Mare Love

46 minutes - 1.36 miles - Morgan

So, Morgan and I took a leisurely stroll through the desert. She stared daggers at a plasric bag stuck in a bush, so we walked over to face it, but it didn't move so she got bored.  We ambled, she snacked, we stopped and watched the sun set.  The perfect ending to a day.

Rhulain Knows When I Need Her

Grabbed a cross-under, ran over to Rhulain's stall, and looked at her pleadingly.  She blew warm air in my hair and dropped her nose.  I slipped it over her ears and headed off to the turn out where I hopped on bareback. We didn't spend much time, or go very far, but it was great fun to move around together.  I love my mares ... They take good care of me when I need it most.

Bareback Quickie

8 minutes - 0.22 miles - Morgan

Completed my chores and rewarded myself with a bareback ride around the yard on Morgan.  She was well behaved and so she got to snack on the budding grass.  Much needed Morgie time which was very appreciated.

Rhulain vs Trash Cans

28 minutes - 1.25 miles - Rhulain

The sun was dropping fast, but I figured Rhulain and I could squeeze in a walk.  We hustled for the first half mile, then goofed off and she snacked for a bit before we started home.  The wind bothered her and she was amped, but she never crowded me so I let her be.

When we got home, I had her "help" me bring in the trash can. She hated every second. So, we went out and grabbed the second one as well. She was not entertained by my actions. Ah, well.

I put her in the turn out so she could kick up her heels and race around a bit. She did not disappoint! Always a pleasure to watch her antics 😃

Morgan has Spunk!

24 minutes - 1.26 miles - Morgan

Morgan and I haven't had much time together lately, so I decided to get in some bay love. I walked beside her, snuggling and chatting for the first half of the walk.  I found a ditch, parked her in it, and hopped in the saddle for the ride home.

She is awesome.  Trotted the whole way home, with me giggling in delight.

Once home, we spent some time in the turn out posing for the camera, then racing around wildly.  It was fabulous!  She can move when she wants to ... Which isn't all that often, so I drink it in when she is feeling spunky.

Rhu time = Emotional reset

15 minutes - 0.35 miles - Rhulain

Rhu, oh Rhu, how have I missed you?
Let me count the ways!

There wasn't any daylight left, but that didn't stop me from needing Rhu time.  Spent only a few minutes doing groundwork, then saddled and played in the turn out.

Amazing.

I closed my eyes, dropped the reins, and just breathed in my Rhu.  I have missed her smell, her movement, and the connection.

Walking with Rhu

19 minutes - 1.03 miles - Rhulain

Snuck in a not-so-quick mile with Rhulain tonight. I could have made better time, but I would have had less fun. The trade off was well worth it ... She seemed to think so too!
