A short catch up

I am the chubby hamster running pell-mell on the wheel in her cage and getting nowhere! I have stories to tell and no time to tell them!

First, we spent Memorial Day weekend riding with Alisa and Toni and a good time was had by all. As usual! Toni got to ride Buster, Mr. Steady and Reliable. Alisa didn't have an 8-second ride, but it probably felt like it. Keota threw a fit for no apparent reason and broke the brush and bucked and skewed around coming off the cut off trail to the road. Alisa just rode it out (although she did holler).

The four girls, three black wild things and one tan one, all had fun, too. Ziva even learned how to be a rock climber! Boy was she tired.

The next weekend, Lynn was talking about how all of our horses are such good trail horses. She was going on about the down-fall trees and steepness of the trails and such. Yep, we could sure show ol' what's-his-name Cameron a thing or two about trail riding. Then going on a steep downhill trail, Buster stepped on a downed limb. It broke and one end of it flew straight up and at Jupiter. He reared and hopped and freaked out. I broke a nail and said the S-word. Small horse-eating monster on the trail. From that point on he was on alert. No white rocks or gray limbs were going to take him unawares. He had his eye on them and his butt swiveled out the way just in case. We came out onto the flat below the really steep part of our top trail and lo and behold--something was in the bushes. Something big. I thought it was a horse. It was an orange cow. OMG. It was a fast and interesting ride to the trailer. Yep, Jupes is real trail horse, and a good one, just a little scaredy.

Lynn and I went to Underwood without Shirley one day. We tried out new trails and probably won't do that particular one again--it was a mess. But fun to trailblaze. They went without me one day, but only went to the top and back of Hennessey.

Now it's time for the Expo! We are eagerly awaiting the fun. I hope everyone sleeps well the rest of the week, because we are going to be tired walking and walking and talking and looking and looking and more talking. :)
