Blazing "New" Trails

Rode with Bill & Majesty

Switching saddles ... again ... can't make up my mind about which fits best

I decided I did NOT like the sheepskin on this saddle and stuffed it in my saddle bags after 10 minutes

Decided to take a different path today.  We wandered down some our neighboring streets west of our house.  Morgan found a patch of bamboo and started munching. She reluctantly left her happy place, but took a stalk of bamboo in case she got hungry later.  Silly but adorable mare.

The view we see the most ... Majesty's calm, comforting walk

It had rained really hard Friday night and we wanted to see if we could find a puddle or two to play in, but the dunes were dry by the time we got there.  Tons of cottontail rabbits, lizards, and jack rabbits to be seen, but not even a tiny puddle.

At the cross roads ... right, left, straight?

Up ahead lay dunes that we have been playing in all year, but when you visit them from a different path, they become new again.  Decided to head off to the left and try those dunes for a bit.  Basically the same scenery (mesquite trees, bushes, sage, rocks, etc.) but the slopes and angles of the dunes were different.

Hey Majesty ... what are you doing so far behind us ... catch up lazy!

Most of the time Majesty is in the lead when we climb sand dunes, but he was in no rush today.  Morgan and I had to wait for him to catch up, which meant I had lots of pictures of Majesty in the distance.  The cool weather made our jaunt comfortable as well as fun ... wish it would be like this all year long!

Sweetest face ever .... love you Morgie!
