Have I mentioned that I love snow? As soon as my chores were done this morning I headed out to have some fun with my dogs and horses.
Can’t do anything till I have said hello to Tag.

Then I headed to the barn and grabbed Tam, my old faithful. She is always game for whatever crazy idea I come up with. Sooo, I cobbled together a makeshift harness with my training surcingle, an old breast collar and a couple of old ropes that had seen better days. Then I swiped Clayton’s sled and used the ropes to tie it to the harness. I used two longe lines for driving lines. Tam stood patiently as I put this awful conglomeration on her and tightened everything up. Then, I hopped on the sled and kissed at her. Down the road we went!
It worked out so well that I decided to give Mac a try. He never ceases to amaze me. He was such a pain in the you know what when we got him. He looked a little confused as I dragged that mess of a harness up over him, but stayed put. I decided to walk behind the sled at first, just to make sure I wasn’t going to have a run away. That lasted about 10 seconds, then I jumped on.

Mac's first time pulling anything!
He picked it right up!
This is genuine, homemade fun!

He's a natural!
After a couple of hours, I took pity on Mac and decided to turn him out for a while.

He looks a little tired, doesn’t he?

What a good boy.
I gave him a hug and a pat and took him to the pasture to hang with his buddies.


Tam and Pappy
Tam was looking at me as if to say, I’m done, right? I must have worn her out too. Razzle, on the other hand, was grumpy because he had been left out of the action.

Razzle
Don’t worry my friend. You’re next!

Mexican stand off
Can’t leave little Reno out of the pictures. He and Tag were eyeballing each other pretty hard. They both decided it wasn’t worth the effort.
Tag and Ember rested in the hay while I put my fancy harness away.
I’m going to grab a bite to eat and head back out to enjoy the snow. Hope you are too!
See ya!
