New Years Day Ride

Since we had the snow I haven't dared trying to traverse down the backside of the Christmas Tree farm.  So day before yesterday we christened the snow up the hill through the woods and just looped around the top of the tree farm.  When we came back down I noticed deer tracks along the end paddock so I decided to follow them.  When we got to the corner of the fence I found quad tracks from their neighbors property leading out to the woods so we followed them.  It's not a very long trail, but it takes us out to a huge crop field.  We went back again yesterday and Cheryl rode one of the lesson horses out with us.  She tells me that you can ride clear into Massachusetts to the next mountain.  Come spring I think we'll have to check it out.  Today I took Ozzy back out with me and we just rode by ourselves.  We did the loop around the tree farm and then back out to the crop field.  Since we were on our own we walked around the perimeter about half a mile and turned around.  Hard to believe it was January 1st, as it was nearing 50 degrees.  Gorgeous day and a great ride with my pony and trail dog.  I took a short video of the rowdy trail dog....this was the first time he's taken off into the woods on us.  He usually trots right along side us, gotta love that bell!   

Wonderful way to start out New Year.  Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
