December has brought snow on the mountains, rain everywhere else, and that familiar, low winter sunlight. We cherish the daylight we have, and the horses are all cute, fuzzy, and well-insulated.
Jerry and I took an actual vacation recently, joining our friends Dave Ellis and Jody Grimm at their ranch near Porterville, California for a relaxed week of horsemanship and cow work. We took Jerry's young horse Jackson, and my trainee Oliver, from Wensleydale Farms in Oregon. The dogs came too--Jackie the old hand, and my Alice, brand new to the whole travel thing. We had a great time with a great group of people, working cows, exploring the ranch, and spending some nice arena time with Dave. Many thanks to our hosts!
Warmest wishes. Wherever the holidays find you, we wish you and yours a safe, warm, wonderful Christmas and New Years!
Yours in good health and wise horsemanship,
Mary Gallagher
