Oct. 16th--First Snow

Seasons End

All good things must come to pass. Except for Arena Polo, the polo season is over in New England. Mark is now managing the polo program at Shallowbrook Equestrian Center in CT. Tequilla has moved-out, and soon Trick and Eva will also leave. This will leave Divine and Alcott for polo. Alcott, at age 27, will only be used for lessons from now-on. Tab is doing a lot of trail riding with Zanita, who is turning out to be a fabulous trail horse. Jen, when she is home on weekends from college, rides Zanita. They definitely have a bond between them! Alcott, C'est Bon and Sage, are just hanging-out getting fat and lazy. In addtion to daily chores, there are many things to get done before winter. Rainsheets and winter blankets have been taken out of storage, tack and equipment inventoried, water heaters found, fencing checked, and storm windows put up in the barn. Its still busy around the farm, but quieter. Maybe we will eventually have some "down time" and can curl-up and read a good book--probably a book about horses!!!
