The headline of the weekend was for sure the Snowzilla storm Jonas, and our social media streams this weekend were full of horses playing in snow combined with lucky riders in Florida and California enjoying the sun!
Lynn Symansky is in Ocala, Fla., to get a jump on the competition season, but she left a few horses at home to battle the more-than-3’ snow drifts in Middleburg, Va.
While the competition horses are enjoying their time in Florida, the horses that stayed behind in Virginia were excited…
