As the snow melts, the land awakens around us.
For the last 2 mornings, we've had a diligent male partridge drumming out his desire just outside our bedroom window. We watched a pair of mallard ducks walk within a few yards of him, the drake dutifully following his mate, even though the going was tough in the brush.

We also saw a large still-white hare tucked into the woods in our front yard.
And a young deer sampled the newly-planted clover next to the riding arena, right beside the horses.
There are promising sprouts coming up in the flower gardens as their beds warm up.

Everyone wants to go for a ride when the weather's so beautiful and warm, so when family visits, we start 'em young.
Around the stable, our schedule has been on hold while the horse trailer had a fresh paint job. It was time to update our truck, too.
Our first outing will be bringing Ludi to the Jen Hamilton Clinic at Westar Farms on April 29 & 30. Then, a couple of days training with Gina Smith at Franklands Farm in early May. We're also hosting 2 dressage clinics with Anne Galt in May, on the 13th and 27th. In between, I may take Ludi to the Ottawa Dressage Festival May 20-21.
