You know it's Spring when...

You know it's Spring when...

Your horse sheds more hair than he could possibly have on his body.

You fleece pad looks like a horse hair felt pad.

You eyes swell, your nose runs, and you still can't wait to get out &
ride.

Your horse sweats mud through his thick (but shedding like crazy) coat.

Your horse changes color after his first Spring bath.  (What do you mean
I have a gray - I thought he was a light chestnut!)

The fresh green grass is almost more important to your horse than grain
& carrots.

The ponies all come into the dry lots.  (No grass foundering this year!)

Face fly season starts.

There's enough daylight that you can ride in the evenings without
looking like a lit Christmas Tree along the roadside.

Any more?   I think this ends SADDR (Seasonal Affective Disorder of
Distance Riders)!!!!!!!!!  Now DIMR kicks in.  (Distance Induced Mental
Retardation)
