So what is everyone planning to do this winter? Who's going to FL? Who's doing the icicle circuit? Who is taking the winter off? Who is driving a hore drawn sleigh through the snow :teehee:

I'll be taking the winter off with a few exceptions to get some points in case I want to do Devon this year....Madame Trainer was nice enough to hook me up with another trainer for my limited icicile ciruit appearances.

Now, do snow suits come in size 84" with a passanger compartment? Any hints for staying warm?

We are doing St. Louis and then Gulfport. I wasn't crazy about Thermal last year.

I'm doing St. Louis in Jan and Feb. The barn's heading to Ocala in February, but I'm staying home. Maybe next year...sigh.

None. I was planning to take the winter off anyhow to work on changes with Somerset AND to spend time/money bringing Shane back to work. Yesterday he decided to be an equine shish-kabob, so now I'll be first spending time/money on that wound and then seeing where we are. So... no winter show plans. I have to live vicariously through you guys. Better post lots of pics!

No showing plans. It's a breath of fresh air to not have a show to prep for...either managing or competing. This is the time I use to re-charge for next year.

(And just think, I only do about 9 small shows a year and run 3 schooling shows. I'd be a basket case if I had to do more. :lol: )

Looks like I'll be doing the Icicle Circuit too! Gardnertown this weekend... although it's going to be a balmy 50 degrees. Then possibly an Our Farm ( brand new mamagement and facility re-vamped ) since it's 5 miles from the farm, and Swan Lake the first week in January. :psycho:

Just decided with Ms. Trainer that I'll be doing the A/A's at the Barracks in January on the greenie I'm leasing. He'll be making his 3' debut, and other than one show I did with him last August over little stuff, this will be my first show since 2001. We'll see how this one goes before signing up for anything else, but I'm excited! I guess it's time to step away from the holiday cocktails and cookies if I want to actually fit into my show clothes . . .

I'll be here in the frozen Northeast, but Bubba will be heading to Gulfport. You guys that are going, please stop by to see him and give him kisses for me. He'll probably be doing the Sunshine Hunters, an unrated division, since I don't want to make my poor trainer braid him.

Swan Lake Jan 4, then Lex in Va the first week of Feb. Then we'll see...the $$$ will have to come into play at that point and I'll probably take March and much of April off and then start up again with Culpepers in May thru the summer...

RH -- I haven't forgotten about our "cheese date!" I've been utterly swamped with work, trying to get to year-end. But after the New Year I'm definitely up for a Cowgirl Creamery rendez-vous!

Swan Lake next week where I will attempt to make my A/O debut on Sboy as I wasn't able to this fall. Cross your fingers! Swan Lake and Lex in Jan, the final SL in Feb and then off to Wellington. :clap: :clap:

Rachel, last year at the Feb Swan Lake it was 11 degrees the second day of the A/Os. It hurt to breathe!

Bummer. Sounds like I'm going to miss all you guys at the first Swan Lake. :lonely: I'd really prefer that over the Barracks, but I've got a house full of family until Jan. 2. Don't think I'll have enough riding time over the next week to make showing there worthwhile.
