Snow

Winter came back and it stormed on us all week. We ended up with about 3 feet of snow standing in the yard and pastures. Power was out for 2 days, but we didn't have any water lines freeze or break this time around, yay! We finally had some good weather the last two days so got some pics...

CJ has wanted to make a snowman all winter...
It was a midget snowman!
Hannah pulled the sled out, it was pretty buried. We have had about 6 inches of snow melt off but there is still a ton left. And the road finally got plowed so there was a big burm to pull it over too.
Then she took the boys for a ride. They have been asking for days about going sledding behind Hannah, they love it!

Then we worked with Heidi, we tried the collar on her and it fit, so we decided to see how she would take to the Harness for the first time.
She didn't even flinch putting it up.


So we drove her around...

She wanted to test the deep snow!
So she was doing so well again that I took the traces down and put resistance on them while Jarrett drove, she didn't mind.
So we hitched her to the sled...
Other than being a bit hesitant to start pulling the weight she acts like she has been hitched before.
They drove out over the bridge, on the main road.



Heading back...

By the end of the session she was pulling both of us together on the sled with no problems. We are incredibly happy with her progress and have got to get another collar ordered and harness made so that we can hitch the two girls together soon!
