The Academic Art of Riding Blog from Poland
You know you live in Poland when you’re calling five degrees Celsius warm…
With the weather turning colder again, I want to share some pictures I took last week on a sunny, warm January day. We’re having a mild winter this year, more rain than snow, and last week it even felt like spring might be around the corner.
It’s interesting to see how differently the horses reacted to the mild temperatures. Nazir loves to snooze in the sun, collecting the warmth like a reptile. He could do that all day.
We went for a short walk and searched for some grass bunches (found some…).
Then I cleaned up the paddock a bit. For some strange reason, Nazir loves to “help” me with that. He carries the tools around, tries to push the wheelbarrow, checks that I don’t miss a spot.
Of course he got tired after so much work…
…and had to snooze again.
Weto, on the other hand, was quite lively, and I took him to the round pen. It was such a joy to see him jumping and squeaking and kicking!
He had a god roll and I was just happy that I didn’t have to clean him…
Then it was time to bring the horses in for lunch.
As they were munching their hay, I took a short walk with the dogs to enjoy the sunlight. Days like these really fill up my batteries.
Of course, the days are still short. I can’t wait until spring is here!
Five degreescis definitely warm. It was neg 15 here in Canada on the weekend.
So you know what I’m talking about 😉 Greetings to Canada!
Poland looks beautiful! Its cold in Kansas too!
