Wow, what a fantastic, productive weekend. Too many photos to go through right now, but hereās a snippet of some of the great things we got accomplished camping the last couple of days.
We had the first 3-4 rides on Bluebell (2 1/2 year old blue roan draft cross) this past week at home. Her first ride out of the roundpen was out on the trails at Ukarydee and youād never know she doesnāt have years of experience. No fight going in the water, walk/trot/lope down the trails, not bothered by traffic on the roads. Even used her to help push in one of the older horses that hasnāt been in water before and was nervous to dip his toes. We are so impressed!
Broke out the 2 year old Percheron to saddle and rider Indian style in the lake, using Big Pimp and Barbie as the solid helper ranch mounts. Ended up riding Swiss Roll back to camp from the lake the next day ba****ck in a halter- another big win!
Big D has lived his life as a stall/arena princess his 5 years of life. Heās fancy broke but the guy doesnāt know how to relax and be a horse. Never seen a trail and let me tell ya, this weekend did him good!! He started stressed, unsure, and apprehensive. Ended it riding him ba****ck riding the trails, swimming in the lake, relaxing in his outdoor pen. Just what he needed ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
More photos to come!!
