This photo was taken by Deb, a friend who boards her mare, Vantasy, at Breezy Acres. It was the first truly warm day of Spring, March 21st, and Deb and I both snuck out of work in order to visit our girls. I just took Violet's winter blanket off for the final time this winter. She just had a roll and is covered in mud and dirt, but look at her sweet eye and pleasant expression. I am looking forward to giving her a bath and getting both of us some muscle tone. Look at my little round belly and her scrawniness! We are ready to shake off the end-of-winter blues!!!! We are standing by her stall, Lucky #7, from which she has views of a big pasture and then she can peek toward the house. She's got a very comfortable, safe home!!
