Happy Birthday Weekend!

What a great three days we have had! Hennessey, Underwood, & the ranch. Only Ziggy got in trouble and it was for his usual passive/aggressive behavior of "I'll go where I want to go" unless Lynn is paying attention. He got his hiney spanked over and over on Sunday, until she really laced him and then he paid attention. It's nice that he is feeling better and back to his old tricks.

Alisa had so much fun--it was written all over her face. We heard lots of laughing and giggling coming from the back, since she and Keota mostly rode in back. But then we'd hear his hooves and would be loping up the trail. He loped all over the place!  And sometimes, if I turned back quick enough to watch, I got to see Keota's pretty jumping technique. He looked totally relaxed and like he was having fun every day.

Jupiter was good all three days and although we never got into a lope, we did some hard trotting. He behaved around Keota and that was important to me. He did everything I asked and we had fun, too.

I am looking forward to the next two weekends to do some more! It will be fun to have Alisa with us again.
