Why Horse People Don’t Need a Groundhog to Know Spring is Coming…
Sadly, Punxsutawney Phil saw his furry little shadow and scurried back into his burrow, supposedly predicting six more weeks of winter. However, he may have just been hiding from the 30,000 people gathered around his underground home at Gobbler’s Knob in Pennsylvania.
That’s our story, and we’re sticking to it!
Just for fun, here are a few reasons why horse people don’t need a groundhog to know spring is on its way.
- The insane amount of horse hair on every piece of clothing you own prompts people at the grocery store to think you raise alpacas.
- Facebook becomes flooded with photos of adorable “early arrival” foals
- You receive the news that entry dates are already coming up for that important horse show, the one that takes place in October…
- Upon resuming normal exercise, your Western Pleasure horse resembles more of a Grand Prix show jumper or Dressage prospect.
As a fellow horse fanatic, how do you know spring is on its way?
