Uncooperative Weather

Well......this weather is certainly undesirable for March.  I think I can count on one hand how many days have been sunny!  This is sad for March 18th!  Here I bought all this horse equipment and I can't even use it!     It's suppose to be 17 tonight and with the windchill it is suppose to feel more like -1 (yes...negative one!!!)  I heard someone say that last March we were in the 80s!!!  So...no wonder I'm chomping at the bit!  I can't start my horse on a new trick unless the ground is going to stay unfrozen for a week (so they can get the hang of it) so that I don't hurt their joints and cause them pain because horses are not stupid....if it hurts when they do something--they will NOT want to do what you ask again (unless they are a friesian or a very trusting/relaxed horse)!  Maybe April will be better?  Looks like March won't be getting any better....and it looks like this girl needs to be more patient!
