Late October brought our second pre-winter snow in as many years. The horses seemed as surprised as I was to see white on the ground so soon! It is always entertaining to see the weanlings respond to their first snow, and Nova looked like she was walking on eggshells those first few steps until she realized it wasn't going to swallow her up. Tanzer is shown sporting her trace clip, the first time in five years that we have broken out the clippers. Katje looked amused, if mildly inconvenienced by having to dig down to the grass. The white was a beautiful contrast with the scarlet leaved maples on the drive. My only hope is that this early shot of winter isn't a hint of rough things to come.
