A week ago we were in shirtsleeves sweating after long gallops with our Belle Meade Hunt friends. This picture is in Aiken where we met up with Val and Kara Levin. What fun and what a wonderful temperature ( about 72)! Now, in Maryland it is barely 20 degrees and everyone is in the barn, under blankets and still cold. Hoses frozen, bucket latches frozen, ice in the buckets!!! Retirement some day in Georgia seems like a pretty good idea about now! The new mare Hallowed Dream arrived yesterday from Kentucky, poor girl, traveling on the coldest night of the year. However she has settled in fine and seems a wonderful addition to the broodmare band. Now she just has to win over Lily, the resident bitch and boss mare, but shivering together may work. There is warmth in numbers at this point. Glad to be home and sleeping in my own bed. It was a wonderful southern break and I recommend hunting with Belle Meade for everyone. It was the most fun and challenging hunting/riding I have done in a long time. Red and Polly were champions. We are all planning the trip for next year.
