It has been quite a winter for us here at the new property! Our first winter on the mountain brought minus 13 degree temperatures! We had winds at 50 & 60 mph with 80 mph gusts one day! We had rolling black outs to maintain electrical service... carrying warm water to the horses in buckets for over a week... Workshops were not possible here, but I taught lots of private lessons and did two speaking engagements in the city. Now, we need to find a way to build a working and healing barn where we can also host the workshops. Dreaming - I hope for more land (it's possible) and (big dream) a modest indoor school. But things are possible now because we have our own place and, even though I am not usually drawn to join organizations, I am feeling connected to friends in the local Horseman's Association and we've had great fun volunteering for their Horse Trials competitions. I've been judging shows for them some, which helps add a bit of funds to our cause and keeps me meeting great people! A good friend used to say, "Onward into the fog!" Here we go - I feel like Dharmahorse is stepping forward, out of the fog!
