They just seem so wild and wolflike. <br /><br />Lately, a flock of wild turkeys moved into the area. They are beautiful birds--Cole doesn't trust them in the least, but he is getting better with them. <br /><br />Cole is doing well. With the dark nights and colder weather, I now am forced to work in the arena, and that gives us a whole new set of challenges, but I see improvement with each ride. <br /><br />We love our arena, but by about February, all we dream about is getting out of it and back on the trail. Usually, it isn't until March that we can ride regularly on trail.<br /><br />You'll be getting another blog about Cole, soon.Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137999367218100398.post-41448791326537750772010-11-29T23:31:50.613+00:002010-11-29T23:31:50.613+00:00Hello Judi and thank you :)

How nicely wild is that :) <br /><br />Indoor arena, big bright and warm is what I dream about!<br />How is Cole doing? Looking forward to more blogs from you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036104794835542928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137999367218100398.post-46526463889163225412010-11-29T16:45:03.357+00:002010-11-29T16:45:03.357+00:00What wonderful news--everything is falling in plac...What wonderful news--everything is falling in place. I'm so proud of you for working so hard. It takes a lot of motivation and belief in what you are doing.<br /><br />Wow, it sure is dark for 4:00. It doesn't get dark here until 5:00 this time of year, and I hate it, as that is when I get off work.<br /><br />I ride in an indoor arena this time of year, but I remember the days when I didn't have one--and we didn't even have decent lights. It was a challenge, to say the least. I don't envy you.<br /><br />I can't believe the fox was so brave! We have fox around here, but they are so shy that we can go years without seeing one. We also have coyotes, which we will see more often. They are spooky when they howl and yip at night.Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com
