Took the beast out yesterday for her first short road trip to a beautiful farm. Many thanks to Blue Horse Equestrian! Luckily, she loaded, travelled and unloaded wonderfully. Behaved herself while at the farm and jumped right back on the trailer to go home. It is always nice when training pays off.

Brunch ride

I had a fantastic ride on Tyrone Farms Brunch ride. Was allowed to ride it twice. It was a fantastic day and couldn't ask for a better day. Cher was fantastic, and is tolerating water much better than she often does. Schooling water was good for her, but with the amount of water we have had recently, she doesn't have much of an option right now.

Baby horses are fun they said.

Baby horses are fun they said... I knew better but I love a good challenge. I this is one reason I could perhaps afford her. Good thing I love her and she is sweet. 

She did eventually find her brains again. Learning to lunge is hard. 

My tags from Haltertags are here! They are beautiful quality brass and much deeper etched than smartpaks... But it also took much longer to get them!!! 4 weeks! First world problems? Are we getting too impatient? I am not sure.

Breeches for sale.

 All pictures show a bit of dust from table. Excuse my poor housekeeping;) 

IRIDEON SIT TIGHT AND WARM FULLSEAT- Brown. 2X.  In good condition. But has one small hole on thigh. See picture. 

IRIDEON SIT TIGHT AND WARM KNEEPATCH-black. 2x. Looks brand new! Not my favorite color so I don't think I ever used them. Suede is totally unworn.

IRIDEON SIT TIGHT AND WARM KNEEPATCH- brown. 2x. Worn but very useable! 

Kerrits Microcord full seat 2x. Cadet blue. Brand new, never worn.  No tags though- because I planted the carrots last year;) 

Kerrits flex II- full seat. Herringbone. Used but in excellent condition. Ridden in a handful of times before I went down a size. 

Kerrits tights knee patch 2x. Blue herringbone. Well used. 

Wordless Wednesday

Beauty Shop Barbie

Beauty shop Barbie's report card for the day... 

Trailer loading- A++. 

Clipper tolerance-C. Which is much better than the other day. But we still can't actually cut HAIR....but at least we no longer leave the building and can keep our 4 feet planted still and just need to make ridiculous faces. 

Spot bath/tolerating the hose-D-... Someone has introduced the princess to a chain shank and she tolerates it better so maybe that ekes her up to a D... 

Being showsheened- nice solid A+.

She is still learning on how to properly socialize with other horses. She still is learning that hay dropping from the sky is not going to kill her. But she seems like she isn't a terribly slow learner. 

She has has gained some muscle and weight. 

And when she is naughty... At least she has a cute nose...
