Winter training with some kicking up of the heels - and a fitting quote

I thought it would be a good idea to longe Remy today in the snow in one of the pastures we had closed for the winter. What great exercise, as we could incorporate hill work on safe footing. Well, the best laid plans.. While Remy was treading carefully in the outdoor arena due to spots of ice, he went into YeHa! mode on the soft ground in the pasture, kicking up his heels and putting me into the snow in return. What can I say: He got his exercise - and nobody got hurt.

As for the current situation I try to learn from Hermann Hesse*:


*Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962) Hermann Karl Hesse was a German-born Swiss poet, novelist, and painter. His best-known works include DemianSteppenwolfSiddhartha, and The Glass Bead Game, each of which explores an individual's search for authenticity, self-knowledge and spirituality. In 1946, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature.
