Beautiful day today. We just missed a cold front, so we have been enjoying some 60 degree weather during the day. Everyone, both human and equine, have been having a blast and thawing out. Iceman was due for a trim, so our farrier was out today. He was able to get all four hooves in no time at all. It was a nice change from the last time we had them done. Iceman spent the rest of the day just having fun in the sun. Ahh, the good life.
A big thank you goes out to Joe Weitekamp, for working out those kinks.
It has been a great start to the new year. We have had a nice few days break from the strong winds, rain, and snow. Iceman is doing fantastic. Eric spent most of the early morning working in the round pen, and they worked on tacking and mounting. Iceman is also noticeably better with trusting others, and is so much easier to be caught in the arena after being turned out. He must also be enjoying the weather because he has really been kicking up his hooves and having a blast! :)

He's a Perlino
Well, we agree with 83% of you who voted Iceman as a Perlino over a Cremello. I think we all learned a new color! Thanks Iceman, we are learning already!
