Sadie pictures!

Sadie is all healed up now, and she has been providing a lot of entertainment lately. She is such a cuddler, and will do anything to be near us while we're hanging out at home. Here are some pictures from one night she was "desperate."

Lounging with Luke - she climbed on top because I was lying next to him, but got up to take the picture. :)

When I lay back down, Luke moved a little and Sadie was wedged in tight between him and to couch. She didn't seem to mind!

She was so please to be cuddling, she just conked out and started snoring!

Sadie's friend Schnapps comes up to the barn every Saturday while his owner's daughter has her lesson. They love to play in the tack room, and will roughouse for over 2 hours at a time! Needless to say, we love it because she comes home and immediately flops on her bed. :)

Sometimes they get a little tired and lie on the floor next to each other, growling and playing without having to stand up and hold their own weight... lazy bums! This picture is taken looking straight down on them from above.If we're at home in the mornings, Sadie loves to nap in the sunshine from the single living room window, and she'll move with the sunbeam. Right now though, she looks pretty content where she is!

Snowy Pictures!

It has been very warm here the past week, with record-breaking temperatures on Tues. and Wed. in the 60s! But the two weeks before that were very snowy with a couple of bitterly cold days (single digits, with wind chills in the negative teens). So here are some snowy New England pictures, taken on New Year's Eve, for those of you who don't get to enjoy "the awful white stuff," as Thomas once called it.

Our house and my car buried in snow!

Apollo, another training horse, and me waiting for Luke and Babe!

We've been having lots of fun riding in the snow, and are looking forward to more snowfall next week. At least there are a few good things about cold weather!
