Ride #...who cares?! I'm riding!!!!!!

Will I ever get a good photo of Mason and Laz together? LOL! Soon..I feel it.

Today, we were alone out at the farm, which was fine....quiet and serene.

Laz and I did our arena work and again, OTTB BOREDOM kicked in when Laz kept grabbing a construction cone from one of the obstacles, every time we passed it and threw it.  

So, I took him out on the front lawn again, we walked around the garden side eying up the yummy vegs, walked a couple of tiny hills in the front, up and down, and then I jogged beside him while he channelled his inner race track stud mode.  

He was funny! 

He arched his neck and picked up a crappy trot and snaked his head side to side and I kept running beside him just saying "gooood boy" so he knew it was ok to snark out and play for a minute.  We did that for a while, then he started getting a little bold and bratty so we took it back down to easy walking, grazing, walking and chill mode.

Did I mention I hear things pop and crack when he trots....ugh...I hope it's fixable!

Then, I hopped on and he was a total gentleman again.

I rode from arena, around around, to round pen, to a little of the lawn area and dismounted.  Remounted with camera, took some shots, rode another few minutes and done.

But let's discuss this photo!

A. Look at that FAB mane..so pretty

B. How long have I waited for a photo of in between his ears!?! FOREVER and a day!

C. Love love love the way his cocked ear is like "soooo (sigh) what's next?"

I mean..seriously handsome boy, black tipped ears, with that shiny THICK black mane and curious look. 

 I swear Laz smiles.  He acted happy to be ridden today and even twice wanted to trot with me, so I allowed it for about 4 beats and then had him easy up back to a walk.  

In time Bubba.  

This is the turtle's race we are in, happily!

I just had to post this...due to spreading some miracle horse poop around, look at my Hydrangeas!!!!!!

The colors are like easter candy!!

This is one of my favorite flowers and all our neighbors have been swooooning over them. 

Little do they know my secret is CRAP!

And dinner fresh from the garden. 

Balsamic glazed radishes with basil and parsley, lettuce, broccoli, spring onion, toss in some canned chickpeas and done. 

So fresh and good!
