Will spring ever get here?

It sure has been a rough March. We have had a record amount of snow for the month, lots of rain and ice. I have finally been able to get Mingo down the trail, but only to the river--it is either icy or too high. I'm hoping that this weekend, I might be able to cross. He is starting to settle down on the trail, but that is only this side of the river.
I haven't been able to get Cruiser out--he has to wear eggbar shoes to support his tendon, and you can't ride a horse in snow with shoes--particularly eggbars. We have been working in the arena, and he is doing very well. The vet has allowed us to trot for about 6 weeks, now. He is looking really good, too. The new sugar free-low carb diet is doing a great job on him. (He's recently diagnosed insulin resistant.)
Someday, it will be spring.
