The Mid-Winter Meeting and classes were great! I got some really nifty
ideas for making pony-desensitizing-things from Heike Lewandowski and she says
we don't really have to hang around crime scenes to get that yellow
tape...Home Depot is quicker and safer! Bob Long's talk and demo on packing
with
Fjords into the gorgeous back-country places available to us in the USA and
Canada was really exciting. I don't know if Braveheart and I are ready to
meet our first bear though! JanetMc Nally's Farming with Fjords was really
interesting and the log skidding with Tyler proved that I'll need to practice
hopping back and forth over logs in motion a LOT before BH (or Bogie) and I
try hiring out to any logging operations. I was really impressed with the
care and caring involved in a good theraputic riding program...the horses and
the helpers have to be pretty special individuals!
Anyhow, as you've probably guessed, it was a wonderful weekend. After
getting home and retrieving my ponies and dog from their various hotels, the
first thing I did was to order a BUNCH of felting wool from HalcyonYarn.
Once it all arrives, I will use what we learned on Friday night to begin
felting my own herd of Fjords...it was really fun! I was sorry there wasn't
enough time to try everything because the people who chose to try rosmaling
seemed to be having a pretty good time too!
And, as you've already heard, we got some hints about stylish haircuts
from Joni and Jock so I'm eyeballing Bogie as a potential piano-key-haircut
candidate. I think he'd look quite fetching!
Stay warm everybody...spring has GOT to be showing up sometime soon!

and Braveheart, who's heard about Cedar Rapids and can hardly wait
and Bogie, who would rather focus on shedding
