The heat is on....

We had an extremely wet winter that allowed us three good snowfalls. That was wild...

This spring has been beautiful with cool temps in the morning and warmish temps later in the day, but a breeze stayed blowing.

But I think Mother Nature got a little ahead of herself. We should still be getting some mildish mornings and warmer afternoons. We're not. So far we've recorded record high's for May here. It's been up to 98 degrees that I know of recorded. It's stinkin' hot and feels like July already...that's scary.

I'd like to say I've been out putting training time on Charmer, who is four this year, but it's too hot! I've had some great rides on him this spring though. I was pleased with his progress. I need to send him to someone to finish off though. I've started him pretty good though I think. He'll go in a bit or rope halter (prefers halter). He side passes, backs, walks, trots, and turns on que. I've not cantered on him yet since no one was out there with me. I like having someone out there just in case.
