0.24 miles - 14 minutes - Rhulain, groundwork
15 minutes each: Morgan, Sundance, Majesty, and Wasabi
It snowed last night in the pass ... not enough to reach the valley floor, but it made for some spectacular views. It rained yesterday and more rain is expected tomorrow ... so naturally I squeezed in some horse time between the storms.
First came Rhulain ... we did some ground work, then a good grooming and a saddle fitting (she is so patient). Ryver was chasing a rabbit which darted under Rhu's belly. The dobie dashed between her front legs and the hitching post in hot pursuit. Rhu flicked an ear and yawned. Love that mare!
We did a two mile walk and soaked in the sunshine. Sweet serenity!
Got back and put Rhu in the turn out. Rhu dropped her muzzle in the sand and then chased me around trying to give me kisses ... she looked like a llama with a mustache.
I had the bitless in hand, and Sundance put her nose in it. Well, ok. I hopped on bareback and we did a few laps around the turn out. She seemed to appreciate the time. I rode Morgan bareback around the turn out as well. The kid was riding his quad around the yard, but Morgan seemed less worried about it today. Good job!
Since I was in the mood, I drug Majesty out of his comfy stall and made him carry me around the yard bareback too. He walks on the buckle and it always surprises me for the first few moments. He is such a good natured old man.
I thought about trying it with Wasabi, but she gave me such a cranky face I didn't think it would be wise. Instead, I switched to a halter and we did a few laps around the yard with the kid racing us on his quad. She wasn't finished yet, but it was time to feed so we called it a day.
