Chasing Away Monday Blues

Monday, July 14th  Left at 8:08 Arrived at  8:26 pm  92°
Solo ride - Morgan

Awww man. Another ride?
Yes Morgan ... but a quick one ... Bill will be home soon

Decided to take Morgan out solo this evening.  She was kind of a snot at first - didn't want to stand still, didn't want to leave the driveway, didn't want to head down the same "scary" path we ride down 90% of the time.  She didn't refuse, she just stalled or dragged her feet when asked to move.

Morg, are you listening to Majesty's whining way off in the distance?
Nope. Checking to make sure it was safe to head out in to the wilds

After the first few minutes, she settled down.  It occurred to me that we hadn't ridden by ourselves for over a week, so it was natural for her to hesitate.  A little bit of patience and reassurance went a long way to having a relaxed mare.

Mom, I think I hear dinner ... we better hurry
That's just Bill's truck arriving home.

 Trotting, even on my gaited beauty, does not make for good pictures
But it does make for some interesting fuzzy shots

Morgie ... what are you doing over there?

Eating the apple you left on the barrel!

Morgan, wiping your lips on me after a snack is not a nice way to say thank you

Awwww, but you love me. Gimme kisses right here!
