Sun!

We are getting some lovely sunshine these days, so I've been happily shooting photos. Trying to get some good "G" shots for Sunday.

I thought this one was fun, with my shadow on Sparkle. Hey, Wendy, I found some white hairs on Sparkle! Well, silver hairs, really, and in the exact same place Beamer has them- on her upper lip. I'll try to get a photo of it.

Rode Beamer again today, finally have good footing in the pastures. I had him at the hitching rail, and two horses were coming down the road, one being ridden and one being led. The lady says to me, "So, you got a bronc there?" Excuse me? Bronc? So I say, "What makes you say that?" "Oh, just making conversation!"says she. Hmmmm. Funny way to start a conversation with a complete stranger. Especially when you have to get off and walk your horse. She had an 8 yr. old Rocky Mountain horse that she's had for a year, got it unbroke and wants to train it a bit and sell it. Sure was a pretty horse. Gaited, I believe; should make a great trail horse for someone who is willing to put a little time in on her.

I'm itchin' to get some training done on Chickory, as soon as her teeth are done, she'll be in school. The lady I was trail riding with has a round pen I can use, so the fun will begin next week!
