these are the good old days

Our record breaking warm temperatures came to an end on Thursday evening with a violent storm followed by this lovely double rainbow. Pie and Sovey treated us to daily pony rides all week. My tailbone is hurting from too much bareback riding. Ouch - but I do hate to complain when the boys are so good. Today was cooler and windy and I decided to just groom and graze each horse. I admit to being too busy to blog properly, but it is a happy busy. I'll catch up soon!

  4. Glenda - Thanks for you words of encouragement. As always, you inspire me to keep the creativitiy flowing!

    allhorsestuff - Kacy you crack me up about riding bareback! I am glad your weather changed and you are out on the trails. I can't wait to read about the ponying trip with sweet Wa mare.

    Paint Girl - Glad your wind and rain are done! Now you can enjoy your birthday girl, Chance!

  5. As I get ready to go see Lilly today, the wind is wild! That might mean no trail ride! Because I'd sure hate to get whacked with a falling limb! Maybe instead I will practice my own bareback riding in the ring(?) hah! doubtful! because I am too chicken!

  7. Bareback can be so fun, dont you think? LOVE the double rainbow picture, what a visual treat.
    So..curious..with the storms you've been getting (us too), how are the boys doing with the 24/7 turnout? Do they have shelter and did they use? I'm so curious b/c everytime I think Laz could do that, he's in his stall avoiding high winds/ or rain or etc..not sure what to do if in the future I have to move him.
