On Monday night, many in New Jersey braced themselves for up to two feet of snow. The weathermen and weatherwomen told us we would have enormous amounts of snow and wind. Freddy and I eagerly watched out the window only to see flakes peacefully layering themselves upon the 4 inches from the weekend before. We got about 5 more inches, which was no trouble for the snowplows in the area to clean up.
As you know, Freddy absolutely LOVES the snow. He goes bonkers with excitement at the first sight of it and was happy I got to stay home from school on Tuesday to take him out in it. I got a call from my friend to ask if I would like to go on a snowy trail ride that morning. "Riding a horse in the snow? How beautiful that would be," I thought. We even decided to let Freddy tag along.
Freddy had never been to a farm and hadn't met a horse that I know of (remember we do not know what he did before I adopted him). When we pulled into the farm Freddy dashed out of the car to sniff around. As we walked into the stable to tack up the horses, he followed. He darted in zigzags from stall to stall to check out his new, bigger, four-legged friends. You should have seen his face. It was if to say, "Hmmmm....What are these guys about? What do they smell like? What are they eating? Mmmm....This stuff is delicious." Yup, Freddy will eat anything! He was trying to steal the horses' breakfasts. Silly pup!

As we got on the horses, Freddy led the way. He was very comfortable on the farm. Check out how his first farm visit went in the photos and videos below.

| Not only did Freddy check out the horses but they were curious about him too! |
 |
| Whoa, Freddy...I think I'll rename him Full Speed Ahead Fred! |

| After the trail ride was over, Freddy was ready to have his mom back all to himself. I just love this dog so much! <3 |
