Well, March is definitely coming in like a lion! I’m currently watching wet, fat snowflakes building up in my pasture and on my deck. I look over at my muck boots, standing at the ready by the front door (with all the residual "muck" that the boot scraper didn’t manage to get off) and know for sure that they’ll be in use for a while longer. Even the sun, when it shines, only gives the illusion of warmth.

But then… I find myself smiling as I look at all the brave, prematurely bloomed crocus, and the tiny little buds peeking out on the branches of my lilac trees. They remind me that winter really doesn’t last forever, and soon enough, I’ll be com-plaining that it’s too hot to ride past two in the after-noon. The long winter hair on my two equine children will shed away and to become sleek, shiny coats, and at a trail-head, a gathering of horse

trailers and shouts of "Hello" and " Glad you could make it" will signal the start of trail riding season.

I hope all of you are ea-gerly anticipating the many interesting and var-ied club activities that are planned for this year. But we are quite an eclectic group, and it would be fun to include in our newslet-ter some of the "horsy" things you might be plan-ning that are not club re-lated. Once our Facebook page is up and running (which will happen when I

some of the activities you’re involved in that others in the club might enjoy knowing about (Dodi and I, for example, would be thrilled to see ya’ll in Albany in June for our big horse show)

Well, I’m getting the "wrap it up" sign from Jessica. Everybody cross your fin-gers that, since March came in like the proverbi-al lion, it departs like a lamb……and that we can soon look forward to boots in the stirrups and butts in the saddle….Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it’s down the trail we go, tra la, tra la, da da de da……….
