right now in southern Ontario Hows the snow up your way Most of the Acton quota is front paddock making riding impossible even for the hard est of our Girls Lynn took Mack big tank mare Nina out in the an last week to break trail for her own lighter legged J rhne times around the lank was puffing She kept bah on the trust and crashing through up to her knees too happy about the whole thing so Lynn put her away and up riding till the spring Try Just what do you do when the snow is too deep for riding and the roads are too icy Well you can put ice shoes on your horse so he can travel on slippery surfaces but you must be very careful on roads The snow banks have narrowed them and cars just don have the control lo cope with a dancing All it takts is one shy from horse he slithers and slides in front of a passing motorist who can stop and However this time of year is an excellent time to re- your horse with stable and ground manners So often wiitn you re anxious to ride you ignore Ihe struggle to get his feet up for cleaning or attribute his restlessness on the to anticipation Now is the time reaffirm his training or retrain him if necessary Your usual riding hour can be spent giving him a leisurely grooming Get to know him again will do a lot to keep his muscles in shape and yours Make a hard pad of twisted hay and vigorously rub and hit the horse all over for a least twenty minutes kind of a Swedish massage Keep everybody fighting fit And cheer up spring will be here soon and you can ride through knee dctp mud Pleas send letters to Jennifer It Acton WATCH FOR OUR
