YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

On Saturday, Lynn and I did some toe trimming. Wait until Adam sees the raggedy job we did! :) But we got Jupiter and Ziggy into some boots and away we went. In addition to just getting to ride, both of us have been wanting to see our trails. Yep, sure enough we have some trees down across the way and we had to jimmy-jack ourselves around them and we didn't even go all the way to the top! The boys were puffing a little, Zigs doesn't like wearing boots, and both of them were not happy about walking across rocks, so we did a short ride.

But it was glorious. There was water running everywhere and the evidence of where water had run earlier was crazy. Everything was bright green and the beginnings of flowers are starting to come out. There was even some snow still tucked into shadows.

Ziggy is so silly--he loves to slide down hills. He just plants his front feet and whoosh. Lynn even squealed once because it was a fast, out-of-control slip. I think I could see Ziggy grinning. If he has to wear those boots, he's going to make it fun. If not for her, at least for him. :)

The girls were happy and running, too. The water was cold, I'm sure, but that didn't keep them from running through it. As I am writing this, Ziva stood up and vomited up a horse hoof--good grief, from Saturday! It wasn't even chewed, she must have swallowed it whole. Poor thing.

Shoes on Tuesday; the boys will be happy and we can start the season of riding. I think all of us: horses, dogs, people--all of us are excited and happy to get out and be on our mountain!
