Cierra and I hopped onto Tinkerbell and Marie bareback and rode out into the field. The snow is still so deep and too deep in some drifts in the woods to be safe for riding in so we just played in the field. Cierra was trotting Tinkerbell around and it got too deep for Tinkerbell to lift her legs clear of the snow. It was so cute because Tinkerbell was trying to be careful with Cierra so was trying not to lunge or jump through the snow. She finally came to a stop and just froze when she could no longer get her legs clear of the snow without lunging through it.
Cierra's phone fell out of her pocket along the path she was trotting and laying on top of the snow. She turned Tink around and rode back but didn't want to get off in the deep snow. I wish I'd gotten a video as Cierra decided she could lean off Tink far enough to reach the phone. Keep in mind she was riding bareback. But the snow was deep enough that she was able to do it but it was so funny watching her!
Going back to the gate Marie started bouncing around excitedly and wanting to trot. So, we turned both of them out together in Tinkerbell's paddock and they both went psycho! Marie was doing her best (and rarely seen) imitation of an Arabian! Tail flipped over her back, lofty trot and snorting! It was a riot watching her. Tink was bucking like a crazy thing. Silly girls.
