Oh, Canadian winters are no place for wee donkeys. They need serious shelter and/or blanketing. They are just not designed for the weather we get. And yes, he's spoiled...

a legit excuse to spoil him and try fun blankets.

@Dreams of Ashes are you becoming one of my enablers??? I mean, welcome to the club!!!

Ok crew, where would you go for an instructional driving vacation?

Your place!

@HersheyMint you're more than welcome to come up and visit my motley crew, but I would strongly encourage you to not come in February...

Just a few days shy of a full month since his last drive and Mr. Falcor was just lovely today!!
I put the skis on his cart and out we went. Like @Edelweiss says, hackneys seem to get a bit feral, Falcor wasn’t sure he should be caught when I went in, but it didn’t take him long to come around. I have cookies after all!
We had a good walk in the field but there’s no path broke for us, so we went up to the road instead. Some rocks through the snow made noise on our skis but he handled it just fine. And this time he was happy to trot along. We trotted to both of our closest neighbours’ driveways, further on the road than we’d ever been before!! Such a good and brave, happy pony!!

Your area looks pretty, also cold. Good for Falcor

@HersheyMint it truly is the great white north! It's cold today but will warm up to right around the freezing mark for Christmas.
