines <br />-no having to worry about cellulite on your thighs when you wear shorts <br />-no worrying about having to lose weight/look good in a swimsuit/bikini cause you don't need those in February (phew!) <br /> <br />Now are you sure you <strong>want</strong> spring to come back that fast? <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0">
