Happy Winter Solstice my fellow horse people! Equestrians across the Northern Hemisphere will be celebrating the shortest/darkest day of year not necessarily for any pagan reasons, but simply because the sunlight hours begin getting longer again after today. For horse people who never have enough time in the day and for Vitamin D-starved office workers alike (I’m both) this is a joyous occasion. Slowly but surely it will be summer again before we know it. It really can’t come fast enough, though.
