The girls get to expand their horizon


Ted and I finally got the posts pounded to support the back fence which is made of panels. So I was able to take down the electric fence which I've been using to keep the fillies from pushing on the fence- which means that I was finally able to let them out into the adjoining paddock. Ted cleaned their corral too, so things are finally starting to shape up around here.
This pen hasn't been cleaned for years, that is some seriously good dirt piled up there; want some, Janice?

Didn't take Chickory long to spot the new opening. This is the pen that she was in with Coyote Belle when I weaned Sparkle.


Wasn't long till all three of them were rippin' around...


havin' fun.....


lookin' pretty....

Check out the extended trot on Velvet, another year and a half before I get to ride that lovely gait! Her mama was one of the smoothest horses I've ever ridden. Meanwhile Beamer was ripping around in his pen, wanting to get out there with them and have some fun too. He'll get to have his fun this weekend when I go to my first team sorting with him- that is, if I don't have to work!
