Riding fun

Wow, did August just FLY by?!

Summer seems to last a minute and winter...ugh, I can't even go there mentally now.

So a bit of a catch up.

Minor toe rolling to prevent cracks and flares. 

I want a hoof jack so badly...my back wants a hoof jack so badly...maybe one day.

Laz in pony dream land after I massaged him a couple of weeks ago..

He was actually DROOLING...ahhhh pony spa brain.

This boy LOVES to be pampered.

Labor Day weekend, lots of fun!

We went back to school shopping for my Teaching Husband, and since we were driving RIGHT BY the pony, of course we had to stop

A quick bareback hack

Here is Sir WonderPony standing still as a fat statue to allow me to open gate.

(((sigh)))

I love my OTTB 

I also love how he doesn't seem to mind that my leg is NEVER giving the 'correct' cue

LORD! I'm in need of some lessons...maybe one day. When that money tree grows and my horse has a new RH hoof. Yea, then.

Playing out in the field and working on hill work

Yay Laz

Sometimes we walk it, trot it or canter it

Who DOESN'T have dirty ass pants like this and goes back to school shopping in public?!

Then, Labor day Monday I got a text from the Barn owner; let's trail ride!!

Me: "Um..YEAAA"

Laz checking out the rig

"Ok, less go!"

"Do I goes in heres wif my saddlez?"

Um, No Laz. 

Actually, you are staying behind buddy.

Instead the BO rode her gorgeous grey OTTB Pito, and I rode her 2nd OTTB Red

Red has been off the track I believe a couple of years and is super sensitive but sweet and willing.

This is probably his 3rd or 5th trail ride out.

He is a TINY 15 hand deer like OTTB

We had a nice evening ride with only a minor water crossing issue.

Both horses decided they would make us dismount to walk over the raging river puddle and work themselves up in a lather.

Terrible picture BUT we ended the ride with a nice canter/gallop out in one of the BIG HUGE fields.
This huge riding park is so awesome! We saw deer everywhere 

Enjoying summer's last Michigan sunset over the lake from the trail

And..adding to my side little biz-now featuring the "OFF THE TRACK JACKET"

Tomorrow the heart horse gets a new cast on

Cast #3!!! :)
