We had the usual start to our journey south....a delayed departure day. It seems to be what happens every year due to the weather or other mishaps in the packing/organizing process. So we left NJ on Saturday morning, still kind of snowy, drove through snow in PA and eventually had some clearer skies as we headed south. We arrived in Aiken to rather cold temperatures and by Monday morning, more snow and a whole lotta ice! I'm sitting inside here on Tuesday morning, hiding from the ice skating rink that would lead me down to the barn!Still, we arrived safely with 9 horses, who got one day of kicking their heels up outside before they got snowed in. We will find a way to get through the ice to keep trotting and try to practice some kind of flat work before heading to Wellington, FL on Sunday. At least the horses have been in pretty steady work through the winter this far.
I am really looking forward to spending some time in Wellington, it should be a great jump start to our season with some intense dressage and show jumping lessons. Four horses will be coming with me on this short journey and we will be back in Aiken on the 30th of January.
I will be posting quite often to keep everyone updated, so please check back soon!!
