Yesterday was day 1 of the horsemanship challenge for me. I loaded up Jessie and Kali and was heading down to Brooks to ride. It was a little bit colder than the forecast said but I was too excited that I was going anyways...after all the arena is heated.
Got to the number 1 corner and got thinking I shoulda called and made sure there was open riding but most days nothing goes on until the late afternoon evening. Well as I pulled up I got suspicious when I saw the Stampede Ranch truck. But wasn't concerned until I come around front and there was about 10 trucks there. Sure enough booked from 8-6 for colt starting. Ahhh!!!!

Well felt like a waste of trip but I went to a few places in town and then got lunch and headed home. I didn't get much work in so spent a few minutes just working with the two leading and turning and stopping and making sure they listened. Worked well. Then I fed them and was done for the day. So only about 15 minutes of horsemanship in today. But at least I know I have the energy to go and back and I'm sure to ride too.
And a pretty pic of Razz just cause shes so pretty :) and Disco I love her hair :)

aw man, I hate that... Or I hated that when I had to go ride at a different arena.
But at least you were able to get some time in and that is important for sure. I know you know that sometimes its those little sessions where we just do ground work and stuff that are the most important.
I love Disco's hair too. She looks soft and fluffy.
Oh a heated arena how awesome!! It looks cold in those photos. Such pretty ponies!
Yeah... always listen to those little voices....
Gotta admire your determination!
Girl you are a going concern. I couldn't keep up if I tried. Sorry to hear you are not feeling well...or should say weren't feeling well. You guys are sure having horrendous weather...I feel for you. We are a bit luckier over this way...hoping it stays that way.All the best for 2014.Take care of yourself!!!
